Couples Sex Statistics – Surveys

There is the common misconception that married couples tend to have less sex than people that are single. But recent research has shown that 90% married men and women on average had sex compared to the 45-50% of singles that have had sex within a month. We provide sex statistics that debunk certain myths with sex information from several sex surveys that focus on relationship issues such sex, desire, arousal, satisfaction and frequency of sex.

 

Men and Women Statistics

• Percentage of Men and women over the age of 60 that say that they would like to have sex more often than they do now

Men 60 and older: 56 percent

Women 60 and older: 25 percent

(The National Council on Aging Study, “Healthy Sexuality and Vital Aging,” p. 6)

• In a recent US survey, 43 per cent of women and 31 per cent of men identified themselves as having one or more sexual problems.

Men     Women            Women enjoy sex ‘a great deal’

Always have orgasm               74        30                    87%

Usually ‘most of the time’      23        45                    74%

Less often                               3          24                    46%

 

Women who are ‘more likely’ to  ‘always to have an orgasm’ are more apt to enjoy sex a great deal , think about it often, be satisfied with their sex lives and say their sex lives are very exciting (ABC prime time 10-21-04)

Couples Statistics

There is clear evidence that sex loses its spark over time.

• Couples together less than 3 years  58% call their sex lives very exciting
• Couples together more than 10 years only 29% say their sex lives are very exciting.
• New couples 72% have sex at least several times a week.
• Long term couples just 32% have sex at least several times a week.
• Moreover people who are not satisfied with their sexual relationship are most likely to cheat on their spouse or partner –36% have done so!

 

“A satisfying sexual relationship” is important to their quality of life (believe that)

Men                 Women

45-59 years of age                   74%                 66%

60-74 years of age                   61                    48
