Why Is Gen Z Not Doing the Deed?

As another younger Gen Z (2005) I agree with everything as well, especially form the position of one who saw porn at way too young an age and now I have to deal with an addiction- one that I am almost done with, but one that I have suffered with since I was at least 12

[@somersetcace1]

It seems like every generation challenges the status quo of the generation before it and then ends up realizing there's a reason that status quo exists. I'm a first year Gen X. I watched the Boomers as a kid go through the same thing in their own way. Sex, drugs and Rock and Roll gave way to "Just say no." My generation grew up in the middle of the AIDS epidemic, so we were a little subdued because of that, but Millennials came along and went through the same growing pains. What's different about Gen Z, is that they got to that point a lot quicker. I believe, not just `social media' but online life in general contributed to that. The major difference between when I was kid and now, is the internet. There's no doubt about it. Just me posting this comment, even if no one reads it, is night and day over what was possible when I was 20. It has proven itself to be an incredibly sharp double edged sword.

[@victorcates9330]

The concern would be if the lack of action was a corollary of anxiety disorders, or that you'll have broader social effects like observed in Japan with hikikomori and soshoku danshi. The concern from older people is that gen z are - rather than dealing in conformity/rebellion or conservatism/liberalism - demonstrating large-scale dysfunction.

[@shaunsteele6926]

We look at each other with desire again and we lost our wandering eyes. Neither of us cheated, but the willingness to drool over others caused friction, not to mention the side effect of a dead bedroom.

I'm a millennial and I can still recall my friends suddenly being obsessed with having sex and their first time and all that crap and asking me when I was going to find someone and 'do that'. And me calmly telling them that my interest is not in sex, but in finding a partner. And if someone's focus is sex they would not be the right person for me. I waited until I was 27 and am still with the same man today at 41. It wasn't a specific religious principle or fear that necessarily made me feel the way I did. Rather, it was knowing who I was and how I felt about certain things. A man (person, in general) can come and go at any time of their choosing. The person you can never outrun is yourself. So, I view it as wise to never do something that would knowingly make ME be disappointed in me.

Ended up getting her pregnant (we used condom/birth control) we just happened to be really unlucky, and she was told both her and baby would die in childbirth so we got the abortion.

@@Salibascored with reverence and respect for God on the cross, you choose not to have sex because of your faith and relationship with Christ. In Christianity, God teaches us that sex always opens up unholy and unfortunate soul ties to those you sleep with, and at times there are unclean spirits that come through sex through an unbeliever. It's important to choose the right marriage partner who has been cleansed in the blood and has asked God to deliver them of all principalities, and who has thoroughly cut their soul ties and forgiven others before beginning a relationship with them, especially a sexual relationship. Unclean spirits can be transferred through toxic relationships and cause spiritual bondage, this happens most commonly through casual sex. Some people end up wondering why their lives changed for the worse after meeting someone and sleeping with them; that is an example of an unclean spirit being transferred through sex. Women get raped and aside from their mental trauma, they begin to feel like an entity has taken over the identity wheel in their life, they lose all control and don't recognize themselves even though they had it together before. This is another example of unclean spirits being transferred from a rapxst (a rapxst has obviously lost control of their life due to principality spirits, just as an example, these unclean spirits may enter due to watching porn and using weed.) forcefully put into a victim through rape (rape is considered to be sexual witchcraft), and the victim suffers spiritually and is scared they have gone mentally insane due to their identity being erased by the unclean spirit. Some rape victims without knowing it, begin to take on the same unholy activities as their rapist did due to the transfer of an unclean spirit, except it will be worse than if their rapist did weed and porn; the rape victim may become hypersexual because of the hurt & may begin a lifestyle of hard drugs, even though they had a detailed, organized, and put-together life before. This is an example of how an unclean spirit enters a man through portals (weed and porn usage), if the man ends up committing sexual witchcraft, the unclean spirit enters the rape victim and she becomes hypersexual (a coping mechanism to get control back), then all the people she casually sleeps thereafter will have the unclean spirit enter them, and possibly make their productivity go down, and they feel like their life has been changed for the worse ("I haven't been the same since I slept with that random girl, my productivity is gone, it left with her"). Be MINDFUL of unclean spirits if you meet a woman who admits she has been raped, she may need deliverance ministry, so be considerate of her spiritual state; unclean spirits will ruin your life and change your identity, this is what happens to rape victims. Unclean spirits change your identity, usually into the person who transferred it into you. The transfer can happen through the deceit of an enemy that you believed, through trauma, sexual witchcraft, sin portals (that you willingly opened like weed and porn), and through casual sex with strangers (human agents influenced by unclean spirits). Some people don't understand the concept of unclean spirits. If a bad taste in the mouth happens around you, then the unclean spirit is the identity change that happens within you; you have an overwhelming fear that you are not the person you were before and you'll never get that identity back. This unclean spirit is just an illusion projected over the poor victim & can just be removed with deliverance ministry in Jesus Christ. HIS blood was emptied and poured out in full representing the forgiveness Jesus has toward us, and HIS blood has the power to separate us from principality spirits that were forced upon us, or we opened ourselves up to willingly. And because HE forgave us much, we are healed and delivered in Jesus. Through HIS example, we are able to forgive/love our enemies the way Jesus did, so they can get delivered and separated from principality spirits as well! Going down with the principality spirits is not worth going to hell for! Especially when Jesus, YAHSHUA paid the bride price with HIS life to separate us from them! Amen.

