That's an impressive drop. Any ideas why?

It seems you believe the myths that media wants to tell you about modern courtship. Yes, such shallow people exist. And yes, there are thresholds of hygiene and stability someone should be expected to meet. But a lot of women want to get laid just as bad as men, not for the money or the status but for the sex.
Again is dependent a lot on your age.

Not enough foreskin in America

You'd have to compare this graph to data from elsewhere in the world, though. Especially in the Western world.
Also, the fact that sex is less fun for men when most of their genitals' nerve endings have been cut off does not mean it's being performed less. -

The best answer is how anti depressants which at least 20% of those in the USA take ---- depresses the sex drive for both males and females.

I imagine it's a continuation of the isolation that social media causes.
edit: looked into this a little more and found This medium article. saying there wasn't much change in the rate of sex weekly for adults in the 90s, and not until the early 2000s when OECD countries started seeing a reduction.
Not sure what to trust but Family Studies is a conservative think-tank so I don't necessarily trust their data either.
It’s the internet/social media. Not sure why we’re acting like this is a hard one. We are literally replacing real-life interactions with virtual ones—including sex. Wouldn’t be surprised if masturbation rates have drastically increased in that same timeframe.

People are stretched as thin as can be and stressed beyond belief. Then during their free time they are inundated by algorithms that are made to keep them scrolling and to feel as many negative emotions as possible. Then their food is full of hormones and their food wrappers and cosmetics and toiletries are all full of phthalates and microplastics and undisclosed hormone disrupting chemicals. All in a progressively protestant society that increasingly isolates us from one another and shames us for our natural urges and feelings and bodies, all in the name of selling us unnatural solutions for these "problems."
It's a mystery though.
It’s not a mystery, it’s social media. This isn’t fucking hard folks.
Also, this study is by a conservative think tank and is biased as hell. They’re trying to force kids to marry young to have a bunch of children for “god’s army.” These “data” showing declining sex rates gives these conservatives fuel for their crusade. This is all also closely linked to the great replacement theory. None of this information should be taken at face value.

Should I invest in sex now that it's low?

Ever heard about STD rates in nursing homes? There may be a factor that's correlated with age, but age itself doesn't stop sex, or even slow it down that much.

I have a really high sex drive and I've never been in a relationship where I consistently got it often enough to be satisfied so I stopped trying. It also doesn't help that my living situation is not conducive to bringing people home with me.

I'm also going to think the absinence-only education plays a role. I know people in their 20s today who didn't understand: lube, protection, HIV, pregnancy. Some of them were HIV+ before they knew what happened. People are confused and uneducated. Thanks Christians!

I'm not saying people don't have sex as they get older (though there is ample evidence out there that they tend to have less). I'm saying that women are less likely to put up with a broke ass older man than a young stud. As you get older you become more prized as a breadwinner than you do as just a toy boy.

Do you count more if you have sex 3 to 4 times a week?

- People are more willing to be honest now.
- How much of that sex in the past had the same amount of consent?

Just keep working on yourself friend. Only way things don't work out in the long run is if you stop trying
Blues Traveler song I love has a very similar line; "There's no such thing as a failure who keeps trying. Coasting to the bottom is the only mistake.". I heard it at a young age, when I absolutely needed to hear it. I have done my best to teach my children and close friends this. You can do it. What "it" is may change in the effort... But if you keep trying, you will never be a failure.

I find computers endlessly fascinating and they are easier to understand than social interactions. If you took away easier forms of entertainment I would be seeking harder forms of entertainment. Probably also starting a revolution.

I've also never been in a relationship that totally satisfied my sex drive, so I feel this a lot. My fiance used to be very sexual like me, but then she went on antidepressants and that was kinda killed. Now, she's off then again, but her sex drive never rebounded, even though she thinks I'm more attractive now that I've been working out and gained muscle. Just sad to be jerking off in the office or bathroom every day instead of being intimate with someone you love because they don't want to have sex with you 🫤
I don't blame her or anything, it just hurts my soul a bit. Her sex drive is so low now that I feel guilty and anxious even asking, because I know she'll either reject it outright or just tolerate it if she really wants to make me happy that day, which kills it for me.
I'd say we only really have sex where we're both equally enjoying it maybe once every few weeks to once a month. If her drive were the same as mine, that would be once or twice a day. Just a shitty situation for me.
