Are you having enough sex? Well, the average American does it 120 times a year (or about 2.3 times a week). But apparently, those numbers aren't enough; we're craving more—63 percent wish they were getting it on more frequently.

So say the findings of Trojan's U.S. Sex Census, which uncovered the sexual habits of adults 18 and over in our great nation.

Aside from finding that men are much more willing to experiment sexually than women (83 percent vs. 65 percent, respectively), Trojan also unlocked other divisions among males and females.
