Who got sex in the last year? According to studies singles arent getting as much as married but married is hitting a dry spell too.

61% singles and 18% married hit nothing for a year

 

Of course married people are getting some more.They have a steady partner....

 

Yeah but 18% did not have sex in a year and did you watch the video...the commentary brings up a good point.

 

I didn't watch the video before I commented.Just watched it now and I still stand by my first post.

 

I wasn't saying for you to change your mind. It was more interesting stuff (commentary mainly) that opened a can of worms

Also 18% of the married not having sex

 

In my experience, marrieds will have more sex.

I don't get the whole being married and not having sex. The longest I ever went without sex within a marriage was 6 weeks and that was because of surgeries and I was supposed to wait 8 weeks. We weren't even sexually compatible, but we still had sex 4-5 times a week, even when things were bad. And that was over a period of 17 years.

Single life....much different. I've gone months - year+ many times. That's one of those things I really didn't even think of when I got divorced. It's not for lack of opportunity, it's more lack of connection for me.

 

It's been that way for me after 32 years. A friend of mine in high school got married(he was advised by his family to marry an older woman). He met his wife at the county court house. They got married there. He had a girlfriend on the side. He told me that sex with his wife was a chore and sex with his girlfriend was a pleasure. After they had a son together, they divorced. I didn't understand why he cheated on his wife. I told him that it was wrong. Then, again, I was single and had no one. All the girls I knew were not available. Married couples do have more sex than single people, that is, if they enjoy sex/lovemaking. Single people seem to have more options in the choosing of a potential partner. This, in turn, makes it more competitive and complex because of individual desires/tastes.

 

In regards to the video....

The grass is always greener thought does seem to be prevalent.

The thing about sex once a week in a relationship is good......hm IDK I would think if things are at the point where it's once a week and you aren't people who are major travelers for work or something, things are sliding and I'd be concerned.

and for 57% of the men kissing and cuddling are essential in a long term relationship. Cool

 

Depends on your partner married or not

 

I'm seriously good with twice a week. Anything more is a bonus to me. Sometimes too much sex can even become tiresome and boring for us men.

Once a week, I do become really agitated and get into a nasty mood feeling neglected.

 

Well I'm single and now fall into the who the hell knows if/when you will get it good again.

But I know when I'm in a relationship if I go past the 2 day mark I start getting bitchy. (basically what you said at the once a week mark) I just always went for the every day idea and sometimes life gets in the way so you end up with it more like 3-5 days.

Um and never had an issue with a man getting too bored with it.

But what you said falls into the stats about the younger generations not wanting/needing it as often as other generations. I wonder though if that's generational or more the timing of that generation. More factors are involved like younger kids around and all.

 

I feel the younger generation is different largely due to technology which made us more self reliant, self absorbed, and introverted. Personally I don't feel the need to have sex all the time because I'm so used to easily access porn online that I take care of my own sexual desires.



It's mind blowing how technology is changing everything. For example, I used to feel some type of way like a bad parent because my son's never had a sleep over yet. But I did some thinking because they never complained or asked for one and realized they have had plenty of sleep overs already, virtual reality ones via XBOX Live playing videogames all night with other kids across the world from the comfort of they home.


My oldest son best friend is some kid he ain't never met named Shibby. God, this boy acts like it's the end of the fucking world crying his eyes out revolting when I tell him he has to turn the XBOX off when Shibbys online.

 

It's definitely verrrrrrrrrrrry different! Even when my older kids were younger and they would want to get together with their friends....the kids were so over scheduled it would rarely happen that they had any down time to just hang out with friends. The parents thought it was fine because they were in activity after activity with other kids (even if it was all structured). But those are the kids that are now adults and showing all sorts of signs of stress like you were talking about. They had/have no idea how to relax.
