Sex?! In This Economy?!

Things that block our libido and how to block them back.

There are so many studies out there that try to pinpoint the exact amount of sex a couple should have. The studies vary, but most say around once a week is the bare threshold for happiness. But my question is, what was the state of the world when these studies were conducted? Does that number fall when the world is burning? Does that number fall when fascist dictators are dismantling the US government? I'm no scientist, but I'm gonna guess that the answer is...probably.

And based on casual conversations I've had with friends and on Grindr recently, my hypothesis seems to be confirmed. Some think it may be winter or the fall of American democracy, but people seem to be less 'in the mood' than usual. While this isn't a bad thing, per se, it did make me want to do a little dive into the many pressures out there that turn us off and the ways we can reclaim our sexual power and turn ourselves back on.