@@Salibascored I'm a Christian. Sex was part of God's good creation. Nowhere does the Bible portrays sexuality itself as sinful or dirty. We have no reason to feel guilty about our sexual drives. Second, the Bible commands self-control (1 Corinthians 9:24-27; 2 Peter 1:6). Don't let the desires of your flesh overcome you but overcome the desires of your flesh with discipline and wisdom. And that is applicable for everything. To make it short, discipline your mind. When you stop focusing on God, there comes sinful thoughts that lead to sin. It's not easy.

I find myself in a pretty interesting spot on the always-present "generation war". I myself am a older Gen Z, and I was raised quite traditionally by boomer parents who were also raised very traditionally. So the value of family, integrity, responsibility, honor, humility, and duty runs pretty deep, along with a dash of chivalry, courtesy of my mom. That all under the teachings of the Lord. So more often than not I find myself at odds with Gen Z *and* Millenials, because I'm kind of a boomer soul, to the point I can't physically keep on with most trends, I'm always behind or out of the loop, and at some point I stopped trying to.

I'm the same age as you Brett and I'm finding the whole dating/sex/relationship thing so exhausting. Most of my friends participate in hook up culture and every guy I meet or talk to, it just feels like the whole attitude is focused on sex. I don't know where I can just meet a guy and get to know him, go on a date, etc. I don't have an issue with sex but I don't want to be sleeping around, hooking up meaninglessly, but it doesn't seem possible to find anything real anymore. Even just a few years ago it wasn't this bad - granted, I was still in high school then and while there's a lot of meaningless sex there, everyone's a bit younger and most people aren't super experienced so it seemed to trend closer to casual dating and relationships before sex got involved. Where do I have to go to just meet a normal guy - nowadays dating apps are for sex, going to bars is for sex, nightclubs, parties, etc. etc. etc. It's too much and it's going to leave our whole generation so deeply scarred in years to come.

[@jonathandevereaux298]

Dating apps aren't just for sex, you just have to advertise yourself for what you want. People who show a lot of skin are sending the message they're looking for sex even if it's not intended.

