This is one of the new additions to the blog. Back in 2002 I had the idea of writing a book about black sex in America. The book was going to discuss the trends of sex in African Americans. Now this wasn’t going to be based on any serious scientific data. But, what I did do was create a website that had a survey on it. I asked about 45 questions. What I am going to do is repost those questions. The questions were initially asked to all women. I ended up getting over 1,200 responses to the survey.
I am going to post the survey questions individually. Feel free to respond to the question in the comment section of the blog. Also feel free to share any thoughts you have on the results from the survey. Whether you thought you were doing things differently or more in line with everybody else as far as your sex life is concern.
If you had your choice how often would you have sex?
*Note: If you are not sexually active or not in a relation or whatever, just answer if you could have as much sex as you wanted to. No matter the scenario.
a. Once every 2 months
b. Once a month
c. Once every 2 weeks
d. Once a week
e. Twice a week
f. Three times a week
g. Four times a week
h. Five times a week
i. Once a day
j. Two or more times a day
When this question was asked I really thought most people would answer in the 3 to 5 times a week range.
a. Once every 2 months - 1%
b. Once a month - 1.8%
c. Once every 2 weeks - 2.2%
d. Once a week - 3.8%
e. Twice a week - 8%
f. Three times a week - 18.5%
g. Four times a week - 12.2%
h. Five times a week - 9.5%
i. Once a day - 16%
j. Two or more times a day - 27%
I was somewhat accurate about the 3 to 5 times a week I thought people wanted to have sex. I guess I was thinking about people’s schedules and just being able to make it happen. But, the thing that stood out to me was that the numbers people were actually having sex a week were much lower than the number of times people would like to have sex per week. 83% of people wish they could have sex at least 3 times a week or more. Yet, only 25.9% of people were actually having sex 3 or more times a week.
The biggest difference was in the once a day and two or more times a day responses. Only 2.7% of the respondents are having sex once a day, compared to 16% that would like to have sex once a day. And then all you freaky people that want to have sex two or more times a day was at 27%, but only 3.7% are actually having it that much.
Looks to me like a lot of people need to step up their game. People are not having nearly as much sex as they would like.
For me, I would be cool with 3 to 5 times a week. But, I do have spurts where everyday is cool. I usually put a lot of energy into pleasing, so everyday all the time may be a bit much for me.
Feel free to post your response and thoughts of the question in the comment area. If you do respond, let me know if you are male or female, age and marital status. Your post can be made anonymously. Also keep in mind that over 1,200 women answered the initial survey.

I (28 and Female) am single and have been for sometime. Yet in a perfect world and the ideal relationship I would like to have sex and least 2 times a week…however I would be a bit flexible with that…sometimes I get very needy and want it 3 times a day ( I love sex first thing in the morning…that’s when my freakiness comes out and it makes the workday more pleasant)…and I would still need it again during that week, lol

When I am in a committed relationship I would love to have sex at least once a day, if not two or three. I am now in a long distance relationship and I’m doing good if I have sex at least once a month!!
It seems like people think that women don’t want sex as much as men. That definitely is not true. But women who have children to take care of are so tired at the end of the day. BUT…!!! If the men in their lives were more attentive after the kids went to bed and not just intent on getting in the panties it would definitely renew the desire (at least I think so).

I am 26 and at my sexual peak. If I had it my way, I would have sex 2-3 times a day. The best time is when I first wake up in the morning and if my man is not awake I will wake him up with my mouth.
