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.

For both men and women, I don't think "expanded entertainment options" are real competitors to sex. They're just not on the same level and do not have the biological drive sex does.
Smartphones actually make engaging in sex easier, not harder. There's an app for that.
I think there are reasons people are having less sex, I just don't buy the reasons they are giving.

Just in case you don't know: you don't need a smartphone + lock-in AT&T contract to vibrate.
