About This Quote

Young people are moving away from feeling guilty about sleeping with somebody to feeling guilty if they are *not* sleeping with someone. This quote means that the next generation of young adults is growing up in a time when it isn't acceptable to be single. They are more focused on having sex than on having an actual relationship. According to statistics, that's not entirely true, but there's some truth to the idea that the youth of today are less focused on having a committed relationship than previous generations have been.
