The trend have been long established before the pandemic was a thing, and although I do think that that the reduction in economic prospects have affected it, that should be somewhat offset with what I have previously stated, which is an increasing predilection for sexual promiscuity in our culture while enabled by greater access via dating apps. The fact that the reverse is happening, that in fact the rate of teenage hookups have dramatically fallen, is, in my mind, an affirmation for the disastrous effects that massively distributed pornography has played in our romantic culture, substituting the drive for romantic courtship and promoting anti social activities.

And anyways, what does reducing pressures on teens to have sex as early as possible (which I whole heartily agree with) have to do with the facts that we were discussing anyways?
