> [@kimera](#): > > According to a [Kinsey survey](http://www.kinseyinstitute.org/resources/FAQ.html#frequency), 4 or more times per week is moderately for 18-24 year olds, but as people age, the frequency drops. For those 25+, 4 or more times per week is definitely high. In my universe, that sounds like almost celibacy. ---

You’re wrong, **MrDurden**. And thank you for telling people having sex less than you are that they are behaving in an unacceptable fashion. > [@furt](#): > > The OP is asking about people already in a relationship; data including people not in a sexual relationship (which is a hell of a lot of people at that age) is gonna skew very low. Read the cite you are quoting . . . it breaks the info out by relationship status. ---
