- Married adults have markedly more sex than their unmarried peers, but the sex recession is also making inroads among married couples.
- When it comes to sexlessness (“no sex in the last year”) among young adults, the biggest change comes post-2010.
- 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.

Of all the garbage going on this really is a footnote and not worthy of focus. Maybe people less sex if under extreme stress. Maybe knowing they can't afford a kid makes them have less sex. Maybe more general acceptance of masturbation and the decrease of religion has made people less dependent on sex for release. Overall, doesn't matter. Not something important compared to the planet lighting on fire, fascism rising, etc.
Maybe if people were having more there would be less fascism. No really this metric is useful for tracking over economic stability and a few other things.
No it's not, primarily because humans lie, especially about how much sex they've had and sexual partners. I'd much rather go with data that's scientifically verifiable and reproducible.
