New Data Suggests Gen Z Isn't Shunning Sex After All

Summary

New research shows that Generation Z is not having much less sex than older generations, contrary to past reports. The study found that their sexual satisfaction depends more on emotional connection and shared experiences than just physical aspects like orgasm.

Key Facts

  • A study from the women’s health app Flo surveyed nearly 28,000 people, mostly women.
  • Gen Z reported about 87.2% had partnered sex, close to 89.9% for older generations.
  • Sexual satisfaction is linked more to emotional connection with partners than the frequency of orgasms.
  • Around 56% of respondents said they were satisfied with their sex lives; 19.5% were dissatisfied.
  • Stress and anxiety, which are higher among Gen Z, can reduce sexual desire and satisfaction.
  • Solo sexual activity may feel less pressured but does not lead to higher satisfaction compared to partnered sex.
  • Experts note evolving ideas about intimacy and sexual activity among younger people.
  • The study mostly included women who use the Flo app, so the results may not represent all groups equally.
