I've had this discussion on reddit far too many times with too many incredulous responses to what is plainly obvious if you're willing to see it: http://www.psy.cmu.edu/~rakison/bussandschmitt.pdf

We're not talking about getting laid, we're talking about getting married. Fact is, married people get way more sex than single people.
