A dry season... that's actually another aspect I hadn't addressed in my post. Maybe one of the reasons we don't all talk more openly about sex is because we recognize it is not evenly distributed. Being such a powerful, important thing, maybe it's empathy and courtesy to not talk about it since, inevitable, some others aren't getting enough.

Also, as you mentioned, it's easy to just not have it be an important topic for season of time, especially when we're hyper focused on other things.
