## Resource

Dave Rubin of "The Rubin Report" talks to Dr. Debra Soh about her new book Sextinction; the "sex recession" and why Gen Z is having less sex despite hookup culture and social media; how pornography, dating apps, and "Instagram culture" are reducing real-life intimacy, body image, and relationship satisfaction; research on declining libido and testosterone and how modern culture is reshaping sexuality; rising anxiety, poor communication skills, and COVID-era isolation impacting dating; concerns about early porn exposure shaping expectations and risky behaviors; her own experience with a sex robot that looked like her twin; the rise of AI relationships and sex robots replacing human intimacy; how customizable AI partners and tech convenience are pulling people away from real-world connection; and the psychological and biological limits of replacing human relationships with technology, and much more.
