Medical Xpress:

Australians report having sex once or twice a week, on average. For Brits, it's less than once a week, while Americans report having sex two to three times a week.

We can't know for sure how often individuals actually have sex. Some people may incorrectly report their sexual frequency, either by mistake or on purpose. But the national estimates data are based on representative samples, so they're a useful guide.
...
In fact, Australians and Americans are having less sex than they used to in past decades.

Aussies had sex about 20 times fewer in 2013 than a decade before. Americans had sex nine times fewer, on average, in 2014 than a decade before.

Increased competition for our free time from smartphones, expanded entertainment options, and other sources is cited as causes for the drop in frequency.

  I used to go at it about 5 times a week, and once managed 7 times in a day, but that was before SoylentNews.

  SoylentBirthControl is People! People not coming so often.

  (And, on a serious note, what the f is it with all the Quiverful Christian fuckers we have on this site? Bragging? Or complaining? And know full well, that if you have that many Catholic children, fully two thirds of them will become apostates. Maybe less now that the priests aren't supposed to be buggering them, but that may have well worked out to the opposite effect. )
