Is sex better within the context of marriage or when one is single?

What will be an ideal response?

• Possible Response Points:
• The answer to this question depends in part on how one defines "better". This can be defined in terms of frequency, in terms of enjoyment/satisfaction, in terms of duration of the sex act. In truth, there are tradeoffs to be made between sex in the context of and outside the context of marriage.
• In some sense, sex is "better" for single people or people who cohabitate without marriage. First, single people and cohabitors have more sexual partners than married people. They also seem to have more imaginative sex and the sex act might last for a longer period of time than it does when married people have sex.
• In contrast, sex is more emotionally and physically satisfying for married people than it is for single and cohabitors, and in general is more frequent (except for compared to cohabitors).
• So, one can trade frequency and satisfaction for imagination and variability in terms of sexual activity within a marriage or outside of that context. Depending on which of these criteria is more important to a person, that is how one would know which is "better".
