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.

    "Once you go catfish, you never, um, well, you went catfish."

    Of course not. I was just drawing the absurdity out for amusement's sake. Everyone knows carp would totally be the way to go if you were of a mind to fuck a fish.

    I would have to guess Buzz is right on this. Catfish, while their teeth are tiny, can bite down with some power. I learned early you don't land them by grabbing the lower lip like you do a bass, they will chomp down and even one not very big can hurt. Carp don't have any teeth, and they don't have jaws that can bite down.

    I do anyway until they top fifty pounds. My thumb looks like it's been gnawed on by a wire brush at the end of a particularly good week but it isn't really any more painful than the kind of treatment your hands receive routinely most any time you're carrying tools. I was of a decidedly different opinion before I got the much tougher skin guys pick up in their teens though.
