Couples who are highly religious are more likely to be satisfied with their sex life than those who are less religious or who claim no religion...
While both women and men in highly religious couples reported significantly higher overall relationship quality and satisfaction with their sex life, the results in both cases were strongest for women in these couples. In fact, women in highly religious relationships are about 50% more likely to report that they are strongly satisfied with their sexual relationship than their secular and less religious counterparts...
“Highly religious” couples were defined as those who attend services at least 2-3 times a month. “Less/mixed” religious couples were those who attend services once per month or less, or that include one partner who regularly attends and another partner who rarely or never attends. “Shared secular” couples were those who never attend religious services. “We also found that married couples reported significantly higher levels of relationship quality than cohabiting couples,”...
The sad part is that majority in any subgroup are not satisfied with their sexual relationship with their partner.
This likely explains the entire difference. Especially consider many more patriarchal societies such as those in Latin America were also surveyed.More likely to say they are satisfied in a survey =/= in fact got more enjoyment. There's no real way to measure it objectively speaking.
But if your entire belief system is that you serve your husband in all manner including sexually (per monotheistic religions), you're very likely to answer a survey very positively if that is what your relationship is. That's different than actually having a more fulfilling relationship...

Churches provide alot of activities that families participate in together, and also have counseling resources. Provides a good support network for couples.
I disagree with degrees of religious being equated with church attendance tho. I know people who attend church more than once a week every week. People who read the Bible all the time. People here on the forum that claim to be very religious. Forget it, they are some of the most 'unChristian' people I can think of. (Sorry, Christianity is where I have my most common shared experience.)
There also appears to be a slight J-Curve in overall relationship quality, which is interesting:
How about this.
People are more likely to be religious when they have less sexual appetite and are looking for something else in life.
Then when they get sex once a year, they're happy with this. Whereas someone who craves sex all the time needs lots of difference in sex.
The measurement used is in the chart I think you are referencing is "Strongly Agree". Presumably there was also an "Agree" option.
You Definitely do not know any religious couples.
I'm not really sure you get my point.
I have actually seen a lot of studies where Mormon women are extremely unhappy.
Oh, I get what you were saying. Your supporting assumption was simply, very, very, hilariously, wrong.Those married couples are having more sex, not less, and any familiarity whatsoever with religious couples would have (hopefully) kept you from writing the foolish thing you did.
So, no worriesYou just didn't know that you didn't know.

"In fact, Phelps began to spend more and more time in his
bedroom, cut off from his family except when they were needed to run
errands for him; cut off except for his wife, whom he forced to remain
with him in his bedroom for days at a time. Apparently the pastor's
sexual appetites were voracious, and his emotional dependency even
greater: Says Mark, "Mom had to spend the major portion of her day
sitting next to him in bed, trying to say the right things to keep him
calm, while he bitched and moaned and complained and railed and carried
on."
1. I live, move, and counsel in this community. Your characterisation is inaccurate.Firstly, the two charts posted do not say that religious people are having more sex.
It says they're more satisfied with the sex they're getting. And satisfied is a subjective term. It also says that highly religious people claim to be happier in their relationship.
If your point was to prove that religious people are banging like rabbits. You failed.
Nothing you've posted suggests they have more sex. So.... unless you prove it, I'm not buying it. Try again.
I think you might want to read the story of Fred Phelps, the founder of the Westboro Baptist Church, as written by his son.
Oh yes, I'm sure that's a representative anecdote :roll:

2. The stats are also pretty clear that married couples (which would disproportionately include the religious traditional married couples being discussed) have significantly more sex than unmarried adults.
3. Christian marriage counseling material actually generally encourages regular sex - generally every three or so days is a number I seen thrown out fairly commonly. Usually, given the disparity in sex drives, this is more of a surprise for the women then the men.
3b. But take a look at the sexually satisfied men. You really think they are getting laid once a year, or very rarely?
You must not know many, if you know any

Also, there are different types of Christians. I'm assuming you're not a Catholic, a segment of Christianity which certainly does NOT encourage a lot of sex.
Seeing how Catholics make up 23% of the US.....
