Not to go into any details, but it seems like by limiting it to coitus you could really be twisting the numbers. A couple could be having coitus less often than others simply because they were getting it on in any number of other ways instead. ---

1. Yes 2. 20 years. 3. _Annually?_ Damn. This is somewhat complicated by the fact that my husband’s been travelling a lot for work. He’s almost always home for the weekend, but he’s out of town monday-thursday 2 or 3 weeks a month… We do it most everyday when he’s home, though – and sometimes twice. So let’s say somewhere between 150 (low side) and 365 (high side). ---
