The following is reprinted from a survey in Parenting Magazine....
How often moms say they want to have sex...
At least a few times a week: 85%
Once every few weeks: 8%
Once a month or less: 7%
... And how often they think they'd have it if their husbands called the shots:
At least a few times a week: 85%
Once every few weeks: 8%
Once a month or less: 7%
What do you have to say for yourselves, ladies? Time to listen to the fellas, is it?

interesting, but how is this relevant to you?
How is this relevant to me, you ask? Well, as it turns out, I, myslef, am a fella. Not only that, though. I'm a fella who, like other fellas, is likely to be in a relationship one day in which I won't be calling the shots. It's just sad to think of someone I love not getting what she wants when she wants it just because she demands to be the one deciding what she gets and when she gets it!
Being the data nerd, I can't help but point out that the moms responding to the survey aren't necessarily as in sync with husbands as it might appear at first blush. Yes, the numbers, in aggregated form are identical: 85%/8%/7%. However, the responses from particular individuals may be radically problematic.
Think about this: 7% out of the 85% of the moms that would like to have sex at least a few times a week could also have been ones who responded that their husbands would want to have sex once a month or less. The reverse could also be true. Based on that, you could have as many as 14% of couples where one partner was eager for sex at least a few times a week while the other partner only wanted to have sex less than once a month. A tragedy indeed.
I gotta stop bringing my data work into everything else I read!
why are you reading parenting magazine?
