Are Swedes having less sex?

STOCKHOLM — Worried that Swedes aren’t having enough sex, the government wants to analyze the bedroom activities of its citizens in a major new study.

It’s been 20 years since the last in-depth study of the sex habits of the Scandinavian welfare state, so Public Health Minister Gabriel Wikstrom says it’s high time for another survey.

One of the goals of the investigation, set to be completed in 2019, is to find out whether there’s any truth to Swedish tabloid reports that Swedes are having less sex than they used to.

“It’s important to investigate whether that is the case and if so, what the reason is,” he wrote Friday.
