Title: New Yorkers these days aren’t having much sex

We’re the city that never sleeps­ . . . with anyone.

Big Apple denizens have gone from the digital age back to the Victorian era when it comes to sex, with more adults — even young ones — remaining abstinent, a Post analysis of city Health Department data shows.

Nearly a third of all of the city’s adults said they had not had intercourse or oral sex in a year, according to the latest 2014 statistics.

That was the highest number since 2002, when the department first started keeping public records on the question.

The “Sexless & and City’’ number was even higher — 32.7 percent — among young adults ages 18 to 24, according to the department’s annual Community Health survey.

By comparison, in 2002, 18.4 percent of all city adults said they did not have sex with any partner the previous year. That included 20 percent of young adults ages 18 to 24.

The trend seems counterintuitive during an era of mobile-dating apps and a hookup culture.

But the Internet is a double-edged sword: It creates more impersonal reactions between adults because of an increase in sexting, virtual sex and porn, experts said.

“There have been changes to the social fabric over the past two generations that make people more connected — and more isolated,’’ said Greg Pfundstein of the Chiaroscuro Foundation, a group that promotes abstinence until marriage.

For example, “the advent of Internet porn has an impact,’’ he said.

Abstinence was strongest among city residents of Asian heritage, the health survey showed. Nearly 43 percent of Big Apple Asians said they did not have sex the previous year, 11 points higher than black and Hispanic adults and 14 points higher than whites.

In general in 2014, more women were chaste than men: 35.8 percent of females abstained from sex compared to 24.6 percent of males, the study showed.

Meanwhile, a majority — 57 percent — said they had one sex partner, 5 percent had two partners, and 7 percent had three or more partners.

The trend toward abstinence mirrors a local and national decrease in out-of-wedlock teenage pregnancy and abortions.

“People are behaving more rationally because of concerns over sexually transmitted diseases and out-of-wedlock pregnancies,” Pfundstein noted.

Internet surveys claim that the MTV shows “16 and Pregnant” and “Teen Mom” have particularly served as cautionary tales for today’s youth and actually spurred more responsible and healthier romantic relationships.

Huh.

“The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out... without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane, intolerable.” ~ H. L. Mencken

Huh.

Asians now set the trends, not Europeans.

It's great news if New Yorkers are breeding less (wish they were all conservative like you). Great news. But I wonder if this applies to the hispanics making up a majority of the population now. Supposedly they embody "family values" more than anybody since Ozzie and Harriet.

Having a culture saturated with immoral trash like Sex and the City is a great way to kill love.

For you the good news is that New Yorkers have stopped breeding. Black birth rate is way down while Asian birth rate is the highest in the city--age is probably the main factor.

The poor areas are outbreeding the rich.

As someone observed, God must love poor people; He made so many of them...