I'm an older millennial. I think the view/perspective of Boomers and even Gen-X is a bit romanticized. My generation and the ones before mine were hooking up, it was that social media wasn't around. People, especially women were much more discreet. Also, dating apps weren't a thing until my late 20s. The swipe phenomenon further commodified the dating market. As it pertains to adult entertainment, that's more of an issue of both technology(access) and premium television going away from soft core. When I was in my teens(90s), we had shows like Red Shoe Diaries and Love Street. They showed nudity and sex but no genitals. It was much more romantic, had simple plots and introspection from the characters. Even Matt LeBlanc was on the first season of Red Shoe Diaries before he got the role on Friends. In film and television a "graphic" sex scene can add to the story and plot, look at Basic Instinct and the first season of Game of Thrones. Overall, I think parents need to have more balanced and in-depth conversations about sex with their own respective teens/young adult offspring. Not just whether or not to have sex and when, but to give them the tools to understand the meaning behind their choices to sleep with someone and what their specific actions during sex might mean. Years ago, the porn industry came out with a PSA telling parents to teach their kids about sex before they do.

I can guarantee you as woman that married a man who was also a virgin, I wouldn’t have settled for one that didn’t believe in sex belonging within marriage. Good girls seek strong moral men.

People hear all of this shit day in and day out, they breathe it in directly or indirectly without realizing it. And they compartmentalize the idea that the other gender is thinking the same things that they are and are plotting in accordance. And then we wonder why people are avoiding each other? What else are they going to do when everyone, man or woman, thinks the opposite gender are a bunch of psychopaths out to rip the throat of the opposite gender at any given opportunity.

All the people that I know who didn’t get a driver’s license as soon as they could was wild to me. I got my permit the day I turned 16 and got my license one week after I could have because my family was on vacation at the time. Being able to drive is often therapeutic for me but the people I know who didn’t get there license until they were older often think driving is scary and they have terrible habits when driving.

[@CrownedLily]

I'm 38 and I still don't drive. I grew up in a town where I could walk anywhere I wanted to go. And if it was to far I could take the bus. I got my permit at 16, got behind the wheel of the car and it was very scary and I didn't have desire to get behind it again. Years went by, in my 20's my older brother was hit and killed by a car, and increase my fear/anxiety of driving. But now that I've moved away from my home town and work in a different town and have to rely on rides home from work (My husband drops me off) I've been thinking about getting my license but, it still terrifies me. Knowing I could accidently kill someone - like someone accidently killed my brother - sits so strongly on my mind.

[@anneliesew4853]

I’m 16 and still don’t have my permit yet. I’m actually quite insecure about it because most of my friends drive now.

[@galaxyrapid4234]

​@@CrownedLily That makes sense, losing someone because of a car crash or some kind of car accident is awful. My uncle died in a car crash which made my mom, his sister, take a different outlook on driving. I was always taught that getting behind the wheel of a car is very similar to handling a firearm, one mistake can take lives. So, I drive very responsibly and take stock on my surroundings often while driving. The reason that I said it was strange to me when people didn't get there licenses at 16 is more based on my area, there are almost no options for public transit so people have uber, lyft or hope they can get a ride from a friend or a coworker. We really don't have much option and most places are beyond reasonable walking distance away, plus the main roads weren't exactly built with pedestrians in mind.

My comment wasn't made to say that all 16 year olds should get there licenses right away more that the people I know didn't get them for years some not even to now, 6 years later (wow I'm getting old). Basically don't feel bad that you don't have it but understand that it is a freedom and a privilege, but it's also a big responsibility and it can be stressful. Waiting because of obligations makes sense in fact I might recommend not taking your actual test until warmer months depending where you are because something I struggled with a lot at first was ice, it's super hard to see and often times if you try to correct on ice it's to late. Warmer months are also better because the road is warmer, which allows for better grip from your tires on the road.

The issue is that the pendulum swung from "these things are taboo", to "you can include these things if you have a good reason", to "you can include these things just because you want to", to "if you don't include these things you're a prude". It's the same basic pendulum overswing that afflicts every aspect of our culture.

Brett, one facet you didn't mention is the decreasing hormonal sex drive in young men in recent years as well.

Yeah, there's a significant social aspect but I think the physical health aspect is important, too. It's the same reason why so many women have fertility issues.
