Two-thirds of sexually active Americans sometimes “wear something sexy” to enhance their sex lives, and 30 percent say they and their partner have watched sexually explicit videos. One in five — around 40 million people — say they’ve looked at porn Web sites. As many, men and women about equally, have had “rebound” sex to get over a failed relationship.

In some cases, where activity is less common, fantasy takes over. Among people who are married or living in a committed relationship (or formerly married), 16 percent have cheated on their partner (nearly twice as many men as women) — while more, 30 percent, have fantasized about it. Fourteen percent of adults (and twice as many single men) have had sex in a threesome, while an additional 21 percent have fantasized about that. Twelve percent have had sex at their workplace, and it’s been a fantasy for one in 10 more.

Overall, women report an average of six sex partners in their lifetimes; men, 20. But a better gauge of sexual activity for most people is the median, the midpoint between the high and low: Women report a median of three sex partners; men, a median of eight.

The averages are higher because a small number of individuals — especially men — report a very large number of partners. Five percent of the men in this sample reported having had 99 or more sex partners, including four who reported 200, three who reported 300 and one who reported 400. Among women, one percent reported 99 or more partners; the high was 100 (reported by two women).

	Average	Median
All	13	5
Men	20	8
Women	6	3

While there are differences between the sexes, the data are internally coherent; for example, people who report more sex partners, men and women alike, are more apt to describe themselves as adventurous sexually and to say they enjoy sex a great deal.

In another difference between the sexes, 42 percent of men report having had had sex on a first date; that drops to 17 percent of women. Again the data are coherent; women who report having had first-date sex also are much more likely to call themselves sexually adventurous, and they report many more sex partners across their lives — an average of 19, compared with an average of four for other women.

A third of adults would like to have more sex than they do now — but more men, about four in 10, than women, 28 percent. Men, as noted, are more apt to have cheated, much more apt to fantasize about it, and more than twice as likely as women to say it’s acceptable to have casual sex without an emotional relationship — “just doing it for the sex.” (That’s OK with 35 percent of men, compared with 15 percent of women.)

Women also are about half as likely as men to say they’ve had sex in a threesome, unexpectedly with someone new, or at work; and they’re less likely to fantasize about these. A third of men have fantasized about a threesome and 20 percent have fantasized about an unexpected encounter; it’s nine and 10 percent of women, respectively.

Women are more conservative about sex in other ways. They’re more apt than men to say there’s too much sex on TV, 84 percent to 62 percent. They’re less likely than men to condone sex before marriage, 54 to 68 percent. And 61 percent of sexually active women, compared with 50 percent of men, call themselves sexually traditional, not adventurous.

In other personal predilections, men are twice as likely as women to sleep in the nude (31 percent of men, 14 percent of women), and women are much more likely to prefer to have sex with the lights off (51 percent of women, 27 percent of men).

In the online realm, men are more than three times as likely as women to have looked at a sexually explicit Web site, and doing so spikes among men under 30. Relatively few — but 11 percent of young men — have participated in sex chat rooms. Women are much more likely to regard either of these activities as “being unfaithful.”
