Commenters push back on 'Gen Z hates sex' narrative

Original: tbh the whole "gen z hates sex" thing is overblown like i don't think it's unreasonable for a generation who grew up wit

The writer says it is understandable for a generation shaped by the #MeToo movement, the Harvey Weinstein scandals, and the hyper-sexualized 'heroin chic' culture of the 2000s to approach sex with caution rather than rejection. Others are debating whether shifting attitudes reflect prudishness or a rational response to that history.

Why now: Debate over Gen Z's attitudes toward sex and intimacy keeps resurfacing as generational think pieces circulate online.
