- 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.

The largest uptick happens right after the 2008 crisis. Hmm I wonder if we can infer a relation between workload and leisure from this.
That socializing with friends graphs is weird. The drop from 2018 to 2019 is steeper than the drop from 2019 to 2020, when the lockdowns happened.
obviously I can only speak anecdotally for myself, but when lockdowns happened I found that my group made an effort to socialize more online
however in the past few years my own online socialization has dropped more. schedules didn't line up, people lost interest in the same video games, etc. I got a little busier with hobbies and sports, at the expense of time to socialize
Hey, it's nice to be ahead of the curve for once. Just... I wish it was in regards to a different subject.
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.
I would have sex but I have to care for my elderly parents. So it’s really difficult to entice sexy time when an obese woman who is barely mobile, will greet you at the front door in her lounge chair. It’s so embarrassing. I just set up hook ups at motels.
Sex recession, also good band name.
Is it because most young men are Republican or right wing ideologies and women have swore to never have sex with men again do to this fact?
As a married man, I doubt it.
does this surprise anyone?
not only are we living in a neoliberal world where having sex is "objectifying" and therefore vile (while employment is conveniently not classified as such), there's also an erasure of third spaces where you could even meet other people (outside of work) so if you wanna satisfy your desire for basic human contact, you can only meet people at the workplace, where it is legally forbidden to flirt or make sexual advances.
again, does this surprise anyone?
How is "sex is vile" a neoliberal idea? Liberals advocate for sexual freedom, acceptance, and diversity in sexual practices and identities. As opposed to conservatives, who generally hold "traditional" views on sex, emphasizing abstinence, marriage, and restriction of sexual content.
there's a significant gap between "liberal" and "neoliberal". one embraces freedom of the individual, the other one sees the world as a big market, puts a price tag on everything, and wants people to be "productive" (a.k.a. at work) instead of wasting their time with unproductive sex or interpersonal relationships.
Regular sex is boring.
I only do the freaky sex now.
Your hand does not count as freaky sex.....
It does when it's the hand I lost to a freaky sex accident. 😌
I pretend it's Thing from The Addams Family.
End of the world is coming soon~
I'm pumping those numbers up for you rookies.
Why am I in those graphics? I'm not even American, dammit!
