Gen Z is having less sex, and journalist Carter Sherman has spent the last several years interviewing more than 100 teens and 20-somethings about why. Sherman found it’s not because they’re uninterested or don’t have progressive views about sex. Instead, anxieties about the overturning of Roe v. Wade among other attacks on reproductive freedom, coming of age during an isolating pandemic and poor sex education have led many to abstain. Sherman’s new book is “The Second Coming: Sex and the Next Generation’s Fight Over Its Future.” Guests: Carter Sherman, reproductive health and justice reporter, Guardian US; author, “The Second Coming: Sex and the Next Generation’s Fight Over Its Future" Learn more about your ad choices.
