The best answer is how anti depressants which at least 20% of those in the USA take ---- depresses the sex drive for both males and females.

    I'm also going to think the absinence-only education plays a role. I know people in their 20s today who didn't understand: lube, protection, HIV, pregnancy. Some of them were HIV+ before they knew what happened. People are confused and uneducated. Thanks Christians!

    11.4% take anti depressants and between 40-65% experience some degree of sexual dysfunction so even using the highest numbers and assuming that the sexual dysfunction completely eliminates interest in sex (it doesn’t) that would only be 7.41%

    Women are avoiding men. For all sorts of reasons that I think most of you are aware of.

    Women also are feeling like they have the ability to refuse when before they didn't.

    Women are also scared of pregnancy in a way they haven't been since the fecking 1900s.

    Because now, you get pregnant. A doctor will let you die before they will provide medical care if that medical care has any chance of harming a fetus. Even if the fetus is dead.

    Women are dying from pregnancy. Women are no longer able to terminate an early pregnancy safely.

    Women are scared.
