Less sex please, we're British!

According to the most recent survey:

- Less than half (41%) of people aged 16 to 44 have had sex at least once a week in the last month
- The proportion reporting no sex in the past month has increased - from 23% to 29.3% among women and from 26% to 29.2% among men between 2001 and 2012
- The proportion reporting sex 10 or more times in the past month has fallen - from 20.6% to 13.2% among women and from 20.2% to 14.4% among men between 2001 and 2012
- The average number of times that 35 to 44-year-olds reported having sex in the past month fell from four to two among women and from four to three among men

Would people believe the same is true this side of the water? I always find it surprising when you hear (usually without asking!) about other people's habits. Some relatively normal couples going weeks without. And plenty of playing away from home!

when they say "Sex", do they mean alone, or with others?

If you consider pulling the wire off yourself or fingering the box off yourself as sex then you are deluded.

Yeah until Amazon release their sex robots then you're always going to need someone else for it to count as "sex".

I seen a thing online somewhere the other day, a consent condom. It comes in a box (no pun intended) that requires 4 hands to open.

As if the bastards weren't awkward enough to begin with!

That puts me thinking - we've had Petey the Sexual Harassment Panda, what about something like Connie the Consent Camel, or somesuch?

I'm anticipating 4 pages on the desktop version of this thread before the giddiness wears off and someone actually makes a proper point!

Quality over quantity?

Would accessibility/accomodation be an issue? Think of two typical 20 something's house sharing or living at home. Hardly (pardon the pun) presents the opportunity to regularly get down to it.

Well it certainly helps when the children leave home. I don't know how people who live on terraces/houses estates ever have sex at all. Unless....

That doesn't surprise me. The next step will be to put a small screen on the box and the man will have to watch a video on how not to be a misogynist. Only then can the box be opened. Procreation will eventually become an annual formality.
