We’re always told that women prefer woman on top positions because they get more control and it’s easier to climax and that men like man on top, because he can control the sex and orgasm easier. By contrast, 54% of men are not happy with the quality of sex in their marriage. That’s pretty good considering historically women are harder to please during sex. How many couples both want more sex, but just aren’t making it a priority, or their lives are too busy, or maybe they don’t even know their spouse wants more.Īmong our female readers, 70% are happy with the quality of sex in their marriage. I wonder how much overlap there is there. While 76% of husbands would like to have more sex, 52% of wives would as well. But not all of our female readers are high-drive, because they’re also 4 times more likely to say they’d like less sex (though only 2% of women respondents answered that way). As we’ve hypothesized in the past, this is likely due to the fact that we’re more likely to draw sex-positive and/or high-drive wives, and since wives tend to be the defacto gate-keepers of sex, this would account for that anomaly. Wives report 2.5 times per week with men reporting 1.7 times per week. Our women readers are having far more sex than our male readers on average. So, let’s look at a few of these by gender. Only 6% use 5 or more positions in a session. The average was 2.5, but over 45% of couples use 2 positions during a sex session. How many different positions do you use during a sex session? The largest group discussed it, with the second largest just knowing what each other wants (mind readers apparently). 18% – Without conversation (we just know what we want to do).9% – Without conversation (we always do the same thing).10% – We don’t change positions and/or activities.7% – I move my spouse where I want them to be.11% – I move how I want to be and my spouse follows.30% – Discuss it (do you want to try/switch to …).How do you generally transition between sexual positions and/or activities during sex? 11% never get to use their favorite but 15% get to use their favorite every time. I guess the one who offers oral sex gets to pick the position more often. How often do you use this position while giving oral sex? I wonder if this is considered the “missionary position” of oral sex, and so it scores high because people don’t try other ones. 4% – Kneeling while your spouse stands 3.85%Īnd again, the same position wins.7% – Kneeling/sitting while your spouse sits (in a chair, edge of the bed).13% – Spouse on their back, you beside them leaning over.10% – Under your spouse while they kneel.52% – Your spouse on their back, while you are between their legs.What is your favorite position for giving oral sex? Seems fewer people get what they want during oral sex than “regular” sex.

19% never use their favorite, while again, only 10% use their favorite every time. How often do you use this position while receiving oral sex? I tried to think of all the possible variations, but being on your back with your spouse between your legs seems to be the winner.

8% – Sitting with your spouse kneeling/sitting between your legs.

46% – On your back, spouse between your legs.

13% – On your back, spouse beside you leaning over.

What is your favorite position for receiving oral sex? 3% never use their favorite position, and only 10% use their favorite every time. How often do you use this position during sex? Apparently I should have had a side by side (spooning, or facing) as that wasn’t represented in the options. I was a little surprised by how high rear entry scored, I expected it to be well behind the others.

28% – “Standard” man on top (missionary position).

What is your favorite position for “regular” sex? Are you happy with the quality of sex in your marriage?ĥ9% said yes leaving 41% saying no. Are you happy with the quantity of sex in your marriage?ġ% said they’d like to have less, 68% said they’d like to have more leaving only 31% who are happy with the quantity of sex. The average given was 2.0 times per week. Simple answersĪs usually, we’ll just run through the simple answers first: Genderġ73 female respondents, 343 male and 11 who abstained for sharing, giving us a total of 527, though the 11 who abstained will of course need to be exclude for any data comparisons using gender. So, thank you for everyone who responded, for those who didn’t…shame on you 🙂 So, without further ado, let’s get on to the results. That seemed to work, because we got them. And I decided to hold out doing the analysis until we hit 500 respondents.

At the request of a few readers, I ran a survey a week and a bit ago asking people what their favorite positions were during sex.
