Recent research also shows that, overall, millennials \u2014 people born between the early 1980s and 2000 \u2014 have fewer sexual partners than baby boomers and those in Generation X, the group immediately preceding them.<\/em><\/p>\n

Granted, the vast majority of young adults are still having sex, but an increasing number of them appear to be standing on the sidelines.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Great article but my God, the comments on this article are completely toxic. Every assumption Gen Xers have about Millennials is rampant here. Let\u2019s assume the 1,000 comments on this article aren\u2019t representative for everyone in America over 40 because you\u2019d think a war is brewing between two generations.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t make fun of them for being attached to technology, transgender, expressive, artistic and hipsters. You\u2019re going to need them one day to look out for your best interests.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"via The Washington Post: Recent research also shows that, overall, millennials \u2014 people born between the early 1980s…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"advanced_seo_description":"","jetpack_seo_html_title":"","jetpack_seo_noindex":false,"jetpack_seo_schema_type":"","apple_news_api_created_at":"2016-12-13T19:30:02Z","apple_news_api_id":"e4d14600-b253-4b91-89f8-5c159678ff08","apple_news_api_modified_at":"2016-12-13T19:30:02Z","apple_news_api_revision":"AAAAAAAAAAD\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/w==","apple_news_api_share_url":"https:\/\/apple.news\/A5NFGALJTS5GJ-FwVlnj_CA","apple_news_cover_media_provider":"image","apple_news_coverimage":0,"apple_news_coverimage_caption":"","apple_news_cover_video_id":0,"apple_news_cover_video_url":"","apple_news_cover_embedwebvideo_url":"","apple_news_is_hidden":"","apple_news_is_paid":"","apple_news_is_preview":"","apple_news_is_sponsored":"","apple_news_maturity_rating":"","apple_news_metadata":"\"\"","apple_news_pullquote":"","apple_news_pullquote_position":"","apple_news_slug":"","apple_news_sections":[],"apple_news_suppress_video_url":false,"apple_news_use_image_component":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"csco_singular_sidebar":"","csco_page_header_type":"","csco_custom_appearance":"","csco_disable_excerpt_posts_layout":false,"csco_page_load_nextpost":"","csco_post_video_location":[],"csco_post_video_location_hash":"","csco_post_video_url":"","csco_post_video_bg_start_time":0,"csco_post_video_bg_end_time":0,"_jetpack_hide_featured_image":false,"_jetpack_featured_image_duplicate_dismissed":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6426","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","category-linked","cs-entry","cs-video-wrap"],"apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pb3IC4-1FE","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":6273,"url":"https:\/\/adamchandler.me\/blog\/2016\/11\/04\/linked-did-millennials-ruin-the-olympics\/","url_meta":{"origin":6426,"position":0},"title":"Linked: “Did Millennials Ruin the Olympics?”","author":"Adam Chandler","date":"November 4, 2016","format":false,"excerpt":"via Gizmodo: Really, it\u2019s NBC\u2019s job to adapt its programming to fit the current zeitgeist.
