Do single people have sex more often then people in a relationship?

[Twalli]

I keep hearing about single people having a lot of sex with a lot of different people, but those in relationships don't really talk that much about it. Is it because people in relationships are assumed to have regular sex and therefore it's not really talked about?

[Miristheiss]

I wouldn't say "single" but I'd guess that, overall... not all couples but with the vast majority, couples that are new... in the honeymoon phase of being in their first 3 to 6 months... they probably have the most sex. They have a partner they are with all the time and they are having sex all the time. If you are single... you still have to meet someone and get them to date you and most times you have to go on a few dates before you have sex even once.

Couples in the early honeymoon phase have the most.
Long term... those couples have to work on dating and courting each other and not stopping that to avoid the routine of life and the patterns you get into where you get a little bored of the other... or you let kids dampen your sex life.

Couple that "win" their mate and then rest... they no longer need to try or put worth effort will grow bored with each other. Those that keep dating, keep courting, keep doing fun things and going out will keep the spark.

It depends on who you are and what your values are. In my experience yes. I typically have friends with benefits relationships. In that phase I am technically single but having sex with one person and doing it A LOT. The same thing with fuck buddies. I am technically single but invest in having sex with one person A LOT.

Whereas in a relationship I am taking but the sex is no different.

It depends on what you mean though. You can have a lot of sex with one partner if the relationship is good. Or you can have multiple partners a year but if they are hookups then its not consistent enough sex to be as much as a relationship over the course of a year. Someone could have a high body count but less sex than someone who has been with a long term partner.

Still in my experience when you are in a committed relationship and not just a honeymoon phase of a fuck buddy or hookup the sex tapers off a bit. when you are single you meet with a fuck buddy maybe 2 or 3 times per week and have a lot of sex because it is new and fresh. With a partner you are doing more cuddling and kissing and doing other beautiful and satisfying things beyond just sex.

[SashaAMB]

What is the difference between fuck buddies and friends with benefits? I thought those were the same but you make them sound different...

[Cynicaldreamer]

HAHAHA!
If that's true, I definitely missed that memo. No, not necessarily.

I've been single for years and I can assure you, I don't have sex all the time. Now I might be the exception, and this might depend on each individual... I've love to hear other single peoples feedback on the situation. But most single people aren't running around having sex all the time. Most of us can't even find a freaking relationship, hence why we're still single (lol).

Personally I think people in a relationship can have as much, if not more sex, than a single person, depending on said relationship. Most couples just don't discuss their sex lives, or they just make false assumptions towards singles thinking life is easier or better for them compared to people in relationships.

[have_a_good_day]

There we go.

I've been single for 13 years now and haven't had sex once in those 13 years.
Pretty sure they're gonna make a movie about me

[Dazed0N0Confused]

When I was single, it sucked looking for "play dates", I didn't have a lot of sex. When I'm in a relationship, I have sex more frequently, almost daily, sometimes multiple times a day.
So no, I don't think singles are "having more sex" I think they're just more vocal about it, especially if their sex life with their ex was subpar or not as frequent as they would've liked.
That's not saying that SOME SINGLES aren't having ALL THE SEX, but I think it's over exaggerated.

[razelove]

When I was single, well, I was single, so unless I lined up friends with benefits, or NSA situations it was likely 1-3 weeks that I would go before I could find someone new to sleep with. Depending on the season, what mood I was in, and really just dumb luck.

Being married, more like 1-3 days, with 3 days being recovery time needed from some rough play. I'll be honest too, though I can and have had other women with my wife, dating really just makes me appreciate what I have that much more. So much effort put into someone that will cease to exist for me a day, week, month later. It isn't that I can't anymore, I just don't see the point when I've got what I want.

[MrNameless]

I disagree. Especially with covid.

It's been proven that people in relationships have more sex. Accessibility is the #1 thing. As long as you keep the romance going and do chores, it will happen more often.

Vs singles.. could be a variety of reasons why they aren' getting some. Because they aren't socially savant, waiting for the right person/serious relationship. I think random hookups atm are nearly dead during these times, and maybe people that are friends with benefits are still at it, but don't think that reflects the majority of single sexual activity atm. I could be wrong, but I am positive that people in relationships have more sex than singles.

[Twalli]

I guess I mean in general. Obviously COVID-19 changescthe whole situation. I don't recall hearing much about OnlyFans until after COVID-19 hit and we were quarantined.

[Walt832]

I am single. Yes I do have sex but not like on a relationship; one person and have random rounds during the week (s) and committed.

As a single person I have sex rarely but at least I am not tied to the person. BUT condoms is a must compare being in a relationship and not worrying. I just enjoy the variety of females features 😉.

So if you ever see anyone saying single and have sex mostly every day. Probably the only way that will be 🤷‍♂️ hookers. Otherwise just dreaming and wishing.

[Glasgow55]

There are a lot of advantages to being married/in a serious relationship. Love, comfort, care, companionship. In my marriage, we are honest and open about everything. When I want sex, my wife obliges - anytime, day or night. If she doesn't want to enjoy sex herself at that particular time, she'll give me oral and handjob. So, for me, I have HEAPS more sex now, compared to when I was single. However, there's a difference. Being single meant different partners, some for a longer time than others, and some just for one night. So the great thing about being single is the variety. I love being able to have sex whenever I want, but i miss the variety; that thrill when you see a girls breasts for the first time; are they bananas, bazookas, tiny, huge, perfect? Then seeing a new girl naked for the first time, and going down on a new pussy. I miss all that, but on balance, I think I prefer being married. Or do I...

