“…The 1989 Swedish study reported a median number of six instances of sexual intercourse in the past month for both men and women. 12 The same figures also applied for married or cohabiting men and women, but higher rates were reported by unmarried people with a regular partner (10 for men, nine for women), and lower rates were reported by unmarried people with no regular partner (three for men, two for women). Another US study revealed that a higher frequency of intercourse was reported by younger respondents and unmarried respondents who cohabited than by married people or people who had never married.…”

For people aged 18-50 years there was no obvious association between gender and physical satisfaction. However, for respondents aged over 50 years, men were significantly more likely than women to report being extremely physically satisfied (52% of men vs. 32% of women), and extremely emotionally satisfied (52% of men vs. 32% of women). In general, married respondents were more likely than other respondents to report high levels of emotional satisfaction. In the Finnish study, 33% of women and 29% of men were 'very happy' with the emotional aspects of their regular relationships, and there was a significant correlation between higher levels emotional satisfaction and higher levels of pleasure from intercourse. 6 In a study of heterosexual couples in the US, sexual adjustment was related to greater agreement between the partner about sexual preferences and to men's greater understanding of their partner's sexual preferences. 7A meta-analysis of data from 177 studies found that men report a greater frequency of intercourse than do women.8 Among both Article
