118 times per year? That seems kind of high, to my mind. That's 2.26 times per week, on average. But I would have thought that there would be enough people out there not getting any to pull that average way down. I wonder how good they were about surveying across demographics?

Posted by Kayla (Member # 2403) on :

I have never done it 118 times a year! I'm not sure, but I don't think I've even done it once!

Oh, wait, you weren't talking about blowing the whistle, were you?

Well, you were, but not that whistle. [Wink]

I wonder how they conducted the survey. Because if all the people were Durex customers, that would necessarily skew the results to the high side.

Russians were the least happy with their lot. Only 59 percent said they were satisfied, despite having sex an average of 150 times a year.

Not surprising. I think Russians are genetically predisposed to be dissatified with everything. It's like they all have ADD or something.

If Kayla can blow the whitle on herself, can I toot my own horn?

As far as the survey, as a bunch of high school guys that question. Then ask a bunch of high school girls. Surprisingly, the men's answers are 2 to 5 times higher than the girls. The statistical solution? American Highschools must be a hotbed of homosexual activity.

I'm still having trouble with this whole 118 times per year thing. Not that long ago someone relayed a statistic to me (probably from Oprah or something) that, on average, married couples in America have sex 3 times per month. That adds up to an annual total of 36 times. Are single people really having enough sex to pull the national average up by over 300%?

I've read studies where married people have sex more often and report better results by far than sexually active single people.

I wonder how Vatican City faired in the polls.
