The Least Laid Generation In History: Gen Z Is Ghosting Sex... And The Implications Are Huge | ZeroHedge
ZeroHedge - On a long enough timeline, the survival rate for everyone drops to zero
I feel like we had a lot more fun when I was a kid.It’s not just sex: Alcohol consumption has dropped by 54%, with youth (18 to 34) drinking falling ANOTHER 9% just between 2023 and 2025.So, barmaid, bring a pitcher, another round of brew
Honey, why don’t we get drunk and screw?
- Jimmy Buffett, Why Don’t We Get Drunk (and Screw)
Back in 1991, more than half — 54.1% of all high school students — were sexually active. (The other 45.9% lied about it.)
By 2007, the number fell to 47.8%. Four years later, it dropped again to 43%. By 2017, it was just 39.5%.
As of 2023, it’s 31.6%.
What’s going on with kids today, with their wild, out-of-control abstinence and crazy teetotalling?!
It’s one of the strangest, most inexplicable cultural shifts in recent memory. I was certainly blindsided: I figured our sex drive was so biologically ingrained, it would never go away!
But it has. And with it, so has the U.S. birthrate: It’s now at a 40-year low.
We need a birthrate of 2.1 babies per woman to maintain our population. We’re currently at 1.6.
