Dating today is broken. Online platforms dominate modern romance, but instead of creating meaningful connections, they’re fueling loneliness, anxiety, and even suicidal thoughts. One study finds that in the world of dating apps, physical attractiveness outweighs all other traits, leaving users to feel disposable and dehumanized.
While some turn to “offline dating” apps that promise organic encounters, these often feel clunky, elitist, or just as emotionally exhausting.
At the same time, new research reveals a powerful link between sexual activity and mental health. A study of nearly 15,000 Americans found that people who have sex once or twice a week are 24% less likely to experience depression.
Even less frequent sex still offers similar benefits. The findings held across all ages, races, and income levels, with younger and uninsured individuals showing the most significant mental health boosts.
Scientists aren't sure whether sex reduces depression or if better mental health leads to more sex — but either way, the connection is strong.
In a culture increasingly dominated by swipes and superficiality, the path to emotional wellness might not be in finding the “perfect match” — but in seeking real, reciprocal intimacy beyond the screen.
