A dip in the s3x drive of couples in Sweden could become a 'political problem' if it is not corrected, the country's government warned today.

Public Health Minister Gabriel Wikstrom said the last full study of Swedes' s3x habits was 20 years ago - and media reports and surveys now indicated a decrease in s3xual activity.

Wikstrom told the country's Dagens Nyheter newspaper: "It is important to find out how much less s3x Swedes are having, and what the reason is.

"If stress and other health issues are affecting Swedes' s3x lives, then that makes it a political problem." 

The Public Health Agency of Sweden had now been tasked to carry out a full study into the nation's bedroom habits and prepare a report by 2019.

Earlier this year, Mr Wikstrom publicly proclaimed on Twitter that noisy s3x is good for your health and added that it was for the greater good thanks to its individual benefits.

He later said: 

"S3x is a political matter as well. We often discuss sex in negative terms, like, for example, we relate it to rape, we relate it to sexual abuse... but not to the positive thing that s3x really is.

"I think we should really start to talk about s3x as something positive.

"I think Swedes should have all the s3x they want to have. 

Many Swedes feel they don't have as much s3x as they want to because of stress and work-related problems.
