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.
