Fwiiw, I suspect that there is some, possibly quite strong, self-reporting bias, and I don't think that we (or, at least, I) can even figure out the direction of the skew. So, I believe that the poll doesn't tell us how often "PMB denizens" have, or would have or perceive that they have/would have sex absent providers in any general sense. It only tells us about the individuals who actually respond, but who knows how representative they are.

(Of course, the same can be said about a large fraction of UG polls, so I don't know why we are picking on this particular one.)

Oh, you mean that bias. Yeah, I'm making the assumption that poll responders are disproportionately represented in all UG posts. To the degree that the 'attitude' of UG is represented by posters (as opposed to lurkers), this assumption allows for polls to be representative.

The bias I was referring to was that a person might think that he'd get laid daily but in actuality it's far less often (and vice versa).

To me the pol answers the question: How often do UG poll responders think they'd get laid if they weren't seeing prostitutes. Personally I find that question fairly interesting.

JUSTME

I use the term GIRLFRIEND loosely J.
In my opinion, the pattern of behavior is what governs here.
This may not be true for everyone. Obviously WE think differently. Dishonesty isn't part of my equation. Maybe there's an age differencial between us but, personally speaking, if I want to have sex with a woman, that is what is going to happen. How often I put myself in the position isn't going to change, for too long, whether it's casual, for pay or a committed relationship. There are other factors like, I go out alot and I don't discriminate (as for as ethnicity is concerned). That means I have a big pool to choose from in this city(NewYork) & I am going to be proactive.

I didn't follow the first bit quoted above; what if she doesn't want to have sex with you? I have heard that such things happen sometimes.

We're picking on this poll because we'd really like to know the straight answer and sense that the truth is hard to come by here.

Before this poll, I would have guessed the skew would have been towards overreporting of sex frequency. That just about can't be the truth here; if it is, **nobody's** getting any. I was surprised how many people reported low numbers.

That result suggests that the misreporting has to do with why people see providers. Maybe one of the real answers isn't variety, or getting things from a provider an SO won't do, but this: without the provider wouldn't get *anything.*

I'd love to know some truth about the general population. It sure isn't Kinsey. (I don't trust sex information from a guy who stuck a toothbrush up his dick before masturbating.)

Not really.

Look, I'm not saying people will be purposefully dishonest about how they answer the poll. I'm just saying that it's hard to give an acurate answer.

If you can go find sex whenever you want... more power to you. But I think for most people the answer to the question, "how often will you have sex?" is not, "whenever I want to," and so it's a little difficult to really answer.

See, I would have expected under-reporting because there seems to be an undercurrent of fairly acute self-critique among a lot of the john community.

I don't get fixated. Wait a minute ..are we all AMERICANS here? I said there is a lot to choose from, I am not talking about one WOMAN I am talking about a woman from each of the categories--READ MY POST--
I live in Manhattan and I happen to be having sex in all of the categories though mostly from dating. I believe that unless you are terribly disfigured or have lost a leg you have tremendous opportunities DAILY to have sex with decent-looking women--but--you have to get off your ass!

I know we were all brought up differently and have different life experiences but --shheeesh!

& JUSTME , if that's the way you view it then there's not much else I can say..

I agree that it answers that question...at least for respondents to this poll...or maybe it answers the question of how often respondents to this poll say they'd get laid if they weren't seeing prostitutes in posts on UG.

It reminds me of the joke about the engineer, the physicist and the mathematician who see a black sheep on a train ride through Scotland.

And maybe the whole thread should remind us of that great scene in ANNIE HALL when, in parrallel screen mode, the man and woman in a couple are both asked by their therapists how often they have sex.

OK, that makes it clearer...though I still don't see the reference to categories in that post or why it should be read that way, but not important.

its very difficult for a man like me to accept the fact that age has decreased the amount of sex both me and my wife desire.
When we first got married, it was every fucking night.
Even with young kids, we didnt miss a night.
Over the years, as we both slowed down a notch, its been alot less.
Nowadays, age has dictated our sexlife.
Menopause and dryness makes it umcomfortable for the SO. and shes been going to the MD, yada, yada.....and old age and weight have slowed me down alot.

Im happy to get laid 2 times a week now. Once a week is usual since I see an ATF at least once a week, and if the wife cant supply the other pop, I usually give an agency girl a call to sate myself.

Its hard to admit, that someone as sexually active as myself for so many years, has now had to succumb to my own faults and aging. (bad back, torn apart knee, and ofcourse, weight gain, has all taken its toll on my sex life)I hate telling it like it is, but its a fact that alot of guys hitting middleage have to face.

Maybe i'm just weird, but i choose to not have sex more than once or twice a week. In conjuction with rarely masturbating, i get to really enjoy the sex and the orgasm as opposed to it just being "ok", which in my experience has been the case when i've "done it" more frequently.

As of April 16, the poll says that nearly half of respondents report they'd get laid less than once a month or never if it weren't for providers. I'm in one of those groups too. I'm married. Sometimes I'm sad.
