This Is How Often The Average Person Your Age Gets Laid
How does age affect our sex life on average?
They say that couples have less and less sex as they get older.
Is that true? From what age onwards and how much does sexual activity decrease on average?
Since I am still quite young, I have no experience in this subject. Fortunately, I found a study that can answer these questions.
The Study
A recirculated study by the Kinsey Institute for research in Sex, Reproduction, and Gender found that, as might be expected, young people actually have significantly more sex than older people.
People aged 18–29 have sex an average of 112 times a year. This means a little more than 2 times a week. After that, the frequency of sex already seems to decrease significantly. In the age group from 30 to 39, the value is 86 times per year. A little less than 2 times a week. With increasing age, the frequency of sex seems to continue to decrease significantly. In the age group from 30 to 39, the value is 86 times per year. A little less than 2 times a week. At the age of 40–49 people only have sex 69 times a year on average, i.e. only slightly more than half as often as those 20 years younger.
Unfortunately, I have not found any data for people over 50.
Marriage As A Sex-Killer?
The rumor that marriage can be a killer of action in bed persists. Is it true?
According to Medical Daily, 34% of married couples have sex two to three times a week. 45% a few times a month and 13% only sleep with each other a few times a year.
Unsurprisingly, frequent sex has also been proven to promote happiness in married couples as well as in those in committed relationships. However, this is only true up to a certain point.
All of these studies conclude more sex does not necessarily mean more happiness. Earlier this year, a recent study also found increasing sex frequency is not equated with a rise in happiness levels. In the study, researchers asked 32 of 64 married couples to double their rate of sex and respond to short daily surveys about happiness. The participants managed to have more sex, but they were not happier, and often found themselves feeling less energetic and having worse sex. This suggests sex quality matters more than sex frequency. — Medical Daily
