Sex Recession?

~ Alastair Roberts

Any thoughts on the recent research on decreased rates of sex among under 30s, especially men? I would particularly be interested in any thoughts you might have on what it suggests about relations between men and women in society today.

Within this episode, I discuss this recent research. The statistics on age at first marriage I discuss can be seen here. On women’s earning more than men and the damaging effects this has on marriage see, for instance, this discussion. I mention this article I wrote on the ‘bad sex’ of Kristen Roupenian’s essay ‘Cat Person’. I also mention Mark Regnerus’s book Cheap Sex (which I reviewed here).

If you have any questions for me, please leave them on my Curious Cat account. If you have found these videos helpful, please tell your friends. If you would like to support my continued production of them, you can do so on my Patreon account. You can donate on PayPal here. You can also get the audio of these videos on Soundcloud or iTunes.
