Roe V Wade reversal and the extent they rolled back women’s rights has certainly changed the atmosphere.

[xboxnolifes]

Roe v Wade reversal happened well past the observed decline in sex occurrence.

[hiatus]

The reversal of Roe v Wade has changed people's sex drives?

[platevoltage]

I would imagine it has for a certain portion of the population with a certain organ that is the subject of legislation.

[Yossarrian22]

Yes? There’s now additional risk of dying

[add-sub-mul-div]

True. The decline has been in effect for a while, but as for recent chages losing reproductive freedom can't be helping, nor AI and legal weed as two new ways for people to opiate themselves.

[margalabargala]

I don't think any meaningful segment of the population is using AI to "opiate" themselves. AI is a useful tool but I haven't heard of it having parasocial effects on any meaningful scale.

Happy to be shown otherwise if there's data?

[lazide]

Eh, having lived in many other countries - lack of reproductive freedom definitely doesn’t cut back on sex. Same with public shaming, or other coercive control.

It’s not like there are 1.5 billion Indians because no one has sex there.

That's very recent while this started quite a while ago.
