Unfortunately my life is very much like a movie then.
zing! naww..
One of my parents did have a lot of sex while they were still married, that much is true.
No worries, they’re free of each other now, and they’re both better for it.
ZING!
yes indeed. i knew your mom
Oh snap!
why people are afraid to open to each other when it comes to sex because sex is like game for married people and unmaried
This chart is weird… married people don’t have sex in real life OR movies…
The married bars should at least show a bell curve.
oops. the real-life bars should be a bell curve
Pssshhh
Sucks to be you then if that’s your experience, which is very different from my married experience apparently.
Yes, due to the “married” bars, this is definitely a GRAPH FAIL.
Don’t forget the lack of a label on the bottom axis. Graph fail all around!
Argh it’s sideways >.<
Well sucks for you guys then, I’m married and me and my wife have sex all the time.
with each other?
epic win!
Are there kids? If there are no kids yet, check back with us when there are kids.
My husband and I have 4 kids….and it’s rare that we do NOT have sex..and yes with each other!
All 6 of you?!?!
No, pedophile, my husband and I.
why are people’s names randomly related when it comes to replies?
why do you follow suit with a question on the behavior?
Hmmm… We have a kid, and I’d say for us it’s been pretty much like the real-life part of this graph up until she was born, then back down to somewhere between the “dating” and “engaged” level. And yes, it’s with each other.
I also have 2 kids and my husband’s and my sex life (yes, with each other for you stupid people) is extremely healthy.
How long you been married, about a week?
Just got married…. and the sex has stopped.
Getting married drastically changes sex.
That’s why all those conservative Christians who didn’t do it before are so happy and have lots of kids.
i don’t think that conservative christians who played by all the rules have an accurate concept of just how much sexual activity we decadent heathens are capable of without provisos like marriage and fidelity.
also, how soon after i marry my girlfriend do i have to stop sleeping with her hot friends?
you never have to.
The Bible actually encourages sex in a married relationship. I don’t know why people think Christians don’t like or can’t have sex. The belief that sex is only for reproduction is a Catholic one, and is not commonly held among Christians (or even commonly adhered to by Catholics themselves).
The Bible explicitly implies that sex is for both pleasure and reproduction. The only caveat is that sex is specifically for married relationships only. So yes, the graph is pretty much correct. I have been married for 3 years, and my wife and I have sex all the time, with one kid and another on the way (and yes only with each other).
You may want to look at Song of Solomon in the bible. The whole book is about sex, a woman and her lover, and waiting until marriage for sex.
http://www.youversion.com/bible/niv/song/1/1
uh huh. the old testament also demands the death penalty for misdemeanors and genocide as a de facto foreign policy. so, yeah, i’ll be taking my cues on sexual conduct from a different source, thanks.
christians are more likely to take it in the ass before marriage. DO WANT
I have no idea why people think Christians don’t like sex either. Studies have shown that people who go to church and pray together have happier marriages and happier sex lives! I think the world is bound and determined to believe every silly thing about religions they hear b/c it is the cool thing to do these days. And b/c of the religious wackos that tell everyone they are going to Hell. The only person that can tell you that you belong in Hell is God. Anyway, I’m rambling. Wanted to say it is nice to see another Christian out there in the world and I admire that you can back up what you say with scripture. God bless
“Wanted to say it is nice to see another Christian out there in the world”
Christians make up a third of mankind; you’re bound to run into one sometime! It’s like like y’all are in danger or anything.
Unless, of course, by “Christian” you actually mean “Christian who shares my views”
Don’t want to hate, but I’s just saying…
I’m going to disagree marriage is a joke. I don’t see what the hell the big deal is. I have been with my g/f for 4 years and have absolutely no plans what so ever of marrying her. First off tax breaks not worth the cost of marriage and I’m definantly not getting married becuase it’s what good christian would do because that is the biggest joke in the whole wide world.
Well, it’s not like you have to choose between marrying for religious reasons and not marrying. If you want to have kids, than marriage (a stable, two-parent relationship, essentially, Gay or Straight) is best.
There ya go.
I like this graph
Agreed… I think they mixed up the colors for this graph.
Single and sad to say my life is like Real Life…
I hear ya. High five! Left hand though
If masturbation is sex, then real life trumps the movies.
LOL srsly
LOL! Everyone knows when you get married the first thing that stops is the sex, the second is diet. Once you put the ring on their finger it’s like pulling the cord on an emergency raft FWOOSH! They balloon up like crazy
(>’-')> – - – *PEW PEW!*
3 years ago, I wouldn’t have agreed with you….
But, being married now, it is so true.
*masturbates*
And here I thought being the female half of the equation meant we wouldn’t have that problem…
Eff, had I know that would happen, I would have just stayed engaged forever… *sighs*
If I were your wife I’d rather eat than sleep with you too.
ha ha! nice one.
TRUTH!
Best graph in ages. Win.
Anyone else notice how there hasn’t been a single pie chart in the last 2 days? Are the Graph Jam mods mad at the pie chart?
if this graph is true, then I’m looking forward to a lot more sex in about a year
Yep, it’s true. Hubby and I have way more sex (with each other) than the single people around us. Marriage is AWESOME!
