Sexual activity among young American men has declined sharply since 2000, with nearly a third reporting no sex with a partner in the prior year. According to Reuters, the trend is concerning as sexual relationships are important for well-being and health, researchers note. Also other studies have shown that for some male participants, not becoming a parent had a greater negative effect. With record levels of loneliness and depression in young men, many wonder what the long-term impacts will be to society since traditionally men had to support their family, which in turn supported society. But what happens now? It is also worth noting sexual activity has remained largely unchanged within young women.
