    Pleasantville as well. Kids are too insecure to express themselves with the whole world watching, and are more sexually repressed. And that suuuuuuuucks.

        The way I’ve heard it, masturbation is on the rise and sex is on the decline. Characteristics of grooming are on the rise. And that suuuuuuucks

        Actually sexual activity among teens and people well into their 20s (Alpha and Zoomers) is down drastically compared to previous generations.

        It’s an oft-cited reason for concern with regard to social alienation and overall loss of community by the social science academies.

          Likely just the world hitting it’s carrying capacity of humans. Similar things happen in other ecosystems. Nah, not Malthusian BS, just thermogoddamics.
