Sex By the Numbers

In December 2011, Sarah Jio compiled interesting statistics about sex and experts' opinions about the stats.

Here are a few of her findings.

• 84% of women have sex to get their guy to do more around the house.
• 12% of married people sleep alone.
• The average person has sex 103 times per year.
• 48% of women have faked an orgasm.

Durex Sexual Wellbeing Global Survey -- Sexual Satisfaction (2011) Highlights:

In 2011, the Durex survey asked about the frequency of sex versus people's satisfaction levels. When looking at both scores, Japan was among the lowest, but the U.S. and U.K. were lower than many other countries.

There is also a "range of activities chart" to view.

• "Satisfaction with what we do 'in the bedroom' is mediocre ... we're not as happy as we could be or want to be."
• "Almost 2/3 of us don't feel we have sex often enough."
• "Half believe our sex lives lack excitement & variety."
