Carolyn, what do you think?
3:54
Yeah, the interesting thing is every generation has seen a decline in the amount of sex that they're having as a young person.
4:02
And I think what that tells me is whatever our sort of persistent message has been, something's wrong with that.
4:11
What we've done is change the incentives around sex and responsibility, and specifically responsibility from men.
4:23
The advent of birth control and the normalization of sex outside of marriage made there much less reason for men to feel obligated to women to stay in a married relationship.
4:39
So women might have had more control over what happens if sex happens, uh, but if they can't find a partner, they're expo- exposed to more physical safety risks because men are less invested in the conversation.
4:54
They're faced with economic risk if they get pregnant, they can't terminate the child or don't want to, and then have to support the child on their own.
