IF fewer children are being born AND sales of contraceptives are not up THEN less sex is being had. I don't see how it is possible to argue against that.


Hormonal birth control? Environmental factors reducing births?


Again: We talk about short term affairs -- both of these cases would be visible in VD statistics.

Also note the additional obvious problems: Other birth control sales, just like condoms, are easy to find statistically -- and environmental factors ought to be obvious among people trying to get kids.
