  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.

    Thank you for this. It’ll be downvoted by unhappy people, but others need to know that a chaste Gilead relationship isn’t their only choice.

    My partners and I have sex at least once a day, and in general are physical and affectionate throughout each day. We had each been in relationships before with lower libido individuals and learned how difficult that can become over time so that part of compatibility was important to us before we found each other.

    It really makes a world of difference to find compatibility there. Most of life becomes easier. Healthy perspectives are easier to achieve. Physical health and fitness improves. Just knowing you can easily bring joy to someone you care about by helping them orgasm makes a lot of troubles feel insignificant.

    And it’s just something fun and intimate that people can do together. There are many ways to express love in a relationship, like so many dances in our repertoire, but the most universal among them is sex.
