Compare the frequency of sexual intercourse of partnered men with those of married men. What are the reasons for the differences?

What will be an ideal response?


The National Survey of Sexual Health and Behavior (NHHSB) found that partnered men reported more frequent vaginal intercourse than did married men. This is consistent with a research study on a large, representative sample of adults in which cohabiting persons reported having intercourse 11 to 13 times per month, while married persons reported a frequency of 8 to 11 times per month. A possible explanation for these differences could be that cohabiters are concerned about the stability of their relationships and engage in sex more frequently in the hope that it will strengthen the relationship.
