According to the Mail Online researchers from the University College London surveyed over 15 000 adult men and women and found some radical changes in women’s circumstances and sexual behaviour compared to what it was in the 90s.
These days the average number of sexual partners a woman has in her lifetime is eight. This has doubled since similar studies conducted in the 90s. Men are still comfortably ahead with an average of 12 sexual partners.
Men and women are also losing their virginity earlier – the average for both sexes is 16.
Despite the increase in partners, overall people are having less sex – 3 times per month compared with the last average of 5 times per month.
We’ve looked at how this compared to the Female Nation Survey that Women24 ran recently. The 3 400 respondents were weighted against the last National Census to represent just over a million SA women 18 and older who earn more than R6000 per month and live in urban areas.
Almost 60% of this demographic have sex more often than their British counterparts. And although most women are happy with the sexual frequency, more than 65% yearn for more passion in their sex lives.
Maybe we should start focusing on the type of sex that makes us happy instead of just “getting it done”.
