Maybe you thought that the French were champions of love under the duvet, hang on tight because I have something to share. An Ifop investigation for Lelo just dropped a bomb: It seems that the country of love is in the middle of a “sexual recession.” So, where does it come from and above all, why are we making love less?
Young people, first in the class... in abstinence!
The Shocking Figure in the Study Concerns Young People: More than a Quarter of Them (18-24 Years Old) Admit to Not Having Haven't Had a Naughty Little Hug in a Whole Year. And above all, it seems completely normal for them, since they don't care about it any more. It's as if, suddenly, Making flip-flops had become as old-fashioned as flip phones. This may be a good way to discover why they avoid intimate moments together: in fact, the telephone and screens in general are the main reasons for losing interest.
Netflix and Chill... Without the Chill?
Ah, the eternal dilemma: Spend the Evening Cuddling or Binge-Watching Your Favorite Series ? Well, imagine that for quite a few French people, the choice is quickly made. The screens stop the show from our good old libido. Between an episode of “La Casa de Papel” and a torrid night, the hearts of 50% of men and 42% of women balance... and rather on the side of our favorite series.
Women Prefer to Focus on Other Things
On the women's side, the interest in lovemaking has aged a long way. Only 62% of them still think it is important, compared to 82% in the 90s. To better understand these figures, it should also be noted that asexuality is taking hold, with a good part of the population who Just doesn't feel the need for carnal relationships.
So are the French becoming pros of “Sexless” Long Before the Trend? What is certain is that the days when sex was the king of the party seem to be over. But don't panic, Love has more than one trick up its sleeve and knows how to reinvent itself. Who knows, maybe tomorrow we will discover a new way of vibrating together? And above all, we are all different: if we no longer see the point in sex, we will just find other fun ways to pass the time.
