Financial woes leaving many people too stressed for sex: Survey
Financial stress and sex don't mix. That's the main takeaway from a recent ZipHealth survey that found one in four Americans (26%) are too stressed about money to have sex. Apparently nothing kills the mood quite like being strapped for cash. With 73% of renters burdened by costs and nearly half spending more than 50% of their income on housing, the romance department is taking a hit, Hud Housing Network reported.

One in two renters has delayed breaking up with their partner because they couldn't afford to move out, however. Those who are financially satisfied are twice as likely to have good sex lives, per the survey, while they're also 2.6 times more likely to have frequent sex and six times more likely to feel secure in their relationships.

Among Canadians surveyed, gen Z showed the strongest feelings around finances in relationships with 65% saying their partner's net worth is important to them when starting a relationship compared to the national average of 57%. In addition, one in four Gen Z respondents admitted they likely wouldn't date someone who earns less than them. Also, 71% of respondents said they would consider breaking up with a partner if they discovered they were being dishonest about their finances; 65% would consider a breakup if their partner never offered to pay for anything; and 56% may break up over a partner's bad spending habits.

A quarter of Americans are now too stressed about money to have sex: survey
It's a recession in affection. Money problems used to just ruin weekends and credit scores — now they're ruining date nights, libido, and long-term relationships. According to a recent ZipHealth survey, one in four Americans (26%) say they're too stressed about money to have sex. Finance issues are becoming foreplay's biggest mood killer. Economic uncertainty is no longer just showing up in bank statements; it's sneaking under the sheets. Financial pressure is reshaping how we date, relate, and procreate. With 73% of renters cost-burdened, and nearly half spending more than 50% of their income on housing, there's not much left for dinner and flowers, Hud Housing Network reported. More than half of Americans (53%) say the lack of affordable date nights is hurting their sex lives. Meanwhile, 1 in 2 renters has delayed breaking up because they literally can't afford to move out. Forget 'staying for the kids.' In 2025, couples stay for the Wi-Fi and shared Netflix. The data doesn't lie — broke people are having less sex and enjoying it even less when they do. Financially satisfied folks are twice as likely to have good sex lives, 2.6 times more likely to have frequent sex, and 6 times more likely to feel secure in their relationships. Meanwhile, almost a quarter of young adults say they're avoiding dating entirely due to financial uncertainty. In the end, it's clear: money isn't just shaping our futures — it's hijacking our love lives. Whether it's lease regret, delayed breakups, or the bedroom turning into a budgeting office, Americans are feeling the heat from overdue bills, not the sexual tension. So if your love life feels like it's on pause, don't blame your partner. Blame the economy. Love may be free — but in 2025, sex comes with a cost.

Miami is the No. 2 most sex-curious city in America—here's what beat it
Cue Nelly's "Hot in Herre," appropriate lyrics for new Google search data that suggests Miami is one of the most sex-curious cities in the United States. Access to online porn might be challenging if you live in Florida—one of the largest adult porn content sites has blocked access for Floridians; however, folks in the Sunshine State are consistently looking for alternatives, as Google Trends reports. A recent ZipHealth survey, the ' Libido Index ', delved into Google search data from all 50 states and major U.S. cities to determine how sexual health and libido varies across the country and the results are startling. ZipHealth, a US-based online pharmacy for FDA-approved medication, including options for sexual health, zeroed in on 303 search terms across 50 states and 50 US cities. Per capita, New York, Washington, and Virginia have the highest output of libido-related searches nationwide, while Atlanta, Miami, and Minneapolis hold the top three urban rankings for investigations on sex drive and sexual health. 'What can I do to increase my sex drive female' is the most frequently searched phrase, sitting at the top of the list in eight states: Alabama, Arkansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Texas, and Wisconsin. 'Over the counter ED pills', 'testosterone supplements', 'why doesn't my wife want sex', 'average sex drive of a woman' and 'sex recession' all topped the search list as well. When it comes to urban enclaves with the most digital curiosity surrounding the topic of libidos, Atlanta ranked No. 1, with Miami coming in second. Minneapolis, Seattle, Denver, Boston, Tampa (coming in at number seven), Las Vegas, Baltimore and Sacramento all made the top 10 for searches around sexual health and libido. Navigating sexual health and wellness can be a tricky endeavor, if not a highly personal and emotional one. ZipHealth's "Libido Index" might be a conduit for determining what is important to people across the country, as well as highlighting the complicated dynamics of relationships, mental health and emotional wellbeing.

Gen Z finally wants to have more sex — at the office, study says
They want to get it on while on the clock. Gen Z might be less sexually active than other age groups, but there is one thing that is turning many of them on: in-office sex. Yes, it seems that those born between 1997 and 2012 aren't opposed to doing the deed in a conference room. With many return-to-office mandates happening all over the country — but especially in major cities — according to a new survey from EduBirdie, 29% of Gen Zers believe that working in an office can improve their sex lives since being away from their significant other can make them miss each other more. However, others don't seem to want to wait to get home to satisfy their sexual needs, as originally reported on by Fast Company. To take things a steamy step further, the study revealed that 38% of Gen Z would love a private space in the office for getting it on — either with a co-worker or by themselves. If Gen Z has to return to the office — they want to have fun while there. SKW – While many of these young workers are looking for ways to keep things spicy while working a mundane office job — others surveyed are just fine doing it in the comfort of their homes. 47% of Gen Z workers who work remotely admitted they're prioritizing sex more since it's easier to find the time for it. Regardless of where people are getting some hanky panky in — something that many workers wish their employer would grant: instead of sick days, Gen Z, millennials, Gen X and baby boomers all want to be able to take 'sex days' — paid or unpaid. ''Sex days' [are] dedicated time off for intimacy, health, and related needs,' explained researchers from ZipHealth, an online pharmacy, in a report from earlier this year. Despite their age group, many want their employer to offer 'sex days.' deagreez – The survey analyzed 800 staffers and 200 managers across various age groups, and the study authors found that 'Half of the employees who had taken [a sex day] reported a noticeable boost in their productivity afterward…hinting at the potential organizational advantages of embracing sexual wellness initiatives.' In-office sexcapades, taking days off for intimacy — how times have changed and gotten spicy over the years in corporate America. And as taboo as taking a day off for some sexual pleasure sounds — it turns out that 60% of employees feel that if they prioritize their sex lives more, it could possibly reduce burnout or absenteeism, according to ZipHealth.
