Government to study citizens’ sex lives

The Swedish government is launching a major study of the sex lives of the country’s citizens after reports that lovemaking is on the wane.

Public Health Minister Gabriel Wikstrom notes that the last thorough study of Swedes’ sex habits was 20 years ago. Since then, reports in tabloid newspapers have pointed to a decrease in sexual activity.

The Public Health Agency of Sweden was tasked to carry out the study and prepare a report by 2019.
