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.

Not buying this. Human nature being what it is.
They’re probably all nuns but then sometimes I wonder about them.
Why would a man with a brain have sex with a female when 30 years later he can be charged with rape?? Please answer that.
I think it’s true. They’ve been told the world is too dangerous with every single move you make and that they need to listen to the government in order to prosper.
The democrats have spent a lot of time perverting sex and putting men and women against each other. It’s sad because they’re really missing out on the love and strong bond a husband and wife can have for each other.
Odd. The more connected we get, the more isolated we become.
There truly is something real called ‘ignorant bliss’.
The young guys should hook up with older women. No one complains.
They put condoms up their nose so yea.
“Odd. The more connected we get, the more isolated we become.”
Not really. They aren’t really connected at all. Not in any serious manner anyway.

Send one down to Hawaii.
And they eat Tide Pods.
That’s because they’re all masturbating to pervasive porn.
[Odd. The more connected we get, the more isolated we become.]
Yes, you’ll have two kids sitting next to each other texting back and forth rather than talking and making eye contact.
Social skills are taking a nose dive.
[two things, first, this is UK, not the US. Second, the greatest threat to intimacy is social media, where technology kills the soul. That is accentuated in a socialist leaning welfare state where attachments only cost you money and get you nowhere.]

They may be virgins, but they’re watching teraflops of porn.
Fear of intimacy? Perhaps they are careful after seeing the trainwrecks of lives around them.

I would, no problem.
Because I sometimes videotape my escapades. Umm wait, I’m not supposed to say this on this wholesome, family forum called FR.
