The average is 6 or 7 because you have a lot of 0's and 1's for various reasons. (Also, people lie.) Five in a year isn't a big deal. That's basically one every other month. That's just adulthood. College is structurally engineered for people to hook up.
But 1/4 of men under the age of 35 haven't had sex at all in the past year. That's astounding. Getting sex is easy.
I've noticed something on various Twitter and Reddit posts. It's that Gen Z is now obsessed with "body count." They think anything above 10 means you're whore or a porn star. (This is even a plot line on the "Sex Lives of College Girl" on Max, which isn't a terrible show.) Older people have pushed back saying numbers of 50-150 aren't terrible depending on age. (It's fairly easy to average 5-10 per year and extrapolate that over time.) I've trolled them and said if you're an adult man and are reasonably attractive and have decent people skills and at least an OK job, sex is easy to get. They get visibly angry at this.
On one thread, some dude weighed in and said he was an attractive 59 year old, attractive doctor and regularly has sex with 4-5 women every month. (If he's in a big city, that is believable.)
I've also noticed that the young women seem to have higher numbers than men, which is backed up by this stat in that link. A lot more young women are having sex than young men. That tells me the young men that are having sex are having sex with lots of girls and the incels are at 0.
A whopping 24% of males 22-34 had not had sex in 2022-2023 — up from 9% in 2013-15. For females, the number was 13%, up from 8%.
This actually kind of fascinates me about Mormons/Mormonism. The early founders and its founding was complete batshit fuckery and they were assholes to the point they kept getting run out. Fast forward to modern Mormonism and they're the nicest people you'll find and (for a conservative religion) very well integrated into mainstream society. They are much better integrated than almost all evangelical denominations, for example. What made them stop being assholes and into nice people?
The part I find funny is that Mormonism isn't some ancient religion like the majors. It's like 150 years old. The old religions take a lot of things on faith because they happened thousands of years ago but it something happened 150 years ago, we should have something. (I know docs have been made about this.) We can produce all of the founding documents of the United States but no one can show us the magic plates.
Both of these....
If you're an older woman and from back in the day, I understand why you'd have a male doctor as there weren't any women. Now, it's well over half and in some specialties, it might be 80%. My wife has specifically found an all female cast of doctors. They just understand her body better. OBGYN goes without saying.
Also, to the second point, I just find they have better people skills in the office. I don't have all women but my primary and her nurse practitioner are both women.

Yeah, doctor wrote me a script and said it's easily managed if you catch it early enough. What's frustrating is even when I was fat, I had good BP and other metrics. I've been in fairly good shape for 10 or so years now and overnight it's now high.
Perfectly timed thread....
Turned 50 this year. With last year's physical, everything was great. All the lab metrics were normal to below normal. Cholesterol was 190. BP was 122/60. This year everything was great. Everything was inline to down from last year. Even lost a few pounds. Cholesterol was down to 160. Blood pressure? 152/96. What...the...fuck?
My entire life I've always been on the low range of normal but I guess the day I turned 50, that was done. (In my 20's, I was somewhere around 95/55.) I'm in good shape, exercise regularly, good diet, etc. Just out of nowhere by BP shoots up for no reason. Doctor said that arteries can harden as we age and BP can creep up. She put me on some meds and wants to monitor at home.
I guess I'm now High Blood Pressure Guy....
The "emergency" on energy is so fucking stupid but people will buy it hook, line, and sinker. O&G output is at an all time high to the point Chevron is dialing back.
He'll declare an "emergency" and output will remain high and he'll take credit and 2/3 of the country will buy into it.
