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.
