The answer is right in the abstract. They cite that the majority of sex is had between married couples, and that number is 80 times per year for couples in their 20s (down to 20x for couples in their 60s). Maybe the parent poster has carefully polled his married friends to determine this trend, but I suspect they're merely uncritically accepting information that aligns with their existing beliefs like we all do.
- coldtea 10y ago9 less from 20 is quite a decrease. So would be 9 less from 30 or 40 etc. And it could be way more per group. 9 is the average decrease, not one that just applies to the 80x population.
- chillacy 10y agoYou're not wrong but I wish you backed your evidence with numbers from the paper instead of hypotheticals.
- coldtea 10y agoThe paper is behind a paywall though. Besides the original comment just gave the number "9 less" without any other number from the paper as context so that we can evaluate the importance of the change.
