The Sex Recession_ Understanding the Decline in American Sexual Activity

In recent years, there's been a pervasive shift in the sexual landscape of America, often referred to as the "sex recession." This term describes the decline in sexual activity among U.S. adults, and the numbers paint a striking picture—back in 1990, a solid 55% of adults reported being sexually active on a weekly basis. Fast forward to 2024, and that number has plummeted to just 37%.
But who is feeling the impacts of this recession? Young adults aged 18 to 29 are particularly affected, with their rates of celibacy doubling over the past decade—from 12% in 2010 to a staggering 24% in 2024. This means nearly a quarter of young adults haven’t engaged in sexual activity at all in the past year. You might think that marriage would be a buffer against this trend, but even among married couples, the frequency of sex has declined. A notable drop has occurred from 59% in 1996 to about 49% between 2010 and 2024.
