Millennials are turned off sex, study suggests, with one in eight still virgins at 26

Millennials are waiting longer to have sex, with one in eight still virgins at 26 years old, new research has found.

The sharp rise in the number of young people waiting longer to have sex may be because of a "fear of intimacy" and the pressure of social media, according to analysts.

The Next Steps project, the brainchild of the Department for Education which is now managed by University College London, has tracked 16,000 people born in 1989-90 since they were 14.

The interviews, conducted in 2016, discovered a rise in the number of Millenials waiting longer to have sex compared to previous generations, where one in 20 reported still being virgins at around the same age.

Susanna Abse, a psychoanalytic psychotherapist at the Balint Consultancy, told the Sunday Times: "Millenials have been brought up in a culture of hypersexuality which has bred a fear of intimacy.

Somewhere John Calvin is smiling. The sexual revolution has killed itself. Pretty soon you will not be able to have sex without explicit consent in writing (i.e., a marriage license).

I’m thinking Internet Porn is to blame.

My son is 18 and never been kissed. He made a vow to God to stay chaste until marriage. No STD, bogus rape charge, or baby daddy status in his future. He loves women and wants to find the right one, but most young girls today are skanks.

Good. I believe sex should be between one man and one woman within a marriage. Morals have gone down the drain and I live in the epicenter of it all here in San Francisco. Grotesque sexual acts occur here all the time. There is nothing too perverted for the far left. Perversion in public is encouraged. I don’t even want to begin to describe what I’ve seen.

America needs more like your son. Your son should be regarded as a role model.

Or maybe USA women are too often no longer attractive as wives and mom’s to guy since USA women now want to be men?

Seconded. God bless him, and I pray he finds a worthy girl to have as a wife.

On top of everything else, the libtards have even ruined sex.

This doesn’t apply to minorities, obviously - only to whites. Minorities are boinking away. Suspect it’s part of the plan to eliminate the white race from this world.

Entertainment overload is a huge part of this. This is the first generation to have any type of porn available to them in video any time and any where from as soon as they were given phones. No more finding soggy skin magazines in the woods or whatever—they could literally see anything they wanted to at any time and any where for the cost of internet and a phone, which they probably didn’t pay for at first.

Fortunately, I predate all that.

I had to go to the urologist a couple of years ago for a prostate exam and the nurses asked me whether I wanted to do an STD test (I guess it’s required to ask these days). I said there was no reason, because my wife and I have only been with each other (married 34 years) and so neither of us was going to catch anything.

I can’t help but think of the mouse utopia experiments done from the 1950s through the 1990s. The mice eventually stopped reproducing, after generations of social breakdown.

“I’m thinking Internet Porn is to blame.”

Agree. We now have the ability to take pictures and video at will and share them instantly to everyone. Of course, given human nature and the current state of culture, something that should be special and private was immediately debased by this new ability.

“Not buying this. Human nature being what it is.”

Well, start buying it. More and more studies are showing this. Young people are still interested in sex. They just aren’t interested in PEOPLE. Japanese scholars have been seeing this unfolding in Japan for years. Plenty of pornography, but less and less actual sex. This is from 5 years ago already: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/oct/20/young-people-japan-stopped-having-sex

Still not convinced? How about this: “Nearly a third of Japanese people are entering their 30s without any sexual experience, leaving the country facing a steep population decline” https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/asia/japan-sex-problem-demographic-time-bomb-birth-rates-sex-robots-fertility-crisis-virgins-romance-porn-a7831041.html

More proof - the Incel Movement: https://www.nationalreview.com/2018/05/sex-is-god-for-incel-sexless/

I’m telling you, it’s happening.
