Why Record Amounts Of Young People Are Saying No To Marriage AND Sex | Dr. Debra Soh, PhD
Culture Apothecary with Alex Clark
AI companions, sex work, and cultural trends
Debra Soh previews book chapters on AI partners, sex robots, plastic surgery, and the harms of commercialized sex work.
More young people are opting out of marriage — and even sex — than any generation before them.
Dr. Debra Soh, neuroscientist and author of Sextinction, joins me to talk about the quiet collapse no one wants to admit is happening. The women who are having sex say roughness and blurred lines between consent and coercion have become “normal,” while Gen Z calls it empowerment after growing up on pornography. Meanwhile, testosterone is tanking, antidepressant use is soaring, and half of young adults say they probably won’t have kids.
