My Orgasms
a survey of surveys on the Sex Lives of Men and Women
I accept no responsibility for statistics, which are a form of magic beyond my comprehension.
-- Robertson Davies
The average couple is said to have sex 2.2 times per week. (Though the definition of .2 sex varies depending on one's gender.)
85% of couples said they would like to have sex at least twice a week. (Only 27% of couples claim to have sex twice a week and like it.)
80% of British men suffer temporary mental setbacks the night after they have sex. (It has yet to be determined if this is a cultural or universal phenomenon.)
75% of American women prefer chocolate to sex. ( This, most scientists believe, is a world-wide phenomenon, depending on the availability of chocolate.)
54% of Christian women say fidelity is what they most love in a man, but only 6% say the faithful also need to be good in bed. (Yet another good reason to be an atheist.)
40% of sexually active adults distinguish fucking from sex. (Sex without fucking? Is this another Christian sect? )
38% of men pray for divine aid with their sexual performance. (Examples soon to be released inThe New Book of Common Prayer.)
35% of married women consider sex as important as any other household chore. (And who knew doing the dishes could be so much fun? For details on exotic dishes, check out Dish-sex.com)
25% of men say their sexual advances are turned down at least 50% of the time. (Women are always better at advancing in such matters, alas.)
10% of men admit to lying about their sex lives, and pollsters suspect the number to be higher. Even when filling out anonymous, men admit they want to keep up with the Joneses. (Such lies! Do tell!)
1 out of 15 women admits she fakes her orgasms. (But she still refers to them as "my orgasms.")
