Global Sex Crisis: Intimacy Plummets to Just 37% Worldwide

A sexual revolution might be underway, but it’s not the kind anyone expected. New data reveals that people worldwide are engaging in intimate relations in only 37% of cases — and even then, it’s typically just once a week. Scientists warn this figure is now lower than during the pandemic, signaling a troubling trend.

The decline isn’t limited to any one group. Among younger adults, a staggering 24% report not having sex for over a year.

This shift affects both married couples and singles alike, cutting across traditional boundaries. Experts point to a trio of culprits: mounting stress, the rising cost of dating, and a growing reluctance to marry or build relationships.
