“This generation rarely considers using protection because they came of age at a time when sex education in school did not exist, HIV was virtually unheard of, and their main concern in seeking protection was to avoid pregnancy,” Janie Steckenrider, associate professor of political science at Loyola Marymount University and lead author of the study, writes.
Steckenrider added that older adults might be encouraged to participate in “the hook-up culture of casual encounters and condomless sex” by the use of dating apps and the availability of drugs for sexual dysfunction.
