Some people believe that married adults have less sex than their unmarried peers. However, data from the General Social Survey suggests the opposite, especially among women. Married women are significantly more likely to have frequent sex than their unmarried counterparts, with 53% of married mothers and 56% of married childless women reporting having sex at least once a week. On the other hand, only 36% of unmarried mothers and 31% of unmarried childless women reported the same. It turns out marriage does not mean dead bedrooms.
