FAU study suggests younger people have less sex than their parents

Young adults of the'Tinder generation' are having less sex than any generation since the 1920s, a study suggests. Experts have assumed that people born in the 1990s - known as'Millennials' - were more promiscuous than those who came before, due to the availability and popularity of dating apps such as Tinder and Gridr. But scientists at Florida Atlantic University have found that people aged 20 to 24 today are more likely to abstain from sex than any generation for 90 years. Some 15 per cent percent of this age group in the US have had no sexual partners since turning 18, the researchers found. Of those born in the 1960s, only 6 per cent had not had sex when they were at the same age.
