What couples do that leads to better intimacy

Twenty-five percent of American couples have sex only one time per month — or less, according to new research.

Commissioned by LELO and conducted by Talker Research, the new poll of 2,000 U.S. adults in a relationship or married found that keeping the spark alive can sometimes be a challenge, as 14% of those polled say their sex lives are “unsatisfying.”

However, according to the results, the average couple surveyed does the deed four times per month for 18.6 minutes each time — that adds up to 15 hours over the course of the year.

Gen Z leads the charge, clocking in the highest number of times per month (5.3), with millennials not far behind (5.1). And despite an unhappy few, 71% report being satisfied with their sex lives, with 43% being “extremely satisfied.”
