How Social Media Is Fueling Gen Z’s Sex Recession

wired.com Manisha Krishnan 2025-07-26 01:00:00

As a teenager growing up in Seattle, Carter Sherman was “pathologically obsessed” with the fact that she was still a virgin. In her new book The Second Coming: Sex and the Next Generation's Fight Over Its Future, which chronicles Gen Z’s sex lives (or lack thereof), Sherman describes having a meltdown after one of her best friends has sex with their classmate, making her feel left behind. “I fully broke down crying in front of my mom,” she tells me when I bring up the incident.

Get the macOS Finder to Do Just About Anything by Typing Natural Language Commands

I'm genuinely not sure if large language models—often referred to as “AI” in shorthand—are the future of computing. But I also don't think chatbots are how people will use this technology in the years to come. Substage, an indie Mac application by developer Joseph Humfrey, is a simple app that points to a potential alternative—one that's useful right now.

Superman is a box office hit, but the hard part comes next

Over the weekend, DC Studios’ new Superman feature became this year’s third-biggest box-office debut in the US. The movie’s success is a sign that theatergoers might actually not be quite as tired of superheroes as people tend to think, and that’s particularly notable for Warner Bros., given the studio’s plan to build a new cinematic universe of DC Comics adaptations for the big screen.

But in our latest crack at the Kryptonian whip in James Gunn’s Superman, Jor-El and Lara Lor-Van play a brief, but fundamental role in the movie. Casting the role for Gunn was crucial, not just because of the character’s legacy—but because he wanted to buck a trend from other live-action Superman films.
