Are You Keeping "Up" with the Joneses Sexually?

Here are some interesting statistics about sex frequency. You can use this to see how you measure up.

ha, see what I did there? measure...awww forget it.

According to The Chopra Center (Deepak Chopra's wellness site) here's how frequently people you know are getting it on - on average:

When it comes to sex, the only rule is that both partners are willing and enthusiastic participants. It is not uncommon for a man’s sex drive to be stronger than a woman’s, due to both social conditioning and hormones.

In studies on sexual frequency...here are some averages.

Sixteen to twenty years olds have sex on average 3.7 times per week.
Between twenty-one and twenty-five years of age, three times a week is average.
Between twenty-six and thirty, 2.6 times per week is the norm.
Between thirty-one and thirty-five, the frequency drops to 2.3
By forty years of age, couples are having sex twice a week on average.

Duration of the relationship also plays a part. Studies show that the longer you've been together, the less often you do it.

Here's a key point: If you fall into or near this range of sexual activity. You should focus on quality, rather than worrying about quantity.

But several questions remain:
1. How long are people having sex?
2. Reasons for not having sex this often?
3. What do I mean by quality?

Hmm...sounds like we'll have some stuff to talk about this week.
