Gen X, the generation once accused of being too skeptical of anything communal, is apparently more open to polyamory than the kids who invented “situationships.”

A new report from Sister Wives, a dating site for polyamorous and polygamous relationships, analyzed data from more than 18,000 users and found that millennials and Gen X made up the largest share of those exploring multiple-partner relationships. Millennials ages 35 to 44 dominated the site with 38 percent of users, while Gen X accounted for about 21 percent. Gen Z? Just 5.5 percent, the smallest group after seniors.

    Gotta love these articles where they lump an entire generation together as all having the same behaviors or beliefs. 🙄

      It… doesn’t. It’s debating a stereotype that the younger generation is more promiscuous, based on age demographic statistics from a website, and quotes three experts.

        I really don’t think being “gen z” or “millennial” or “gen x” has anything to do with promiscuity or polyamory. Lumping people into these arbitrary age groups/labels reminds me of Astrology.
