I'm surprised there was no porn hypothesis: that teen males might be going with a safer and lower-effort substitute for real sex.

  Under the section "The Internet Theory", there is a graph labelled "Sexual Activity of High School Students". The graph shows the percentage teens who have ever been or are currently sexual active and it has stayed near constant (at around 40% and 50% resp., presumably there is some overlap). Whatever theory is proposed, it needs to take into account minimal contraceptive usage and near constant teen sexual activity.

    Seems that they are taking for granted that teenagers today are as fertile as they were 30 years ago. Women are born with all the eggs they will ever have. Maybe somebody should rule out the introduction of a new drug or chemical that may sterilize girls while still in the womb. Maybe in 10 years everybody will be turning up at fertility clinics wondering what's wrong.
