The Sexual Frustration of Gen Z: 'Home-Blocked'

The living situation of Generation Z, particularly the high number of young people living with their parents, is negatively impacting their sex lives, according to Bumble's 2023 Sex Index. This phenomenon, known as "home-blocking," is hindering their ability to engage in sexual experimentation and intimacy due to the lack of privacy and fear of being heard or interrupted. The financial strain and rising cost of living are driving more Gen Zers to stay at home longer, further impacting their sex lives.
