i'd say culture is responsible for some of it, but there's probably a biological cause for the rest.

We don't know the cause, but environmental hormonal causes are one hypothesis.

It's easy to see how lower testosterone would lead to less sex. It is very unlikely to be the only cause, but it likely has some impact.
