A new study has found out that Millennials are indulging in less sex, contrary to popular belief that they are the most sexually active generation.
According to the study published in the Archive of Sexual Behavior, 15% of Millennials aged 20-24 said they had not had sex since age 18, more than those born in the late 1960s (6 %), 1970s (11 %) or 1980s (12 %).
Millennials, on average, also have lesser sexual partners than both Baby Boomers and Generation X.
"I think a lot of them are watching the adults around them and concluding that sex without limits is not making people happy," particularly "parents with multiple marriages and divorces," Dr. Jennifer Roback Morse from The Ruth Institute told LifeSiteNews.
"The new sexual revolution has apparently left behind a larger segment of the generation than first thought," she observed.
The study also showed that since the 1960s, the number of women women refraining from sexual activities as young adults tripled, while the number of men doubled.
Seconding the findings of the study, Rebecca Oas, a PhD and the associate director of research for the Center for Family and Human Rights (C-Fam), said, "The idea that these kids are 'left behind' by the sexual revolution is quite strange, as if they've somehow been sealed in a bomb shelter and never knew it happened."
"More likely, they've seen that experiment running its course and decided they'd rather learn from someone else's mistakes instead of their own."
Valerie Huber, President and CEO of Ascend, a non-profit sex education advocate group, also found similar results while surveying 18 and 19 years old.
