for translation, cause im a lil too lazy to fix the graph rn, the lowest number is about once a week, and the highest is once every 2.5 days. (it's a bit of an estimate; e.g. if ppl selected they have sex a "few times" over the last 6 months, this was recorded as 3x.)

Here's the same basic thing (5700 males), but avg agreement with the statement "I am satisfied with my sex life" over length of relationship

As one of those 22+ years in a relationship people, it’s not an issue with the relationship and the sex is great. Age (both 55+) is the main factor as in “I wish I had the energy to have MORE sex” so I could feel even closer to my partner. Age slows down the sex, not the love.

Very informative. Was looking at these charts getting worried about the long term viability of my 4 year relationship. 😂

Cool. Now do females.

I wonder how much less bad this looks if you control for age and/or kids.

Wait what? People married 20+ years still have sex every 7-9 days AND ARE DISSATISFIED? Sure, I’d like more than that, but in most of my 60 years there has been zero sex. One year averaged twice a day, several years averaged a couple of times a week, but most: zero.
