They are the generation that grew up with online dating apps such as Tinder, Bumble and social media at their fingertips.
But despite all that, a study has revealed Gen Z is in a sex recession.
To understand how young adults are navigating sex, dating and relationships today, researchers surveyed 2,373 adults aged 18 to 29.
They found that this age group, which includes Gen Z, reported low levels of sexual activity – despite a moderate to high sex drive.
The survey said 29 per cent had zero partners in the last three months and 19 per cent had never had a partner at all.
One 25-year-old man told the researchers, who worked in collaboration with Playboy: ‘People my age are having less sex because they are meeting less people in person.’
Another added: ‘It’s hard to hook up with someone if you’re too scared to even talk to anyone.’
Instead, many said their intimacy needs are already being met – through social media and artificial intelligence (AI) companions.
