It turns out that procreative sex (tình dục để duy trì nòi giống) might soon be a distant memory (kí ức xa vời) as humanity ditches (vứt bỏ) nookie (từ lóng, kiêng kị chỉ sự giao hợp) and produces babies using more predictable scientific methods (các phương pháp khoa học dễ đoán hơn).
...Rather than introducing sperm (tinh trùng) to egg (trứng) through the sweaty (đẫm mồ hôi) and often awkward (lúng túng, ngượng nghịu) rigmarole (câu chuyện huyên thuyên, dông dài) of rumpy-pumpy (làm tình), couples will instead head down to a laboratory where a scientist will make a baby for them.
"When a couple wants a baby, he'll provide sperm and she'll provide a punch of skin," Greely told the Sunday Times.
Stem cells (tế bào gốc) will then be produced from the skin, ordered to turn into eggs and used to make babies, freeing prospective parents from worrying about boring old things like orgasms (cực khoái) and sexy underwear (đồ lót gợi tình).

Nếu chỉ để duy trì nòi giống thì ng ta ko làm tình nhiều như vậy.

American adults had sex about nine fewer times per year in the early 2010s compared to the late 1990s in data from the nationally representative General Social Survey, N = 26,620, 1989–2014. This was partially due to the higher percentage of unpartnered individuals, who have sex less frequently on average. Sexual frequency declined among the partnered (married or living together) but stayed steady among the unpartnered, reducing the marital/partnered advantage for sexual frequency. Declines in sexual frequency were similar across gender, race, region, educational level, and work status and were largest among those in their 50s, those with school-age children, and those who did not watch pornography. In analyses separating the effects of age, time period, and cohort, the decline was primarily due to birth cohort (year of birth, also known as generation). With age and time period controlled, those born in the 1930s (Silent generation) had sex the most often, whereas those born in the 1990s (Millennials and iGen) had sex the least often. The decline was not linked to longer working hours or increased pornography use. Age had a strong effect on sexual frequency: Americans in their 20s had sex an average of about 80 times per year, compared to about 20 times per year for those in their 60s. The results suggest that Americans are having sex less frequently due to two primary factors: An increasing number of individuals without a steady or marital partner and a decline in sexual frequency among those with partners.
