Death, Sex & Money: Why Youre Not Having Sex
The dating app Bumble recently declared in advertisements that \u201ca vow of celibacy is not the answer.\u201d The ad campaign, which was met with a swift backlash, seemed to be responding to a prevailing notion that people are having less sex than they used to. Back in 2015, we asked our listeners why they weren\u2019t having sex, and their reasons varied. Disability, religious beliefs, S.T.I.s, and differing libidos were all cited as factors.\xa0This week, we revisit those stories and reflect on sex and abstinence at a time when those things continue to spark debate.\nDeath, Sex & Money is now produced by Slate!
