Women and men reported they had sex an average of six times in the past month, which is pretty standard for people in their twenties, thirties and forties. Of course, those are just averages—some people didn’t have any sex last month, while others were getting it on every day (don’t you people have jobs?). When it came to porn and masturbation, men—who, on average, watched porn ten times and masturbated 17 times in the past month—pulled ahead of women, who came in at two times and seven times, respectively.
We asked: “True or false: Orgasms from a vibrator are better than orgasms from a partner.” Though 61 percent of women said false, more than a quarter said true and 13 percent felt they were about the same. Women were pretty evenly split when it came to favorite vibrators, with about half opting for a silver bullet or other similar clitoral-only vibrator, and the other half opting for Rabbit-like clitoral/vaginal vibrators. About 10 percent were all about G-spot toys. When it came to whether pocket pussies were a good stand-in for a partner, most men skipped this question or answered, “What the hell is a pocket pussy?” Of those who answered, 8 percent said they’d gladly sub the fake for the real. All I’m going to say on this topic is that the men I have gifted with pocket pussies (a.k.a. masturbation sleeves) love them until they break them (they tear after repeated or vigorous use). The most recent giftee, who was skeptical at first, later wrote a thank-you e-mail that included phrases like “holy crap” and “kudos to science.”
You were pretty split on your masturbation—53 percent like it dry, the rest lube it up. Porn is only slightly clearer: 58 percent are all about no plot, just sex; 17 percent want a story line; 22 percent didn’t have anything against porn but said it wasn’t for them, and the rest just disliked porn on moral grounds.
Your favorite part of sex? A whopping 90 percent of you were evenly split between feeling connected to your partner, getting off and giving your partner a good time. A sappy 10 percent of you were most into the “expressing love” part of it. Hope that honeymoon lasts, sugar!
People’s favorite position was evenly split between doggy style, missionary and woman on top—with a few folks indicating reverse cowgirl/cowboy. Then there were the write-ins. Sure, there were the expected ones (69, seated, standing, side scissors). But I had to give out a few awards, too. Mushiest: a dozen or so “spooning” comments. Most flexible: a tie between the yoga-inspired plow and the split missionary (man on top, woman leg split with one leg over her head). Most theatrical: reverse cowboy/cowgirl “with cowboy boots on.” Most athletic: sex while wearing “running shoes for traction.” Most Olympic (if you count synchronized swimming): the couple who likes to do it in the pool “so we have floating variations of all of the above.” Most curious: something involving an exercise ball (sadly, no details were provided—write me, I want more!). Our favorite: “No preference, whatever delivers for her.” (Sigh.)
