Economic Woes Leading To Less Sex?

Maybe it’s just us, but we’d think that a flailing economy would lead more sex, not less. Isn’t a no brainer? Sex is free entertainment, people. Why would you cut back on that?

Well, we’re not sure—but apparently there are people who are. Specifically, people who read The Daily Beast—the site just released the results of their Valentine’s Day survey, unveiling this depressing and completely unromantic statistic.

So what do you think: is this phenomenon limited to the Daily Beast demographic, or are you affected by the sex recession (sexcession?) as well? If this trend starts to spread across the nation—well, it’s a good thing we have that stockpile of porn.

    I guess I’ll use that explanation for my current lack of a sex life… that, plus my divorce.

    I was just pondering today if strippers are drawing fewer tips, & (many) fewer private-dances, in this economy. On the one hand, the patrons have less disposable income to commit to the champagne room; on the other, the lack of funds depresses, & a (good) lapdance certainly elevates the mood. I suppose it might depend on the club, then. The smaller mom n’ pop nudie bars, with limited space & even more limited potential for tittilation (as one who has been to The Stal’s Spotlite Lounge (though thankfully, not since Nov ’06) I can speak to the low calibre), are hurting, but the bigger clubs & chains are prolly raking.
