People in this thread are talking a lot about the availability of non-sex ways to spend attention (porn, social media, netflix), and of loosely power-law effects where a small number of men can have a lot of sex because of good looks and money.

What about the other economic factors?

- aren't more young people in living situations with greater sharing and less privacy than 20 years ago?

- given the relative stagnation of wage increases over those intervening years, aren't more young people having to work more hours to keep that room in a shared apartment?

- maybe the crushing stress of student debt is sometimes a turnoff?
