Looking at frequency, it again looks like overall and within race there is no decline in % of men who are at least somewhat sexually active, though there's some decline in weekly or greater activity, perhaps due to declining marriage/cohabitation among young men.pic.twitter.com/yrWISFTVeu
Taking off the smoothing, it looks like something weird might have happened with the survey in 1990 and maybe in 2012. But at most it's a slight steady decline, putting those two years aside.pic.twitter.com/nqqm7essho

Obv some young men feel cut out of the sexual ecology, and on some dimensions that measure may be increasing- but not evidently that fast. OTOH, if people have few other measures of connection, worth, and future, they perhaps focus enormously on this onehttps://twitter.com/toad_spotted/status/988762116063662085 …
Spotted Toad added,
Much easier to argue for a decline in subjective happiness that is unrelated to any supposed sexual drought, I'd saypic.twitter.com/mIGVAZy4KQ
If I wanted to be a jerk, and I do, I’d say our media is happier with a narrative of “unruly potentially violent sex-starved losers” than “mass despair, particularly among women, accompanying the asymptoic retreat from marriage”pic.twitter.com/dHa3gwDYFw
I remember their happiness one but not that one I don’t think
Could both be true right? Before you had women trapped in bad marriages, now you have women not getting married to begin with. Both might lead to more distress.
we can call it “anomie” or something
