It would create a lot of awkward interactions for any of their ex's who see the data after it's published, or their family.
Easier to avoid it at least in the public copy. Though I'd argue even tracking it personally might cause issues if your new SO saw it and started to compare to past partners. Best to just leave it out entirely.
They also don't mention time spent pooping and peeing. Doesn't mean it's taboo. Might just not be useful information to track, unless you're trying to have children or to check how your sex life was affected after already having children.
Love and relationships and as part of those sex are such an integral part of life. It seems odd it's such a taboo in tech to discuss, or in this case measure it as part of a life log.
It simply isn't true that love, relationships, and sex are an integral part of life. It's true for many people, but definitely not for everyone. Lots of people are single. Many are celibate (for whatever reason).
I don't think there's a taboo regarding sex and relationships in tech. People can discuss whatever they want. OP is free to choose whether to log (or share) their sex data.
- it's embarrassing to talk about your sex life, and maybe especially gaps in it, online?
- it's naturally private and people value their privacy, particularly online?
- people are so taboo about it that they don't even want to record it for their future self?
- it just gets lumped in with "sleep"?
- it doesn't take up a significant enough amount of time?
If the OP did have sex during this time, I expect it is filled under "people". It would be interesting to track, though. In particular, how much life is dedicated to the pursuit of sex vs actually having sex. I know that my time spent actually having sex has decreased from probably an hour per day to an hour per week. Not sure about time spent in pursuit of sex, though.
