There is a country song about when you get behind closed doors, you never know. Â That is the case whether in India or Indiana, Toronto or Tokyo, London to Laos. Sex is meant to be enjoyed and it should be something where you relax and enjoy. Â And each generation has a different approach. Â What was popular and the norm in the 50s was not so in the 70s and what goes in the 80s is definitely different from today. Â But there are some basics and here are some strange stats about what goes on behind closed doors.
Millennials are the demographic that’s had the least amount of sex
RELATED: Here’s How Often People Are Having Sex
While Baby Boomers sleep with an average of 12 people in their lifetimes, Gen Xers sleep with around 10 people. Millennials are clocking in the lowest numbers, having just eight sexual partners over their lifetimes. This trend is reflected in other studies, where millennials are reporting much less sex than previous generations.
When you’ll have the most sex
Those between the ages of 18 and 29 have the most sex, at 112 times a year (or about twice a week). Those between 30 and 39 report an average of 86 times a year and between 40 and 49, 69 times a year. This data set doesn’t report any higher—but we know that people over the age of 50 certainly have active sex lives.
