February 25, Australians report having sex once or twice a week, on average. For Brits, it's less than once a week , while Americans report having sex two to three times a week. We can't know for sure how often individuals actually have sex. Some people may incorrectly report their sexual frequency , either by mistake or on purpose. But the national estimates data are based on representative samples, so they're a useful guide.

Many factors can influence how often people have sex. Relationship status, health, and age can all play a role. As the relationship progresses, the rate might slow down. If they are busy with work or childcare, they might not have as much time for sex as they used to. Much depended on whether the respondents were single, partnered, or married. This was the highest rate in this age category.

While it's not usually a good idea to compare your sex life to what sex statistics say about others, it can be interesting to look at how often other couples have sex. For example, many people believe they're having less sex than their peers according to a goop. Other stats can offer insight on married couples' sexual satisfaction and even relationship satisfaction and how it's related to sex. Americans in their 20s whether partnered or not have sex about 80 times a year, or more than once per week, says a study.