Agreed! I bet these people that are saying that “sex stops once marriage begins” are not married and never have been.
i bet i have more sex and with more people than you have had in your entire life and I’m only 22.
SLUT WIN
Marriage=hairy palms
My husband and I have sex all the time (with each other), and we’ve had two kids and been married almost 8 years. The longer we’ve been married the more often we “play”.
Win!
Hey, cool, my life is like the movies.
i hope your single my friend
hoopy, you may be, but do you know where your towel is?
…and how often do they regret it?
i was with my husband for 5 years before we got married and we have more sex now than we ever did when we were dating. i saw him almost every day for a year before the marriage, and we had sex often, but not nearly as often as we do now. marriage is what you make of it. if you don’t love the other person completely, and if you don’t appreciate them, then don’t expect anything, especially more sex.
THIS.
It’s not so true in my life this stadistic graphic… I have never made love regularly… Hehehe…
I just find it sad if you are married and hardly have sex. That’s not right. lol. you want to have sex? find some time and get intimate.
Otherwise being single, i totally agree…i dont have sex as much as the young adults on tv.
How could that possibly be a lol situation?
Because typically people were sad on that day but she’s happy because now she can have sex without hiding it from him lol
Because she wasn’t charged with anything.
I totally agree with this one. If you’re married and you don’t follow the graph, you suck at picking spouses.
Then unquestionably I sucked big time. Married a virgin (she wouldn’t before the big day). Found out she never really liked sex. Once our family was as large as we wanted, it didn’t matter (to her) if we ever had sex again. In more than 10 years of marriage, I don’t think our ‘all the way’ counter hit triple digits.
She’s not my wife anymore.
Sorry mate, but I dont think you were doing it right.
Advice and Truth Win!
you need a new reason for marrying
I love this graph! Definitely true for me (and my husband. Together).
I also find the movie side interesting–why don’t they portray couples with a healthy sex life? (I guess it’s neither inherently funny nor violent?) Sexy does not have to go out the window because of commitment!
The cool thing is I can barely keep up with my wife’s sex drive; awesome! The bad news it cuts into my World of Warcraft time…
ha!
If anyone shares what I like in movies its that I want to be entertained. It’s a fair safe place to think I’m Bond and can do all those amazing things and women as well!
I HATE it when Hollywood goes all preachy and political and enviro-whacko or always has to have some agenda. No, I don’t want to “think” when I go to the movies! Not at all! I get that everywhere else. I go to movies to escape that crap.
But I digress.
I think people want from the moveis what they don’t get in real life. So yeah, happy, married, healthy, family oriented couples… that’s like a recipe for a bomb movie! Shame though. I bet the could come up with something between a Disney G movie and “Mr. and Mrs. Smith” that would do well.
But I digest…
I just really want someone to say that, just once.
A girl at work last night asked me what my -ethnicicity- was. lolwut
So, you go to see movies to scape from your crappy life?
don’t most people?
That marriage bar is WAAAAAAAY too long. Unless we’re attempting to reproduce, my wife and I have sex approximately once every three weeks.
There is no time…!
Really? I’ve been married about a year and… well, let’s just say I don’t think a week has ever gone by without something happening.
I remember there was some study about married people’s sex lives vs. in relationship vs. single… married people had sex more regularly and also had anal sex more than the other groups (something like a third of them). Apparently when both spouses work full time, though, the sex is much less often (understandably…)
ALL ANAL ALL THE TIME
My husband and I have one daughter, I don’t work and our sex life is fantastic. We have sex about 3-5 times a week normally, and if we’re on vacation, we have it every day, sometimes twice in one day. Our sex life has actually gotten better since we got married and started procreating. We’re more open with each other and we work extra hard to keep the fires burning brightly. My hubby tells me I’m no “ordinary” woman but I don’t get why more couples don’t do it.
..see this is my idea of an ideal marriage
:p
Please come back when your husband has to pull the kind of overtime i do and let me know how that works out.
My husband works anywhere from 50-60 hours a week at his day job, that includes at work and at home when his phone rings constantly, and also has clients from his side jobs (he does computer networking and securities) that he gets calls from all hours of the day, 3-5 days a week is average for us, some days more than once a day. And again I say we also have 4 kids, 2 of whom are in extra curricular activities, and the youngest are 2 yr old twins. You have to make time for your spouse and your relationship. If not, when the kids are grown and gone, you are left married to a stranger. I agree with TGra “I don’t get why more couples don’t do it.”
My husband and I have three kids, have been together 20 years, and have sex with each other around five times a week, which is actually a slow down from a few years ago when it was 10-12 times a week. So I think this graph is pretty accurate, in that for us, anyway, the whole no-sex-after-marriage thing is a total myth.
5 times each week for 20 years?
It’s not a total myth. This happens to way to many couples for various reasons. And since it’s unlikely that two people with no sexual drive would marry in the first place, it’s a major problem for the relationship.
It’s particularly sad for followers of Christianity – the only major religion that does not provide a way to undo a marriage, which leaves lots of people miserable for life. Either because they are stuck in a relationship with a person that does not want to have sex with them (or vice versa) or because they split and form new relationships in which they have sex and this means adultery, a grave sin in the view of their religion.
