Playboy recently revisited its 1983 sex questionnaire, this time focusing on Generation Z, and discovered some unexpected trends. The survey revealed that fewer Gen Z individuals are engaging in sexual activities or even masturbation compared to previous generations. The reasons cited for this decline include the pervasive influence of pornography, heightened anxiety levels, and financial struggles. These factors seem to be shaping the sexual behaviors and attitudes of young people today, marking a significant shift from past generations. The findings highlight how modern challenges and digital influences are impacting personal and intimate aspects of life for Gen Z.
