What it means

A line chart titled “Sex recession” shows the percentage of adults aged 18–64 who have sex weekly or more declining from 55% in 1990 to 37% in 2024, with some fluctuations along the way. The joke is the stark, deadpan presentation of declining sexual activity as an economic-style recession, making it a reaction to modern dating, loneliness, or social decline.
