The shy, studious, nerdy, religious types my kids hang out with don’t want to get involved with sex until they’re older.
Maybe their hormones haven’t fully kicked in yet, but I think they also have had good parents who have made their expectations clear.
BTW, my kids are in public school, so they know promiscuous people, but they think they are losers.
Those things have always been true.
Kids are having just as much sex now as they were 15 years ago.
Anyone who believes that they’re having LESS sex enough to explain the pregnancy/abortion rate hasn’t been paying attention.
Particularly in the demographic that considers teen pregnancy and birth to be a career move that guarantees food, housing and medical care if not a stipend indefinitely. That demographic’s birth rate is down as well. I’m not easily convinced it’s due to their having decided to attend the local JUCO and get associates degrees in bookkeeping.
