Survey Says - Alberta Women Have
More Sex
The Rest of Canada
Can Learn from Albertans
According to a survey, not only are women in Alberta more
satisfied with their relationships but at least 66 percent of them say they
have sex about once a week. The rest of Canada compares at 50 percent. Last
year's survey results recently tabulated by Chatelaine Magazine show how women
aged 35 were less concerned about money due to the last few years of a robust
economy and therefore a subsequently reduced stress level.
Prairie Provinces
More Laid-back
Dr. Trina Read is a Calgary-based author, columnist and sex
coach. She says that, “Those people who live in western provinces tend to be a
lot more laid-back than people from the east. Without the heavy social
pressures and responsibility, she surmises that there is more sex. “Responsibility
and good sex just don’t mix.”
Matt Johnson, an assistant professor of family ecology at
the University of Alberta says that, “Incomes in Alberta tend to be a bit
higher than other provinces and having higher socioeconomic status is linked
with having less stress. When couples experience less stress…then their
relationships have a better chance of flourishing.” This could mean they have
more time to devote to their relationship, and that quality time can spill into
the bedroom.
Friendship Promotes Sexual
Intimacy
A Calgary-based psychologist, Carolyn Clare, specializing in
gender, relationships and sexuality says, “Seventy-one percent of Albertans
said that companionship kept them in their relationships, and that was higher
than the rest of Canada.” The research supports the idea that deep friendship
is the foundation of intimacy and satisfying sex.
Sex is a Version of
Adventure
Cheryl McMeeken is a Calgary-based sex and relationship
therapist. She says that from her experience in Alberta, “There’s a big focus on
making your life the best it can be or maximizing your pleasure.” Overall, the
survey claimed that Albertan women yearned for more travel and adventure and sex
is a version of adventure.
