Dr. Debra Soh, neuroscientist, noted sex researcher, and author of the “exceptional” (The Times, London) The End of Gender, reports on the hidden crisis of a sudden decline of sexual activity.

There’s a strange paradox in today’s developed world: society has never been more sexualized, but people across all age groups and demographics are having less sex than ever before. And nobody seems to know why or what to do about it.

The “fearless” (Eric R Weinstein, PhD, host of The Portal) Dr. Debra Soh leaves no stone unturned as she searches for science-backed answers. She takes us on a roller-coaster journey through ideological debates, new technological frontiers, and modern dating to understand the whys and hows of this issue.

With an expert and impartial eye, Soh examines these evolving and controversial developments and colors her findings with anecdotes from her personal research. Compulsively readable and groundbreaking, Sextinction upends the conventional wisdom surrounding sex, skewering pieties held by the right and left alike, and looks to the future of sexuality.

This book by Dr. Soh was such an interesting dive into the modern world around sex and coupling and how both are in full decline. All the different moving parts that are involved was so easy to relate to in a sense with how the dating field and modern relationships are playing out, societal expectations and the how and why to these issues. This book was a refreshing take but at times felt hopeless, though I’m glad it ended with a hopeful reminder that we have the ability to take steps into changing and creating a sex positive relationship with our significant other. I could definitely re-read this book again if i get the chance as i felt i missed so many details and cool little facts throughout the first listen. Thank you Dr. Debra Soh, this was amazing research
