Trojan Probes Nation’s Sex Habits in New Study

Ever wonder which region of the country gets the most action and which region could handle a little more loving? Trojan recently released the findings from its latest U.S. Sex Census, and the prophylactic company found that the sexual habits of our nation are just as multiplied and diverse as the population. 

"There is enormous variability that exists in the sexual repertoires of U.S. adults," said Michael Reece, Ph.D., Director of the Center for Sexual Health Promotion at Indiana University. "The Sex Census adds to our understanding of sexual behavior across different parts of the country, having probed deep into the sexual landscape, reinforcing that Americans demonstrate a high comfort level in exploring with and learning from their partners."

Overall, people in the Northeast are getting in on the most, averaging 130 sexual encounters per year or 2.5 encounters per week. Surprisingly, Southerners get it the least, with the average person having sex 114 times per year or 2.1 times per week. Men and women in the Midwest get it on 125 times per year or 2.4 times per week, while Westerns enjoy a good romp in the sack 120 times per year or 2.3 times per week.

When it comes to individual cities, residents of Los Angeles and Houston get busy the most with Los Angelenos getting freaky 135 times a year and residents of Houston getting busy 125 times a year. However, frequency of sex doesn’t guarantee a high rate of sexual satisfaction. In fact, Los Angelenos reported the lowest levels of satisfaction, with 75% of citizens satisfied with their sexual encounters. Despite low levels of sexual frequency, Philadelphians report very high rates of sexual satisfaction (82% satisfied), followed by New York (81% satisfied) and Atlanta (80% satisfied).

Here are a few other interesting tidbits from Trojan’s 2010 Sex Census:

•    Across the four U.S. Census regions, the most sexually exciting place Americans have had sex is in a car (48%), followed by sex in someone else's bed (33%).
•    When asked where they would like to have sex but have not yet tried, thirty-three% of men said sex on a plane and twenty-six% of women said sex on a beach/sea.
•    Men are more likely to discuss their sex life on Facebook or Twitter (15%) compared to women (6%).
•    19% of Americans have engaged in sexting and 19% have had online sex.
•    18% have had sex with someone they met over the internet.
•    Seventy-one% of men want more sex compared to fifty-five% of females.