I don’t know what kind of Christians you know. All of the Christians I know think it is ok to get divorced, under the right circumstances. You can’t get divorced for just any reason, but if there is violence in the relationship, or one spouse cheats on the other, then divorce is ok. Christians just discourage divorce because they believe that you shouldn’t get married unless you pray about it and you believe God wants you to marry that person. You need to be absolutely sure before you get married.
I live in Poland, so Roman Catholicism is the only strand of Christianity I know. Let me tell you: in Roman Catholic doctrine it’s not only “not OK” to divorce, it is impossible. Once you marry, you stay married as long as both partners are alive, no matter that the spouse may do to you. The only thing you could do is to separate and pray for the other person to mend their ways.
In a very limited number of cases a marriage may be annulled by a court of canonical law – esp. when of the partners concealed important facts making them unfit to enter into marriage like being married to someone else of being mentally ill. Whatever happens after valid marriage is formed, like one the partners cheating or going crazy or violent, does not provide grounds for annulling the marriage.
In my personal opinion this is not mandated by divine law, but simply is an invention of man which is very effective at generating enormous amounts of guilt, along with other restrictions on sexuality imposed by Roman Catholic church, like prohibition of effective methods of birth control. Guilt in turn is what fuels the dependence of the followers on the Church – the sole distributor of divine forgiveness, and indirectly generates revenue for the institution. A tremendously effective mechanism, as evidenced by the financial success of the Roman Catholic Church over the centuries.
I find the religions that promote direct personal relationship with the Divine so much more humane…
Oh it all makes sense now. Sorry, but I don’t really think Catholic or Roman Catholic when I think Christian. Mainly b/c where I am from there are hardly any Catholics, and b/c they pray to the saints, which is something I don’t think is a Christian idea, just a Catholic one. And yes, sadly the Catholic church is great at keeping people afraid of God by teaching them bogus crap. It says in the Bible that marriage is for life, but Jesus taught to forgive and forget. If someone wants a divorce, sure it may be a sin, but so what? They are human, forgive them and forget about it. There are no such things are cardinal sins. The only unforgivable sin is the rejection of the Holy Spirit. I really wish people would just read the Bible (and other holy books) for themselves and have their own interpretation of it instead of listening to whatever junk falls out of other people’s mouths. You are very eloquent with your argument. I always enjoy some intelligent conversation.
“sadly the Catholic church is great at keeping people afraid of God by teaching them bogus crap.”
*rolls eyes*
yeah, it’s a good thing other sects of christianity (or religions in general) are NOTHING like those wacky papists, then they might start doing stuff like speaking in gibberish, dunking each other in water, drinking symbolic blood of their deity’s kid, and playing hot potato with rattlesnakes.
Honestly, the only reason Christians think this graph is accurate is because nobody could tolerate their nonsense long enough to sleep with them before they got married.
Props to you!
My husband and I have lots of sex when we’re on the same schedule…though sadly, that is not the case lately. I do plan to rape him when he gets home from work though, in his sexy uniform. Too bad we’ll only have 45 min. before I have to leave for work. >:(
coincidentally, your husband just emailed me with :
“Luckily we’ll only have 45 min. before she has to leave for work.
”
Ha! he’ll leave her for you… he promises.
My husband and I have sex all the time. He’s so awesome!
Two words: citation needed.
Actually, I would have people getting some during single, more during dating, a lot during engagement, and then none again in marrige.
Who are *you* married to?
Um, married people are supposed to have sex? News to me. My wife and I have sex about once a month.
Umm… I think you have it backwards
Agreed, wrong way round.
how can you be single and have sex, unless you are doing yourself?
dude people have sex when they aren’t in relationships. someone isn’t required to be your significant other for you to have sex with them.
*sigh*
old people…
drunk girls are always DTF.
Wow! A graph designed by an average single guy.
LOL.
I have way more sex than that and I’m single
this is completely stupid
Here’s some actual stats. http://marriage.about.com/cs/sexualstatistics/a/sexstatistics.htm
My husband and I have more sex married then we did when we were dating. I was actually kinda worried that I wouldnt be happy w/ the frequency before we got married. But its good now. Before we were married it was 2-4 times a month, now its 4-8 times a month. I would be happy w/ more but this graph isnt about wifes who want more sex its about frequency over status.
Oh we dated 2 years, lived w/engaged about 2 yrs, married almost 6 yrs, no kids. Different schedules. He works nights I work days.
Oh and side note I didnt give oral until we were married. Maybe that why theres more. LOL
My wife and I have been married for almost ten years, and abstained from sex for our nearly three-year engagement. We are both dedicated Christians and are happy with our decision of waiting. I’m a lucky guy too, because she generally wants sex far more often than I do. An average week is about twice, but if it were up to her, it would be every day, and possibly multiple times in a day. (*Possibly… who am I kidding!*)
Those that get married for and stay dedicated to God’s plan will never be disappointed. If you want to find a faithful lover who will satisfy your every non-adulterous fantasy, marry a Christian.
