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 have to admit, I did not expect The Michael to be so fortunate as to be able to exercise regularly in this fashion.

    I've actually come to the conclusion that anybody worth thinking about having sex with is actually an expensive mistake and that I should keep my hands in my pockets and watch the blinking lights. I guess if you have no money or job, the best things in life are free, and as a result, there is no expensive mistake to make. Not monetarily, at least.

    I've been puzzled as to why I'm not _already_ on Blood Pressure medication, as it is chronically but _modestly_ high.

    Just now your post yielded my desired insight.

    My Hat's Off To You,Sir!
