  1. Married adults have markedly more sex than their unmarried peers, but the sex recession is also making inroads among married couples.
  2. When it comes to sexlessness (“no sex in the last year”) among young adults, the biggest change comes post-2010.
  3. Between 2010 and 2019, the average time young adults spent with friends in a given week fell by nearly 50%, from 12.8 hours to just 6.5 hours.

I cannot fathom going a year without getting laid, think 6 months was my record. How does one not trip and fall on a dick or into some pussy over the course of a year?! I'd be crawling the walls!

Lotion & a good imagination/porno, I guess?

Not good enough, not for long. There is no substitute for human contact.

No argument there, but some have little choice. I mean how attractive can a deeply depressed and unmotivated to live person be?

rules of getting laid

Rule 1: Be Attractive

Rule 2: Don't Be Unattractive

I'm married and faithful but not attracted much anymore. Her health issues led to a lot of weight gain and I'm just not attracted to large women. I'm willing, not able. Sex is pretty rare.
