Here's why Americans are 'doing it' less

  • 7 years ago
Apparently, this is not where CNN reported findings from the Archives of Sexual Behavior that claimed Americans were 'doing it' less in the early 2010s compared to the 90s. Psychologists pointed to two theories: 'The parenting effect' and 'the Tinder effect.' The parenting effect is explained by parents whose schedules revolve around family duties, primarily tending to the needs of their kids, which creates less desire for sex. "We're seeing more helicopter parenting, which is zapping energy that could go toward sex and other sensual activities." Eric Marlowe Garrison, a certified sexuality counselor The Tinder effect looks at how technology and dating apps reduce sexual desire. I see more and more couples looking at their respective phones while they're together. "This reduced conversation and attention for each other can't be good." Marty Klein, author and certified sex therapist. No matter what the findings suggest, a healthy sex life is whatever makes you and your partner comfortable.
