I have read that the young men/boys (what generation are they by now, anyway?) have been so conditioned and brainwashed and programmed to eschew anything and all things masculine and manly, that they just aren't pursuing intimacy with the opposite sex.

Also, that the young women are so demanding and perpetually dissatisfied, that is an impediment to intimacy. (Helen Reddy: "I am woman! Hear me whine, moan, nag and criticize!")

Anyway, it would be nice if there were fewer recorded abortions because of a spiritual shift among young people. I doubt that's the case.

That isnt it. They have seen what happens to men in relationships and family court and how they are treated in the home and are deciding that’s not for them.

There is some of what conditioning they claim is going on but not the main reason.

I am reminded of an old saying from long ago, “The game is no longer worth the candle.”
