Average Brit has sex twice a week (but they wish it was more!)

"On average, Brits have 105 sexual encounters per year, equating to roughly two a week. However, their ideal frequency is 144 times a year - about three times a week. The majority of people said they weren't satisfied with the frequency of their sexual activity, with only 22% of women and 26% of men saying they were 'always' satisfied with the amount of sex they were having."

"Men were almost twice as likely to orgasm during sex than women - with almost half (48 per cent) always experiencing orgasm during partnered sex, versus just under a quarter (24 per cent) of women. The results of the survey revealed that the so-called 'pleasure gap' is particularly strong amongst men."

"Surveying over 2,000 sexually active adults from across the UK, we explored not only what people are actually doing, but what they want in the bedroom and why behaviours, preferences and attitudes to sex might be changing. In Britain, our sex lives are going through a big transformation."

A Superdrug survey of 2,000 sexually active UK adults reveals a notable 'pleasure gap' in British sex lives. Respondents reported averaging 105 sexual encounters annually, approximately twice weekly, while their ideal frequency is 144 times yearly, roughly three times weekly. Only 22% of women and 26% of men report always being satisfied with their sexual frequency. Men show a stronger pleasure gap, with nearly 40% desiring sex 2-3 times weekly. Additionally, only one in three Brits consistently orgasm during partnered sex, with men almost twice as likely to orgasm regularly compared to women. The survey examined changing attitudes, behaviors, and preferences regarding sexuality among British adults.
