Body + Soul - The one sex act Gen Zs are giving up
Forget third base, the game has officially changed track with the Body+Soul 2024 Sex Census revealing that Gen Zs are dropping the ball on this one sex act. So we brought in an expert to give us a play-by-play on what’s not going on beneath the sheets.
It’s 2024 and the sexual script has finally been thrown out the window, according to relationship and intimacy coach Susie Kim, who tells Body+Soul that Gen Z has changed the way people are doing it.
“What I’ve been noticing in my work and life is that there is more of an emphasis on the self,” she says, “and what I’ve noticed is that there’s a new generational trend where there’s less pressure and less of a rush to have sex.”
Which was not the case for millennials, the sexpert points out. “In that generation, there was this feeling of, ‘can't wait, must lose my virginity’. Whereas now I don’t think there is as much of a rush and it’s not as important a milestone in comparison to previous generations.”
