NEW YORK (AP) — The first years of the pandemic saw a huge decline in high school students having sex, according to a government survey.

Teen sex was already becoming less and less common before COVID-19.

About three decades ago, more than half of teens said they’d had sex, according to a large government survey conducted every two years. By 2019, the share was 38%. In 2021, 30% of teens said they had ever had sex. That drop was the sharpest ever recorded by the survey.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Thursday released reports analyzing the latest findings from the survey that looks into risky youth behaviors, including smoking, drinking, having sex and carrying guns.

More than 17,000 students at 152 public and private high schools responded to the 2021 survey. Participation was voluntary and required parental permission, but responses were anonymous.

The CDC also noted declines in students who said they were currently having sex or who’d had at least four sex partners.

It's because they don't know what gender anyone is.

They used to send those out to us about sex and drugs.

I always figured it was a trick to get me to tell on myself when I was in school, so I just lied.

This same trend has been going on in young adults too for 15+ years.

My high school was full of a bunch of rabbits, and we were free range. This was the 90's though.

Distance learning made it hard for teachers to pick up on them.

This would be less concerning if it were due to their esteemed value of chastity- rather than the epidemic of mental and emotional stability decline in society.

The Gen Z'ers I know barely socialize period. They are hermits with screens in their hands.

As a father of a daughter, I'm just perfectly fine with this.
