People are always interested in others peoples sex lives, if only to compare whether they are having enough or good sex. A survey taken by Trojan as part of the US Sex Census exposes the sexual habits of the nation. Over all the average American of 18 years and older has sex 120 times a year (2.3 times per week) with 76 percent being sexually satisfied. However, more than half still want more sex.

You might be surprised that city slickers are having more sex than their rural counterparts and Northeasterners are having the most sex.

“Indeed people in the Northeast report having more sex than any other U.S. region, averaging 130 times per year (2.5 times per week), compared to the Midwest (125 times per year / 2.4 times per week), West (120 times per year / 2.3 times per week) and South (114 times per year / 2.1 times per week). When it comes to practicing safe sex, Northeasterners (43 percent) are more likely to report using a condom during sexual activity.”
