NEW YORK — Regular romps in the bedroom are always a great way for couples to keep the spark alive, but as many spouses can attest to, getting around to fooling around seems to grow more difficult as the years pass by. So how much is “normal” when it comes to making love? According to a new survey, the average American couple has sex nine times per month — which translates to 108 times per year.
A new survey of 2,000 American adults in relationships by adult product online retailer EdenFantasys sought to find out just how important having sex was to most couples and how frequently they were enjoying time in the bedroom.
They found that the average couple has sex for, as it turns out, 69 minutes per week or about 60 hours per year.
While 3% of respondents claims they have sex a whopping minimum of 30 times in a month, it was much more normal for couples to admit that finding the time to make love wasn’t so easy. Three-quarters of participants found their busy schedules cause them to struggle to have sex regularly, and 60% admitted they wished they were having more sex. In fact, 12% of respondents said they were lucky to have sex even just once a month.
One solution to spicing up the romance between partners is to schedule “sexpointments,” that is, actually coming up with specific dates and times to do the deed. It may sound silly, but half of the respondents admit to coming up with an exact time and place for some intimacy. The study found that the average couple schedules six sexpointments each month, and that 20% found doing so to be even more romantic than doing it spontaneously.
As for why couples say they schedule sex, about 40% of respondents said that having kids in the house forces them to book those rare moments they have to themselves. Thirty-six percent said that their partner is often busy, leading them to take charge and pencil in sexpointments. A quarter of participants admitted they’re trying out the tactic just because they want to have sex more frequently.
The survey also showed that Saturday nights at 10 p.m. was the most popular time for couples to schedule their sexpointments.
The survey was conducted by OnePoll in January.
The three biggest lies ever told:
Dick size
How often a couple has sex
How far you drive the ball on tee shots.
Don’t forget “The check is in the mail”, and “I promise I won’t ____ in your mouth.”
The average man’s member is 5.2 inches;
The depth of the average woman’s counterpart is 8 inches
Question:
How many miles of unused v exist in NYC?
Do people lie to pollsters and surveys? Just ask Hillary. Hell, I had a tough time getting that much when I was 18 and Mr. Happy was hard enough to cut diamond at all times.
It also depends on if the couple is raising children and how old those children are. That has a GIANT impact… lol
President Hoover & his wife went on tour to promote modern farming techniques
While at a Poultry farm, Mrs Hoover noticed the activity of a rooster and asked
the poultry farmer how many times a rooster did it a day?
The farmer answered, he wasn’t sure but believed it was 20 … maybe 25 times a day …
Mrs Hoover said, tell that to Mister Hoover ….
Upon hearing that, President Hoover asked the farmer, how many times
does a rooster do it a day with any one chicken?
The farmer answered, once
To which President Hoover said, tell that to Mrs. Hoover
I like the 69 part… but no.
Im afraid that Average is far less than this. Most other studies thus indicate.
How can anyone possibly manage to have sex nine times a month, when do they rest and recover. OMG, that is crazy!
What is the point of sex after marriage and children, it just another chore.
Look, the template for good to great sex goes like this – if it’s not dirty, you’re not doing it right.
Average couples must not have kids that take al ltheir time and energy.
Daammmit. I am well below average again.
The first couple of years of marriage my wife and I had sex on a very regular basis, after 5 years not so much, but after 10 years we both started having a lot more sex and the best part is that it isn’t with each other these days.
I read somewhere that people who have sex often usually live longer. Now I have clinical proof my wife is trying to kill me!!!
I take things into my own hands.
So does having sex include masturbation? Cause that is way more than 9 times per month.
Men, 18-50 or higher, would prefer it at least once a day.
We brought a nanny into our house to “do the jobs my American wife didn’t have time to do”
Problem solved
If you are doing it once a day you are a sex addict and are doing little else in life. If you are doing it once every four days or so you are keeping it fresh. Doing it more just makes it work.
I get bored with the woman around the 15th time. 9 times a month would really bore me.
