Twelve reasons science shows conservative women have the best sex

5. Turns Out Hookups Aren’t Very Sexy

Earlier this year I summarized another study that found: “Women are twice as likely to reach orgasm when having sex with a longtime partner as they are during a hookup. Two in five will orgasm during a hookup, but four in five will with a committed lover.”

If you want lots of fun sex, turns out marriage is your best bet for getting it. One of the most comprehensive studies comparing the sex lives of singles and married people found “less than five percent of singles between the ages of 25 and 59 have sex two-to-three times a week, while a quarter of married people do—five times the rate. Also, while 61 percent of singles reported that they hadn’t had sex within the past year, only 18 percent of married people said the same.” This and other studies found that, consequently, married people are a lot happier and in better health, because they are having sex so much more.
