tl;dr women, when not having to depend on a man for income and have an equivalent divide of household duties, tend to not be as stressed and have better sex

Not exactly. The only facts here refer to a study post-Reunification that said that East German women had twice the orgasms of West Germans.

The rest is a couple of anecdotes that seem to fall suspiciously in the "it was better in my day" and "my mother wants grandchildren" camps. Neither of which are particular to ex-socialist countries. Plus some supposition that doesn't appear to have any grounds within the article.

I mean, that tl;dr might well be true (of life rather than the article). I would be interested in seeing the detail of the original study though. Depending on precisely when they counted said orgasms, my own anecdata of early post-Wall relations may have a quite different explanation.
