Thirty-Somethings Have About 80 Sexscapades Per Year

Doin' and doin' it and doin' it well.

This is what comes to mind after finding out about statistics related to sexual encounters according to age groups.

According to a University of Chicago National Opinion Research Center General Survey in 2005, the number of reported episodes of intercourse goes down with each decade of life:

Ages 18–29: a mean of 84 episodes per year
Ages 30–39: a mean of 80 episodes per year
Ages 40–49: a mean of 63.5 episodes per year
Ages 50–59: a mean of 45.8 episodes per year
Ages 60–69: a mean of 27.1 episodes per year
Ages 70 and older: a mean of 10.4 episodes per year

Hmmmmm.

This makes me think about when men and women reach their sexual peak.

A lot of people him and haw as they age. They don’t want to get older. They don’t want the wrinkles. They don’t want the gray hair. Whew, I don’t want that gray hair. But we want the wisdom.

But for women diggity gets better as we age. In fact women later in life. The exact age is up in the air, but many think 30, 35 or 40. It varies for every woman. But most experts agree that as a woman ages, she embraces her body. She also may have finally rid herself of the good girls don’t do that mindset.

She embraces herself and is feeling really good about who she is and therefore satisfaction is optimal. Oooooweee, satisfaction is optimal ladies.

Keep in mind, however, that this phenomenon is very individual.

Men, on the other hand, peak at about 18. But what was interesting about this information is the sexual peak for me provides information on the firmness of the erection at age 18 and how it is around that time that it is at its best.

The information for women doesn’t talk about the moisture level or vaginal walls and I’m wondering why not.

I think sex is something that gets better with age. It’s like a fine wine. The older the better.

And this may make a lot of folks get a not soooo pleasant pic in their minds but I think mind-blowing sex doesn’t stop for senior citizens.
I did a story for work not too long ago about baby boomers and beyond having good, nah, great sex.

The doctor who I interviewed for the story said that people in their 50s and beyond no longer have children in the home, often don’t have financial pressures experienced younger, heck, they just don’t have the worries of yesterday because things are just different. Life is just different.

With people 50 and beyond, they have time to just lay up and around and really be intimate, really share and really have some good ole diggity.

But if folks in their 30s are having sex about 80 times a year what does that break down to about seven times a month. Does that sound about right?

How frequently would you like to have sex if you were in a committed, monogamous relationship and if you are in this type of relationship would you like to do it more.

For fun, take this have you reached your sexual peak quiz.
