More and more people are alone -- they have chosen not to marry, not to have a partner, to subsist on occasional sex-capades, and to remain -- in effect -- celibate!
Some of the Baby Boomer crowd become "cat people" (crazy old ladies with cats or crazy old men with cats/dogs); some just drift into a solipsistic kind of lifestyle. Some of the younger (men and women in their late 20's or early 30's) just get frustrated by the burned-out dating pool existent nowadays and deem themselves asexual, or non-functioning sexual, or "alone by choice;" some others actually live with someone -- apparently to have an excuse to kvetch and carp, or to remain alone while together, or to simply wait for "make-up sex" (see sex-capades above).
The only group still "doing it" are high schoolers (where the "drama" fits their lifestyles) or senior citizens (after all, who can stop them now?).
What's wrong with sex? What's wrong with us? Are relationships that impossible to maintain? (No wonder birth rates are falling in the US!)
