Many single men and women (22-35ish) have moved home to live with their parents due to economic circumstances, which certainly can't be ideal for a healthy dating life. So with jobs hard to find and student loan debt at all time highs, do you think these circumstances are leading to less overall sex?

It has to be extra tough for guys. First of all you need a woman who's willing to sleep with a guy who lives at home, then you need parents that are cool with that.

Yes, this is probably true. Along the same lines, it has been studied and acknowledged that wealthy people have better sex than people who aren't.

People will be looking for the old cars with backseats like a sofa. Hard to get it on in new cars and trucks.

Think mid-80s Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham.

I personally doubt it. Sex is sex. Through the ages, it has never lost its fascination. Poor or not, people do seem to wind up having sex, one way or another. I'd put money down that even that jalopy in The Grapes of Wrath was rockin' once in a while (Steinbeck just didn't mention those parts).

No, I do not feel a poorer overall economy means less sex overall.

You go to a motel, or her place if it is feasible.

Motels don't cost that much. If an adult that lives at home with mommy and daddy can't afford a motel once in a while then I do not know what to say.

Agree that a guy will have a tough time finding a GF if he is broke and living with his parents. It's probably next to impossible.

First, the guy living with his parents must find a woman willing to date him, or lie about his living situation. That's the hard part.

Even a guy who's on his own might find the cost of wooing a woman to the point of sex to be a bit more than he's able to handle at this time. A couple of relatively inexpensive dates can easily become quite costly after factoring in high gas prices and other logistical expenditures.

If she only loves you for your money, she's not worth the trouble. Send her down the road with can of PBR and a Twinkie. Make sure to tell her that can of ice cold PBR came out of the garage icebox with nightcrawlers before she goes packing!
