Clearly they're still present, but to the extent you're right that there is a sense of sexual repression, it seems to me that there must be some other social forces at play. Just doesn't make much sense to me that religiosity could decline in the way that it has and still form the basis for your observation.

I think there is something to it... if you go to a non sin based society you may not be having more sex but you will definitely see a difference in the reasons why...
I dont think this is the real reason behind it though
it took me years to figure it out but its not about the sex... its the game of sensuality and attraction.... the human engagement of intimacy with another human being that is so overlooked and that is very much alive .... and if you want more sex, I think you have to learn to appreciate that.
Similar to drinking alcohol, you appreciate the fine wine or great scotch as much or more than the buzz you get in the end ... anyone can go and get a $10 bottle of "wine" and get a buzz... but to really enjoy yourself you have to appreciate the journey.
I think society as a whole meanders back and forth between making sex too easy so as to not appreciate it or making it too deep so as to require an investment of time and effort.... its always been that way through history as far as I can tell.
I just wanted to add
this is probably a reflection of your own personal need as well
when we need anticipation, we seek targets that bring that out in us in some weird existential way
