According to a study published by Match today, 81 percent of single men said sex is now less important than it was for them in pre-pandemic times.

The jaw-dropping stat on lackluster libidos is thanks to a "perfect storm" of biological and societal reasons brought on by COVID, according to Match's chief scientific advisers and sex researchers Helen Fisher, Ph.D., and Justin Garcia, Ph.D.

"You can't shut a planet and expect people's physiology to remain the same," Fisher told The Post. "We all suffered, dopamine plummeted, testosterone plummeted, sex is less important.

"The more sex you have, the more you want. The less sex you have, the less you want. These singles were having less sex and were under extreme stress, the two together dampened the importance of sex in their lives," she added.
