Gen Z is afraid of sex

Sabrina Carpenter has been receiving criticism for being too sexy. Lately, there has been backlash against the cover of her new album, Man's Best Friend, but she was also under fire during her tour for cheekily simulating sex positions while performing her song "Juno." And it looks like some of this criticism is coming from a particular demographic: Generation Z.

While this "puriteen" discourse is probably not representative of how all or even most of Gen Z thinks about sex and sexuality, Gen Z is having less sex than previous generations at the same age. And there are legitimate reasons — many having to do with massive political and cultural changes — as to why some of Gen Z might be afraid of sex.

Brittany Luse discusses why Gen Zers are having less sex, with Tobias Hess, contributing writer for Paper magazine and writer of the Gen Zero Substack, and Carter Sherman, reproductive health and justice reporter at The Guardian and author of The Second Coming: Sex and the Next Generation's Fight Over Its Future.

Sabrina Carpenter is trash. People are making fun of her because she looks ridiculous. She has to be overtly sexy because she can’t sing for shit.

Gen Z is tedious, boring, and vacant. Their reality can only be perceived as it was/is experienced. On screens.

They bleed blue light.

Gen Z IS afraid of sex but that has nothing to do with Sabrina Carpenter. People are just tired of her coquette "look how tiny and small I am" Lolita act. It's tiresome and transparent.

Of course the criticism is coming from Gen Z. Nobody over 25 gives a shit about Sarbina Crapenter.

Depends on Momma being the kind of trash that would have SVU on all day.
