It's such a major liability to have sex with a girl, impregnate them, be stuck with a kid all while job prospects suck too. I say this is a side-effect of Millennials forgoing pretty much a lot of comforts that boomers have come to enjoy, like owning a home or owning a car. Austerity in every sense of the word. Also, as a male millennial, I can honestly say that the climate to be promiscuous has never been less inviting.

"has never been less inviting" how so? I'd say the climate was unusually inviting from about 1965 to the early eighties. Then the AIDS panic started. Eddie Murphy (I think) even had a routine about how eventually there would be a disease where you just stick your dick in and it explodes. We were legitimately terrified. I'm assuming it's for different reasons...

  I'm talking more about feminists and the "triggered-happy" women of today. Seriously, even offering to buy a woman a drink at a college campus is a risky proposition today. It's no wonder that movements like MGTOW are taking off these days (though I don't see myself as one just to be clear.)

First of all do not take this personal, I am trying to react in general on a whole generation and not blaming them as each generation deals with life they get confronted with. As a generation X person I think that the millennial generation is quite risk averse. You can see this in many fields, from political correctness going over the top, to risk aversion in music and culture, and even when it comes to building relations of which sex is a part. I do not know or try to point why this is but it does stand out from what I see around me. I feel very fortunate to have lived through punk music, squat housing, crazy ass parties and taking risks in my life, it made me stronger minded against what other people think of me and more confident in life.

  > risk aversion in music What do you mean by this? That you haven't heard anything original in music since you were a kid?

  Risk aversion: exactly. Couldn't have stated it better.

You know that you can buy condoms in as many as several different retail establishments, right?
