Kinsey Institute Data Reveals Complex Drivers Behind Gen Z Sex Recession
A new Kinsey Institute survey of 2,373 U.S. adults aged 18-29 confirms a decline in sexual activity among young people, though the causes are multifaceted. While 29% of respondents had no sexual partners in the last three months, 19% have never had a partner, and 31% are not sexually active, most report moderate to high sexual desire. Financial stress, digital substitutes for intimacy, and social anxiety are primary barriers, yet 55% of participants report satisfaction with their current sex lives.
