Survey Results: Frequency

I was so grateful to everyone who recorded their, um, activity. I was VERY INTERESTED to see the results, and Mike has benefited though of course he doesn't realize why (nor does he ever ask questions when there are mysterious improvements in this department). Every time a new "twice a week" vote appeared, I felt like I had to step things up around here, especially considering I don't do much cleaning or cooking. ...I mean, right, as if that's what makes a Good Wife: cooking, cleaning, and sex. BUT YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN.

I HOPE.

LET'S CHANGE THE SUBJECT.

So here are the results. Parents in a 2-year-or-longer monogamous relationship = MP. Everyone else = EE.

Doing it never. Seriously, never: 1% MP, 0% EE
Doing it less than 4 times per year: 5% MP, 6% EE
Doing it more like 6 times per year: 10% MP, 17% EE
Doing it about once per month: 12% MP, 17% EE
Doing it 2-3 times per month: 26% MP, 11% EE
Doing it about once per week: 17% MP, 6% EE
Doing it about 3 times every 2 weeks: 11% MP, 11% EE
Doing it twice per week: 15% MP, 16% EE
Doing it more than twice a week: 3% MP, 16% EE
Rarely missing a night: 0% MP, 0% EE

Interesting. Funny that you feel the pressure to keep up! More surveys, please. That was fun!

This is so scientific! I love it.

How many EEs were there, and how many MPs?

Constance said...

Brash- Oh, dear, that would have been useful to jot down, wouldn't it? I do remember APPROXIMATELY: it was something like 120 MPs, and something like 20 EEs. So the MP data is better than the EE data.

It is interesting. I answered the survey but didn't get a chance to comment but if I did comment on the survey I would say "it's because I'm *tired*! I have a newborn! Waah!"

We finally did it last night after almost TWO MONTHS!

And that poll was a wake up call for me, it was so LAME to have to admit how infrequently we have sex.

Ha ha!

That's like a TOTAL bell curve, isn't it?

I don't understand why you felt like 2X a week was a goal. I mean, MORE people do it only 2-3 a month. That's the most commonly reported frequency.
So I read this and thought, OK, if we make once a week, then I'm done!

Constance said...

Pann- Not so much like 2x/week was the goal---more like the fact that SOME people do it that often made me feel like I should attempt to get CLOSER to that.
