This is madness. I blame technology.

Here’s another reasons the ’90s were better: we were having a lot more sex than we are today. At least that’s according to a new study that shows adults are having sex fewer times per year on average than we were back in the glorious time that was the ’90s.

Almost 27,000 individuals were surveyed, and researchers discovered that adults “were having sex seven fewer times annually in the early 2010s compared to the early 1990s, and nine fewer times compared to the late 1990s.” Well that’s depressing. And that’s not all. Researchers also learned that “for each year after the age of 25, adults, on average, had sex 1.18 fewer times a year, corresponding to a fall from about 80 times a year for those in their mid twenties to about 20 times a year for those in their mid sixties.” Why, God, why?

But don’t worry, it’s not that we still aren’t gross, perverted humans, at least according to Ryne Sherman: “It is very possible that for young people this is a conscious life choice,” the co-author of the study from Florida Atlantic University states.

Of course the study also reveals that people are using more social media than ever, so perhaps liking photos of food and dogs on Instagram are keeping us from doing the dirty. Also, maybe saying “doing the dirty” is keeping us from getting laid. Or maybe that’s just my problem.
