  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 was on antidepressants briefly and they made me enjoy sex somewhat less, but I did last longer

When i first took any antidepressants years ago they absolutely sapped my sex drive. It took me forever to finish. I'm grown and married and neither my partner nor I wanted it to take an hour every time and it made the depression that much worse.

I've changed meds since then and can finish in a relatively normal time frame again but those meds can definitely affect your physiology.
