The Karol Markowicz Show: Why Young People Are Having Less Sex: Dr. Debra Soh on the ‘Sex Recession,’ Dating Apps, Porn, and AI Relationships

Why are millennials and Gen Z having less sex than previous generations? On this episode of The Karol Markowicz Show, neuroscientist and author Dr. Debra Soh joins Karol to discuss the growing “sex recession” and the cultural forces driving it.

Drawing from her new book Sextinction: The Decline of Sex and the Future of Intimacy, Dr. Soh explains how dating apps, social media, pornography, declining testosterone, and loneliness are reshaping modern relationships. She also explores how technology—from AI companions to sex robots—could dramatically change dating, intimacy, and even reproduction in the near future.

Karol and Dr. Soh dive into why young men are increasingly shut out of the dating market, how screens are weakening social skills, and what the long-term consequences could be for society. They also discuss the politicization of science, Dr. Soh’s departure from academia, and practical advice for rebuilding real-world relationships in a digital age.
