Experts are concerned that the genitalia of the legally-age Gen Z population may shrink as a result of their historically low sex consumption.
According to sex and relationship specialist Dr. Tara Suwinyattichaiporn, who spoke with DailyMail.com,
infrequent sexual activity in males may lead to a rare illness known as penile atrophy, in which the penile tissue becomes less elastic and shrinks by one to two centimeters.
Going without sex for more than a month, she adds, may make both sexes feel more stressed out owing to concerns like sexual dissatisfaction, worry, sadness, and rage.
It may increase the likelihood of adultery and have other negative psychological effects. A survey conducted in 2021 by researchers from California University revealed that 38% of
young adults (those aged 18–30) reported not having had a sexual partner in the last year, despite the beneficial associations with sex.
