Whether it is or is not the norm isn't even as important. What matters is what people perceive as the norm.

Good point. But married men have more sex and unmarried have less of it. And sex now days does not lead to marriage unless you want marriage.

So I would expect divorce issues not to influence causual sex rates, but rather marriage rates.

Deadbedrooms are a thing as well. Being married limits your (ethical) options if for any reason your partner suddenly decides to no longer engage in physical intimacy.

Yes. But right now I am referring to this very set of statistics that says that married have more sex then unmarried.
