The life of subsistence farmers tends to be hard, by definition it consists
of work and sleep with pretty damn boring food (bread/[porridge with
occassional meat and a few seasonable veg.)
Don't be silly.

The whole of the United states and Canada produced a rich variety of
food and veg the kind that had never been seen in Europe until we sent
them plagues and genocidal maniacs.

Even today most people who live on the subsistance level in regions not
damaged by war, commerce and politics lead dynamic fruitful lives and
some sources state they seldom work more than 4 hours a day. If this
includes hunting, fishing and walks in the park, that's a hell of a lot
of time left over for sex if you don't have a TV and a mortgage.
