Young men aren’t having sex!
Nearly a third of men under 30 have not had sex. And a higher percent do not have as much sex as they’d like – not exactly surprising, but this kind of statistic is a sign of much deeper problems.

Our society criminalizes sex & sweeps it under the rug. The consequences are straightforward - there is more violence. Since platforms like Craigslist were banned from advertising sex, serious violent crimes against all women – not just sex workers – has increased by nearly 1/5.
And men who do not have sex suffer – they are less likely to be a part of the labor force, and more likely to experience depression, nihilism, and other mental health issues.
The #MeToo movement accomplished so much, & we have to take the next step – normalizing having healthy, positive, consensual sex. Decriminalizing sex work, funding sex education, & creating outreach programs that help young people develop healthy sexual habits.
We should be moving toward a right to sex. People should be able to have sex when they feel they want to, and we need to develop services that meet people’s needs without attaching the baggage of shame or criminalization.
So let’s talk about sex.
So let’s talk about sex.
We need to bring these discussions to the spotlight. Normalizing healthy positive sex will have too many downstream benefits to list – we need to move past our history of shame. It’s time to bring sex into the light.
