A new study on generational attitudes toward sex found that twenty-something millennials are having far less sex than their baby boomer parents had at the same age.
Jean Twenge, author of the study Changes in American Adults’ Sexual Behavior and Attitudes and Jeffrey Arnett, author of Adolescence and Emerging Adulthood share how attitudes about sex are changing and why millennials are choosing to have fewer sexual partners and less sex in general than previous generations.
