    The sex recession continues to spread: Single German women have less frequently sexual intercourse and experience lower sexual desire than a decade ago. https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10508-019-01525-9 …pic.twitter.com/2z70q52Oxk

        Is there any hypothesis or explanation on why this is or do we only get the comparison for 41.56€? Oh. If I want to check it out it only costs 34,95€. And that's when I think . o O (Are there really so few people purchasing articles, that no-one notices such a bug?)

        Odd, on my PC the paper is free. Anyway, it has no explanation. Many ad hoc hypotheses have been offered in recent years, but no research I know has tested any causal hypothesis.

        I always wonder about this: how do we know that people are reporting sexual desire accurately? Could a large section of them not be giving what they think are socially acceptable answers?

        That wouldn't explain why people today answer one and the same questions indicating less sexual activity & desire than they did years ago, and why this is happening in all developed countries where it is researched.

        In the states, female obesity is destroying healthy sexual relations. And men who never get a taste of a beautiful woman tend to decline psychologically

        The drop in desire is a market gap. Someone should invent a pill for that. 😀
