Curious about where people report the best sex in the U.S.? Naplab’s nationwide study uncovered some surprising results. On a scale from 1 to 10, the average self-reported sex life satisfaction across the country is just 4.77—clearly a low score for many.
The data reveals a mixed picture: 23.6% of Americans rated their sex life as a 1, while only 10.6% rated it a perfect 10. Despite the frequency of sex being a factor, with 45.6% having sex at least once a week, it is clear that frequency alone doesn’t ensure satisfaction.
How Americans rated their sex life on a scale of 1 to 10:
- 1: 23.6%
- 2: 10.6%
- 3: 9.7%
- 4: 5.8%
- 5: 10.5%
- 6: 5.9%
- 7: 7.55
- 8: 9.7%
- 9: 6.3%
- 10: 10.6%
How did each of the 50 states score? Oklahoma tops the list with an impressive average score of 6.79. Alongside Oklahoma, states like Kentucky, Texas, Maine, Iowa, Louisiana, and Arkansas also scored above 6. Notably, most of these states are in the Bible Belt, hinting at a surprising trend in sexual satisfaction.
On the other end, Virginia, New Mexico, and Alaska recorded average scores below 3. Despite previous findings that Alaskans and New Mexicans are among the most sexually active, their satisfaction levels tell a different story.
Current research points to several factors affecting sexual satisfaction, including increased use of technology, shifting social norms, and less alcohol consumption. Communication with partners, exploring non-sexual physical contact, and investing in a quality mattress are recommended steps for improving sexual satisfaction.
