Last week on hacker news we had a headline stating young people are having less sex than ever. And people were right, a lot of youngsters are afraid of all the overblown drama. Is kissing sexual harassment? Sexting? Having sex without written consent?

Non-trivial jerky behavior is completely contextual on a per community basis, and a government could not and should not act on that. Out of scope.




Your hypothesis is it’s because of government regulations. I doubt it. It probably has a lot more to do with the smart device in their pocket. Sex is a form of entertainment and all forms of entertainment are struggling for our attention. Also services like OnlyFans are encouraging women to monetize their sexuality and young men tend to be cash poor. That’s my hypothesis anyway.
