Recent research indicates that Generation Z, born between 1997 and 2012, engages in sexual activity less frequently than older generations, influenced by factors such as social media, mental health issues, and the COVID-19 pandemic. A significant finding is that 25% of Gen Z adults report never having had partnered sex, yet many engage in virtual sexual activities. Therapists note specific challenges Gen Z faces, including difficulty in communicating sexual boundaries and desires, as they navigate relationships informed by modern values like consent and autonomy.
So when young adults say they aren't having sex, this does not necessarily mean that they are sexually inexperienced; rather, many of them seem to be expressing their sexuality in a different way.
I actually encounter a bunch of folks who seek support in learning how to advocate for themselves and to speak truth into their sexual and relational needs.
There is a wide misconception that if you wish to have a long-term healthy relationship, that you need to be ready to meet 100% of your partner's needs 100% of the time.
