Why Are We Having Less Sex?

Scott Galloway speaks with neuroscientist and author Debra Soh about why young people are having less sex, and what that decline reveals about intimacy, loneliness, and human connection.

They also discuss how dating apps have turned romance into a winner-take-all market, how pornography and AI offer frictionless substitutes for relationships, and why growing resentment between men and women is making it harder to find lasting love.
