Americans are having less sex than they once did

Obesity claims another victim. Not only does it diminish libido, it also makes it more difficult to reach the genital areas

Omg, there's absolutely nothing worse than finding a girl with a big booty, just to find out you can't reach under it from behind.

I've heard.
 
Well the problem is that a few men are having lots of sex because of the ease of access an alpha male has to sex. Literally put a picture of a hot guy in tinder and get matches.

When it comes to hookups, the alpha male basically destroys every chance normal males can have. An alpha male also doesn't give a fuck about his sexual partner's looks and has no other purpose in life other than increasing his sexual partner count and making life miserable for normal males.

Women prefer to have sex once a year with an alpha male than to have sex everyday with an average looking guy.

Nothing new. Move on.

I honestly can't tell if this is a real post or a joke post.

I've read a lot of stupid shit on this site, but this takes a the cake. This is something that'd be more at home at 4chan.
 
Honestly, I feel this in my own actions/desires a lot too.

A lot of times after a long day of work/gym/martial arts class/etc, I'd rather come home and sit down with some Overwatch or Zelda or something than have sex. Typically when I get into bed I want to actually go to sleep, too.
 
Stress and other anxieties probably have a huge effect.

Despite the findings, working longer hours/a longer commute seems to have an obvious effect on energy levels for my so, maybe magnified by whatever effects normal hormonal changes and birth control can have on fatigue.

I think it's work and stress. Lots of time you just want to sit at home and do nothing. Or you don't have time.

It's counter intuitive, but it happens.
 
Look, my wife and I are doing what we can, but y'all gotta step this shit up.

edit: Jesus, the married average is barely once a week. How the fuck do people live like this?

Age plays a part. I'm 43 and at about the stated average. 20 years ago I wanted it 3 times a day. But, after working long hours, raising a child, paying bills and a mortgage for years, life has worn down my stamina. I've actually had conversions with my other half in which we said sex or afternoon nap. We both chose nap.

Working to make enough money to survive in this country is taking it out of most people.

.

Add in raising a child though the teen years and you can actually see the youthful energy leaving your body and leaving behind lines and gray hair.

I'm a virgin.... just really waiting for that special woman to enter my life. And no, I don't have super high standards or anything.

Walk me through a day in your world because I'm having trouble seeing how people actually have time for more than once a week. I wish I had free time like that.

We generally have sex every other day. Sometimes it's a couple days in a row, sometimes it's 3 or 4 days without.

We make time for it at night mostly. Kids are in bed at 8, and then we've got 2 hours to ourselves. Usually that means either us watching some TV, or having sex and then watching some TV.

But we make a point of never deprioritizing sex. If you can't find time for it, you're not making it priority.

edit: additional worthwhile info - we're in our mid-30s, married almost 14 years, and our kids are 10 and 12.

Sex just isn't as appealing as it used to be. Its harder, riskier, and generally more intensive to retain than many other pleasures. I don't blame folks. I'd rather watch House of Cards than have sex.

yeah if you ever find yourself valuing virginity please take a moment and remind yourself that nobody cares and that it only serves to make things harder for you

sex is an average bodily function granted to us intrinsically, i think society has a lot of problems borne out of making it out to be something it isn't. plenty of bad sex out there, cant get hung up on it, shouldnt expect miracles out of it

its instant access, 24 hours a day porn thats the prob... when its routine its hard to get out

sprinkle depression, and ungodly amount of work, then it spells disaster...

Wake up. Is it late enough you need to start getting ready within the next 15 minutes? No? Is it that time of the month? No? Take off any clothing, cuddle, give some back rubbing, morning sex.

I come home from work for lunch. Is wife there? Yes? Is lunch taking me longer to make than normal? No? Is she in the mood? Yes? Lunch quickie.

Evening. Are we done working and working out? Are we both in the mood? Take a shower and bang.

Both have full time jobs and no kids, just have to walk the dog twice a day. I'd say we average 4-5 times a week, mostly in the morning because it's most convenient. If we have a dedicated "sex night" about every month it can be a few hours of banging.

If I go three or more days without I get moody as fuck and really have to try not to be testosterone fueled asshole.

Why do you know this?

just about all of them are, and I recognized the character, so a quick google search found it

I mainly posted that to say the girl is involuntarily getting an eyeful herself instead of only seeing the guy
 
Using 1989-2014 data from the General Social Survey, the study found that American adults have sex seven to nine fewer times per year than in the 1990s. Back then, Americans on average had sex 60 to 62 times a year, but in the early 2000s the frequency began to slip, and by 2014 it had declined to less than 53 times a year.

This happens with myself and my fiance all the time

We are both 26

See, that's crazy to me. On a weekday? I barely have the energy to make a bowl of cereal in the morning, nevermind have sex.

Like even when I was dating in college, on a weeknight we'd never be up for more than heavy petting before sleep. And half the time we'd rather just watch an episode of 30 Rock or something.

Well there's my problem. We don't get a couple hours to ourselves during weeknights. That sounds awesome.

Hmm yeah it seems like everyone has free time that I just don't. We get up at separate times and don't see each other in the morning, meeting for lunch isn't practical/possible, and evenings are basically just a rush to eat and get done whatever needs to get done around the house. Might get one show in after dinner. That's the extent of the free time.

I can't relate to this. Me and my girl have to have sex at least 5-6 times a week. I go into withdrawals when I don't get it.

lol yeah I used to be you...

But why don't you get that time? Is it uncontrollable things like small children, or controllable things like "we watch TV and pass out"?
