Of course single people are having more sex than married people!

-The social stigma of premarital sex is nearly gone.
-Many of these single people experienced parents with miserable marriages and don't want to follow the same pattern.
-With advances in birth control and disease prevention, there's very little risk involved anymore.

Why wouldn't they?

Bits of me are dying but others are growing. One step at a time.

"In recent history, there have never been as many unmarried adults as there are right now."

Hey, that bodes well for those of us who have either divorced or are planning/thinking about it in the future.

The further away from my SM I get, the more I question how important is "the number" of sexual encounters a person has? Quality of life/quality of a relationship can't always be summed up by numbers. Once you find yourself in a happy relationship with the amount of sex one needs to be happy, it becomes a non-issue and other needs come into play to help build/create a fulfilling, meaningful life.

Those who feel lovable, who love, and who experience belonging simply believe they are worthy of love and belonging. - Brene Brown

I'm far from convinced that the basic premise is correct.

I know that when I was single - and in periods when I had a girlfriend - that I would root at every available opportunity.

But the fact of the matter was that for most of the time I did NOT have a girlfriend.
And in those 'girlfriendless' periods I was not doing any rooting at all.
