Sexual behaviors have changed in the United States over the past 45 years even if many people throughout the world still consider the USA as a place of underage sex, teenage pregnancy, and sexual promiscuity bordering or exceeding the threshold of grotesque.
On average, many young persons under the age of 18 experience sex for the first time before reaching full adulthood. Often around half of US persons under age 18 participate in this behavior with another twenty percent, for seventy percent total experiencing at least one sexual encounter by the age of 19.
This is a huge improvement because, it can be unhealthy to decrease or stop certain biological processes abruptly within a population and the goal being throughout the developed world for increased age of first sexual contact and first pregnancy at full adulthood.
These modern goals for human development take into account increased lifespans to set the threshold of first sexual encounter between 19 and 25, with first child being born around the ages of 26 to 35. While this seems old to a lot of people between the ages of 60 and 80, it allows for two healthy children before age 40. The result is most often that the child has an increased likelyhood of having more logical behaviors and a more calm demeanor. This family planning selection would place the majority of children, who would then be adults, at around the age of 45 to 50 when their parents reach 85.
This also achieves several goals for both reducing overpopulation and increasing the sustained birth rate in developed nations because it achieves the desired results for many complex issues with lifespan and human development. A goal of having a more analytical and calm population, is that a requirement to build cities of 40 to 60 million becomes achievable and less chaotic.
Currently, the population in Western Europe and the Americas is 1.5 billion people with Europe being divided over near proximity and cost of transportation and travel across the Atlantic Ocean.
This European health data is often covered by medical privacy rights and accessible based on specific demographic characteristics and migration opportunities via the EU Council.
People in the Americas often have lineages or health data going back 500 to 600 years and are based on environmental factors such as water quality, diet, Earth processes, and migration patterns that affect genetic proximity to other families in the Americas. This data is often not shared with people that are not joining or merging with a specific family.
Some other populous areas might include China, India, and Africa as a region with a shared ocean that would have a population of approximately 4 billion inhabitants.
Like most other regions, they would not be sharing genetic data outside of family forming and merging or for internationally compliant medical procedures.
Its worth noting that Africa might have several venn diagrams including Africa and the Middle East or Africa and Brazil; both of which may no longer be valid or viable in a modern context but that have existed in the past and that would require mutual consent based on international agreements and analysis made recently.
In Western Europe and the Americas, our world, to many people the largest cities are London, New York, Los Angeles, and Texas Metroplex each averaging around 10 million people in a geographical area with about 1.5 billion people. There are large cities in Latin America that will be discussed later. Safety is a concern as a top priority as well as language cohesion, non-infringement, and 0 trespassing on private or ancestral lands.
The goal with LNYLAT is that if each of the 4 cities can reach a healthy and sustainable population capacity of 40 million people, that would allow 160 million to live within a major metropolis as urban evolved humans. With 60 million people per city, a feat that seems to be at the limits or slightly beyond the limits of current human advancement, that would allow 240 million out of 1,500 million to live in urban areas.
The updated sexual health data is important to achieve these goals, because it may soon be necessary to plan out human conditions in one and half census periods at a time, considering each census period traditionally lasts 10 years in the USA but can be every 25 years in many areas.
When talking about sexual health, people are often times concerned with other peoples numbers and curious about how they compare to others. Unfortunately, this data is often covered by medical privacy rights and/or HIPAA. Taking a survey with voluntary participants can yield skewed results and may violate other medical requirements in collecting or analyzing health data.
Below is referenced data that updates some numbers on people's specific sexual health. Overall humans are going towards experiencing sex for the first time at an older age, preparing emotionally, physically, and psychologically for that first encounter, in addition to being patient for the longer wait. People are also having sex less frequently and with less partners even if it can still be weekly or more for those in their twenties.
This is a big contrast to humans of the recent past who started sexual activities as young as 8 to 10 years old, and had 35 to over 100 partners in a lifetime with the average age of first pregnacy being 13 to 16 years old. These are no longer prevalent or acceptable behaviors in developed nations, and the data shows that the updated behaviors are more representative of necessary behaviors for current human development goals.
