But there is one problem: Americans are having less sex. From the early 1990s into the early 2000s, Americans generally had sex from about 60 to 65 times a year, according to the study. Married couples had sex an average of 56 times a year in 2014, down from 67 in 1989. Americans work longer days, but a busy work life was actually connected with higher sexual frequency. They had sex nearly 11 times during 2014, up from an average of 9.6 times in 1989.
