Sex and Dating Facts

August 18, 2009

I stumbled across the old story about women's hemlines rising in good economic times and lowering in bad ones and decided to see what other weird facts I could find.

  1. Husbands who kiss their wives in the morning before leaving for work live five years longer than those who don't.
  2. 33% of women who have affairs think their marriages are happy vs. 56% of men.
  3. 40% of women think a man's education is more important than his looks.
  4. Couples in which the woman earns more are 50% more likely to end in divorce than couples where the man earns more.
  5. An average man or woman will go on roughly 100 dates before they get married.
  6. 400 million people have sex each day, that's 1 out of 17. As a matter of fact 4,000 people around the world are going at it right now!
  7. It's time to get rid of the "I have a headache" excuse, endorphins released during sex actually relieve headaches.
  8. Your chances of enjoying a blind date that was put together by a friend - 17%. So much for your friends knowing your taste!
  9. A healthy man produces 1,000 sperm per second. No wonder they spend so much time in the bathroom!
  10. On average, a man will thrust 225 times during sex. That's it? No wonder 75% of women don't have orgasms during intercourse!
