- 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.

I feel like this gets stupid the more you look into it
Especially for the statistician interns that are having to hide in closets to count and observe people having sex. They really didn't think they "Institute for Family Studies" would be so literal in their work.

End of the world is coming soon~
I'm pumping those numbers up for you rookies.
Ewestile dysfallen.
Why am I in those graphics? I'm not even American, dammit!
Guess LaTour was wrong, people are not having sex and something seems to stop them.
Yeah this about tracks. I bet a bunch of happiness and quality of life related stats all moved downward together over the past few decades.
But the sex and time with friends ones are great bottom lines to look at, because spending time with our people is good for us, and our society is not structured with individual personal well being as a priority.
And I say this as an extremely introverted person who loves being a recluse and especially lives having an empty house on the weekends. The effects of good positive relationships are undeniable, and lacking them can leave somebody in a negative feedback loop that really sucks.
I know other comments already went into the "if conservatives want the country to have more babies maybe they should make life conducive to raising a family instead of getting billionaires an 8% CAGR return rather than only 7%" thing, but i've got to acknowledge it here too. We have the whole damn country caught up in the rat race.
regularity is boring more irregular sex please
I wonder how much this is an actual reduction vs how much is people being more honest than they were before
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!