[Skankhunt]

If he is single, it depends on himself. Maybe he wants a lot of sex, or maybe he doesn't want to have a lot of sex.

If he is in a relationship, it depends on his girlfriend. If your girlfriend doesn't want to have sex you you, you can't force her. Fact is, being in a relationship or marriage, the spark will eventually fade away, therefore, you get less sex, intimacy, less love. 50% of marriages will end in a divorce. If you are in a relationship, your end goal isn't getting married, but staying married and therefore keeping the spark intact.

[DizzyDesii]

I think couples go more rounds. Single people prob go “more people” 😂 literally they can have one night stands with randoms daily. But i bet they won't get multiple rounds from the same person on the daily like couples.

[DrunkAss]

I definitely had more when single but you got that sort of initial discovery thing. There's not much effort required there; curiosity takes over. After marriage, you get used to routine stuff a lot like laundry and what to eat for dinner every single day and it gets a bit tougher. You gotta sorta mix it up then.

[JPrez]

Usually the top tier of men who have the height, looks, charm and money. The next tier of guys probably gets some but not nearly as much as those guys and so on and so forth until you get down to the poor guys with no game, no looks, no car, no nothing. Women is a different tier of singles because they have more control over when to have sex so it's going to vary with them. This is just a broad generalization so please no haters.

[bamesjond0069]

People in relationships have more sex. Even me. Im definitely whats known as a Chad. I keep like 3 of 4 friends with benefits at a time when single. I often double dip like see more than one in a day. But tbh its some work. When i have a girl friend i just bang her 15x a day. Its an exaggeration but its more sex in a relationship than single. And i doubt anyone single is having more sex than me tbh short of the skankiest whore women who are doing gangbangs and stuff.

[LogicalGal123]

Yes! Why? Because when u are in a relationship, in the beginning is the honeymoon phase. Either u have sex almost every or 3 times a week to once a month or once a blue moon. Where being single, it's whenever u are in the mood u just call the people on ur list OR dating apps OR go to places where u can do one night stands. 🤷🏻‍♀️

[MysteriousDarkness]

@LogicalGal123
It's not always as easy as you are trying to make it seem.

[BrosephBrostar]

I'm going to go out on a limb and assume that where you keep hearing about single people having a lot of sex is social media. Social media is also completely fake. It's usually people only posting the highlight reels of their life, if they're not just outright lying.

Millennials are having less sex than previous generations and are staying single much longer. I'd be willing to bet single people are having way less sex than those in a relationship.

[DiscomfortZone]

Lmfao. It's because people in relationships aren't so insecure to keep reporting when and how they have sex. Singles, on the other hand, often are. They attempt to compensate for their failures at finding a true romantic bond by spreading campfire stories about their sex lives. It's really quite pathetic if you think about it.

[TheFlak38]

it all depends wether the woman has moved in with the man. If yes then the sex decrease steadily over time. Once you've given safety to a woman and commit to her she fucks your life over. You can forget about sex. Unless you keep your distance and play with her insecurities you're getting nothing.

[Twalli]

I told her that if she tries to use sex to control me I will shove her out the door.

[FatherJack]

No , most women CAN do , but the vast majority choose not to , women typically have a much lower sex drive than men do & casual sex is not really for most women. And for men , only a small percentage have any options & opportunities to have sex , the complete opposite of women. Unless they pay for it.

[AquaGem]

I think it might be more of a privacy thing. When in a relationship you really kinda want to keep that info between the parties to the relationship, it's just the right thing to do. But just throwing this out there, millennials are having the least sex of any generation prior (that we've got numbers for anyway). Blame technology for that one. But sex robots are no longer a sci-fi concept, so I'm sure this generation will be all over that.

[Anonymous]

Not in general.. but in the periods where I had a regular sex partner (friends with benefits kinda thing) I mostly had more sex than many of my friends in relationship, like 2-3 times a week.
And surely, if I wanted to, I could choose to have sex more or less everyday. This is an option when you are not committed to one person, but most women will not want that anyway.

[Light_beam]

why most women won't want that?

[Opinion Owner]

@Light_beam many women need a connection beyond the physical, risk of STDs and pregnancy, not that high libido and other things they want to do in life besides fucking.

[Light_beam]

um and you? do you do that? have sex with many guys at the same period?

[Opinion Owner]

@Light_beam no.. I prefer just one regular stable guy

[mizakazim6996]

Couples always have more sex than singles. Couples who have kids that are older than 4 usually have less sex because of time but it’s also more than singles.


Imagine your fridge is full of food - couples
Imagine you have to go grocery to find food - singles.

[EssenceOfLight]

Yes, but you have to direct your entire energy into it. Even if girls are interested in you, they don't let you in their panties after one date. Reality isn't like "sex in the city" where everyone copulates like a group of bonobos. Especially if you want to date only girls who have some class and dignity.

[spartan55]

With the very rare exception, those in relationships are ringing the bell far more often than single folks.

[WhistleForTheChoir]

Probably not on average. you're picturing the stud who is with a different chick every night of the week probably. Most single people are just kind of pathetic and sad. I said 'most' But there are going to be a lot of peoplegetting defensive here.
