How often do the French make love? To what extent do men and women use sex toys? Are “transgressive” practices more reported among the young population? We tell you everything!

Sexuality is one of the pillars of good health according to the WHO. Sexuality or rather sexualities as this part of our intimacy can be realized in different ways.

To find out more regarding the French people’s relationship to sex, a survey was conducted by the brand of intimate products My Lubie in partnership with the libertine site Wyld. The average age of the respondents was 30 years old, and three quarters of the respondents were women.

First point that makes the most talk: the frequency of reports. In total, 30% of respondents think that the French have on average one to two reports per week. And 17% set this figure at three. Far from reality since 23.1% of French people make love three times a week, 19.3% twice a week, 19.1% once a week, 15% twice a month, 6.2% once times per month…

No contraception for more than a third of French people

For 74% of respondents, sexuality is essential to well-being. A point unanimously accepted by 84% of men. While for 71% of women, sexuality is only one element of well-being among many others.

Contrary to popular belief, the youngest are not necessarily the most in tune with this point: for 69% of 15-25 year olds, sexuality contributes to well-being. But this figure reaches 73% among 26-35 year olds, 80% for 36-45 year olds, 89% (46-55 year olds) and 85% for those aged 56 and over. Mirroring this data, 77% of French people believe that their quality of life would be better if their sexuality improved “. Among them, a majority of people aged 51 to 55.

Surprisingly, on the other hand, nearly one in four French people (36.6%) does not use contraception.

Men use sex toys as much as women

In terms of devices associated with pleasure, 42% of men and 44% of women say they use sex toys from time to time, far from the cliché of female masturbation using a vibrator alone. And 39% of men use several, once morest 6% of women.

Finally, on the side of slightly more transgressive practices, it happens that ” age favors voyeurism, exhibitionism and candaulism “. BDSM and bondage being the practices with the most followers, all age groups combined.

To note : at the beginning of sexuality, when there is still time to talk regarding education and pedagogy, 27% of 15-17 year olds feel that they have had comprehensive sexuality lessons, compared to 13% among 26-30 year olds. Proof of an improvement on this subject with the younger generation.
