The Sex Recession

Adam Gopnik argues that there's no need to panic about the much-discussed sex recession in the US.

"In all things erotic", writes Adam Gopnik, "morals and manners run at right angles to each other".

Adam argues that the much discussed "sex recession" in the US is primarily a question of misunderstanding between generations - and is certainly not a cause for moral panic!

"We misread the sex because the signs change, and we misread the signs to mean that the sex is changing...or even that the sex is vanishing".
