Carter Sherman (on the sex recession) | Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard

Carter Sherman (The Second Coming: Sex and the Next Generation's Fight Over Its Future) is an Emmy Award-nominated reporter covering reproductive health and justice. Carter joins the Armchair Expert to discuss being a nosy babysitter, writing an early piece on the sex lives of millennial girls, and covering reproductive health during the 2024 election. Carter and Dax talk about her explanation behind the trend of elective celibacy, how she was able to elicit honest feedback from young people about their sex lives, and the societal consequences of exclusively abstinence-only sex education. Carter explains why we need a study that tracks how political affiliation correlates to faked orgasms, that Me Too wasn’t likely the direct cause of the sex recession, and whether or not we should want younger generations to have more sex.
