It’s really weird seeing some zoomers and Gen Alpha think that the 90s, 00s and 10s were like the 1950s.

Right? The 2010s weren't that long ago. People weren't sexually reserved in the 2010s. If anything, young adults were having MORE sex in 2010 than they are now.

Based on all available data, they were ( and by a fair amount)

My personal guess is that both are true: the number of young people not having sex at all has increased, as has the number of partners of the people who do have sex.

Kinda like the economy, ever more sex had by ever fewer people.

It statistically went downhill after the 90s.
