Gen Zers and Millennials would be willing to forgo sex if it meant achieving one massive life goal.


Gen Zers and Millennials would be willing to go celibate if it meant achieving one massive life goal.

According to a recent study, a quarter of Gen Z would be willing to forgo sex for a year if it meant they would have enough money to put down a deposit on a home.

More Millennials were willing to do so, with a third of that generation happy to go celibate for 12 months if it meant getting the keys to their own home at the end of it.

That’s according to audio erotica platform Bloom Stories, which surveyed more than 2,000 UK adults to find out what people are willing to give up sex, the New York Post reported.

No hanky panky in here for 12 months and it’s yours at the end of it.


Half of adults in this generation would give up sex if affording a home was the end result.

This comes as the majority of Gen Z adults (60 per cent) worry they might never own a home, according to a survey conducted by Clever Real Estate.

But homeownership isn’t the only thing that Gen Z would trade sex for.

About a third of Gen Z would stop having sex for a pay rise at work, while just over a quarter would abstain if it meant getting a promotion.

Previous reports have shown that Gen Z is less interested in sex in general and also in a more precarious financial situation than older generations.

But Millennials were even more interested in being celibate to gain upward mobility.

About 32 per cent of adults aged 35 to 44 would choose to remain sexually active over a house deposit, pay rise or promotion.

Older adults reported being more interested in continuing their active sex lives than furthering themselves financially or in their careers.

Of those 45 and older, just under half would choose to have sex rather than buy a home.

When looking at adults of all ages, there was a gender divide.

Men were much more likely to refuse to give up sex. Forty-Five per cent of men said they couldn’t live without intercourse for a year regardless of the reason — and only 23 per cent of women agreed.
