A recent study found American adults between the ages of 18 and 23 are having 14% less “casual sex” than people their age a decade ago. There’s also plenty of Gen Zers that are opting out of sex completely. Here are some reasons these voluntarily celibate - AKA volcels - folks gave VICE for their reason why.
● Self-Esteem. Just because there’s more acceptance in the world doesn’t make Gen Z immune to body issues. Take 24-year-old Kero for example. She chose to take herself off the market three years ago due to a lack of self-esteem. She’s only just now starting to consider sex again but this time around she “only wants to be with a man who has earned [her] trust, who worships the ground [she] walks on, who honors and respects [her].”
