]]> Curious as to why people might be avoiding sex? Then check out this national survery that the Consumer Reports National Research Center just released. Turns out that over 80% of the sexually active people in their nationally representative survey of 1,000 adults indicated that they had sometimes avoided sex in the last year.

Here’s the top 6 reasons why…

  • too tired or needed sleep more than sex
  • not feeling well or health problems
  • not in the mood
  • taking care of pets or children
  • work
  • watching a TV or a movie

It’s interesting to note that money worries and the economy didn’t make the top 6 list. Seems that “…seventy-nine percent of the sexually active respondents said that the financial downturn hadn’t had the same effect on how often they had sex.”

By the way, Consumer Reports have put together a Sex Education Quiz so that you can find out whether you have your finger on the pulse of how Americans view sex. By taking this interactive quiz, you can see how your answers compare with our nationally representative survey of 1,000 adults.
