*In the west.
I think gender equality may be a big culprit. Take the US for example: women will dominate the college educated class soon if they haven't already, and with that economic freedom comes more optionality in choosing a partner, there are more choices to be had and there will be a self selection of the most desirable men (typically college educated as it correlates to income).
This is not to blame women in any sense, it's a great thing that we're achieving a more equal society, but with a industrial well educated society more optionality with partners will lead to less sex imo.
- jfabre 4y agoMost men don't care about how much a woman makes. It might be a nice thing to have, but it's surely not a requirement. All other things equal, a rich woman has less options than a poor woman, because women typically don't want to settle for a guy who makes less money than them. Women date up or equal to them in regards to status and wealth and, of course, there are exceptions like everything in life.
- UkrainianJew 4y agoYou are forgetting the strong anti-male sentiment throughout the education system. Toxic masculinity this, male privilege that. Women get graduated thinking that investing your time in your own family and kids is slavery, but living paycheck-to-paycheck in a rented condo, ready to be laid off on a whim is true freedom.
- imtringued 4y agoYes, it is quite paradoxical. They argue for equality but then you become the very thing that oppresses you. I would have wished for an overall increase in freedom.
- metalliqaz 4y agohow about investing in your family and kids while your husband lives paycheck-to-paycheck in a rented condo, ready to be laid off on a whim?

- Buldak 4y agoDo you think this is also a plausible account for, say, Japan?
- havblue 4y agoJust to nitpick, it sounds like you mean "women in the workforce" and not (broader term) "gender equality" as being the reason for the decrease in sex. It should be fair to say that careerism has resulted in less free time for family and less time for chores which also puts a damper on the bedroom when everyone argues over all the work that has to get done.
