本研究根据1988年全国家庭和住户调查提供了关于婚姻性行为的数据。通过这个有代表性的美国成年人样本（n = 7，463），我们展示了婚姻性行为的发生率和频率在生命过程中的变化。与以前的研究一致，这项研究表明婚姻性行为的发生率和频率下降。有几个因素导致了这种下降，包括生物衰老、健康状况下降和性习惯。在多变量分析中，年龄是与婚内性行为频率最密切相关的单一因素。婚姻幸福是第二重要的预测因素。一些发现与性频率有关的因素与生活变化有关，这些变化减少或增加了发生性行为的机会，包括怀孕，幼儿的存在和绝育。控制年龄和许多其他因素，我们发现同居者，婚前同居的已婚人士，以及那些处于第二次或更晚婚姻的人比没有经历过这些事件的人有更频繁的性行为。缺失的反应的有效性汇总信息的性频率的影响被认为是。
This study presents data on marital sex based on the 1988 National Survey of Families and Households. With this representative sample of United States adults (n = 7,463), we show how the incidence and frequency of marital sex change over the life course. Consistent with previous research, this study shows a decline in marital sexual incidence and frequency. Several factors contribute to this decline, including biological aging, diminished health, and habituation to sex. In multivariate analyses, age was the single factor most highly associated with marital sexual frequency. Marital happiness was the second most important predictor. Some factors found to be related to sexual frequency are associated with life changes that reduce or increase the opportunity to have sex, including pregnancy, the presence of small children, and sterilization. Controlling for age and many other factors, we found that cohabiters, married individuals who had cohabited before marriage, and those who were in their second or later marriage had more frequent sex than their counterparts who had not experienced these events. The effect of missing responses on the validity of aggregate information on sexual frequency is considered.
