There are fewer parties and more people just spending their time alone and online or watching Netflix.

It’s not surprising. I saw a graph on this sub a while back showing that things that were “normal” for high school seniors 40 years ago are becoming increasingly less common. Like drinking, smoking, going on dates, working, having a driver’s license, having sex, and so on.

Turbo hypergamy, and cost of living crisis. Kids have less money cuz parents have less money.

I lost my virginity when I bought a car lol. All of a sudden I had many options

Could it be that spending over a year in lock down hindered high schoolers ability to get laid?

Lockdown
Increased social isolation as a result of internet/social media
1. Less parties
2. Less talking in real life
Increased immigration, resulting in foreign families with more socially conservative values putting kids in schools
Kids are uglier than before (Obesity)

covid isolation and the rise of the internet and social media probably affected this. If you're not going out as much, you not getting laid as much.

LESS unscheduled hangouts and LESS time spent with friends, potential partners, just peers in general. MORE protective parenting (i.e. "dont walk outside without my permission, I'll drive you when my busy schedule allows, otherwise stay home").

Bro whats the point of living for teens at this rate? TikTok videos can only give you so much life satisfaction, what happened to adventure?

Just my observation but high school is a lot more demanding than it was 25+ years ago. We had a lot more free time to fuck around in the 90’s.

I'm waiting for the ppd mommy to tell us that this is fine, that sex is overrated, that there is nothing wrong with the increasing atomization of society since who really desires the emotional turbulence of a relationship when you have pizza, xanax and netflix?

Not actually that big of a drop. If it dropped to like 5-10% then maybe it might back up all these claims of a sexless crysis
