It seems like millennials are avoiding partying in general. Alcohol is a factor in a lot of casual sex. Hell, my family got started because two otherwise unattractive people who previously hated each other realized they liked to get drunk on cheap wine and play with each others' naughty bits. A baby was conceived and a family was started out of guilt. Alcohol plays a big role in breaking down people's inhibitions and insecurities. Now that the combination of alcohol and sex are considered verboten, you lose one of the most effective aphrodisiacs and social lubricants.
I'm curious if whatever is behind our lowering sperm counts is also playing a role in this.
Given the experience of my fiancee, a millennial who gave up on guys her own age, it seems like the guys who are sexually active(i.e. the ones not stuck on video games and smoking weed), are creeps and philanderers. Hook-up apps and technologically fueled cheating have definitely reduced the mystique behind committed, monogamous relationships among kids these days.
Also, title is misspelled. Two n's in millennials.

The Metoo stuff...actually this has been bubbling long before as a general feature of puritanical 3rd wave feminism really has put a damper on things, not just through direct fear instilled into men but generally moving the overton window of sex in society's subconscious.
