when people get married, how often do they have sex?

I think I read somewhere the national average is 5 times a month. But that means the natural rate is higher, as dead bedrooms drag down that average.

It doesn't necessarily have anything to do with marriage. The longer two people are together, the less urge they have to bang. People in a new relationship will screw constantly, then that will taper off steadily for the rest of the relationship. It's just the way humans work. I get the feeling that the marriages that last do find a manageable level that they stay at for a long time though. I figure once to twice a week is where a lot of healthy marriages end up.

Nobody has sex when they're married.

You have to get it all out of your system before marriage because once you tie the knot you only have sex to make babies.

Once the baby arrives? Almost never.

That's just an excuse. I've got a 6 year old and a 2 year old. I've been with my wife for over 15 years. We probably have more intimate nights a week in the last few years than we had on average 10 years ago. People just get lazy and stop trying. We didn't.

After you get turned down by your wife a few dozen times, you stop asking.

You dont get married for sex. You get married to initiate an arduous epic battle of passive aggressive combat over petty things with the opponent of your choice.

Hate to be a repeater but looks like the consensus from surveys and word of mouth from married people is around 2-3 times a week.
