---

---

Ryan Burge discusses his most-read research post of the year. Every age group is having less sex than they were a generation ago. Not only has sexual behavior declined among young people, but it has also declined among Evangelicals and other religious groups. What are the implications for the church? How should pastors address this reality, if at all?

• • Marriage rates are falling.
  • People are starting families later.
  • Couples are having fewer children.
  • Biological growth is not as likely in the church as in the past.
  • Are smartphones to blame?
