Not getting laid? Your phone may be to blame

Sex rates trend downwards as phone use takes over

Would you rather have sex or use your phone?

While the answer to this question might be self-evident to a lot of us, recent statistics show that the answer is not the same for everyone. Millennials, in particular, have been noted to be having sex only rarely, if at all, even when coupled.

People have stopped having sex in favor of the internet. Before there were cell phones and 24/7 internet, before Match.com and before Tinder, people used to exploit opportunities in real life to meet people and eventually, get laid. What I notice is people ignoring each other in real life in favor of interacting over social media.

Now people are so engaged in their phone usage and entertainment, think Netflix series that people brag about binge-watching to and video games that there’s little energy left to pursue sex in real life.

It’s ironic that now that everything has been sexualized, in the attempt to sell sell sell and get people to buy buy buy that people are increasingly lacking the desire to get it on.

According to a study by Jean M Twenge Ph.D. and colleagues, in March 2018, the average adult has sex nine times fewer than was claimed in the 1990’s. Young men, many of whom are not in the labor force because they prefer to play video games, are also not having sex — preferring to play the video games, instead. Does that seem strange to anyone else besides me? How could a video game be better than sex?
