Although sexual activity is commonly believed to be a key component of emotional
well-being, little is known about the factors associated with the absence of
sexual activity or its associations with self-reported happiness. Using the U.S.
General Social Survey-National Death Index 2008 dataset, a series of nationally
representative surveys (1988-2002), this study analyzed the sociodemographic and
lifestyle factors associated with past-year sexlessness and self-reported
happiness among American adults (n = 17,744). After adjustment for marital
status, there were no significant time trends evident in the proportion of
American adults reporting past-year sexlessness. Among participants
(age = 18-89 years), 15.2% of males and 26.7% of females reported past-year
sexlessness while 8.7% of males and 17.5% of females reported no sex for 5 years
or more. For both genders, past-year sexlessness was most strongly associated
with older age and being currently non-married in the multivariable models. Among
males, the multivariable analysis also showed that sexlessness was associated
with providing less than 20% of the household income (OR 2.27). In female
participants, sexlessness was associated with very low income, poor health, lower
financial satisfaction, absence of children, and having conservative sexual
attitudes (OR 1.46-3.60). For both genders, Black race was associated with a much
lower likelihood of sexlessness among currently non-married adults. The purported
detrimental impact of sexlessness on self-reported happiness levels was not
evident in this large, nationally representative study after adjusting for
sociodemographic factors. Sexless Americans reported very similar happiness
levels as their sexually active counterparts.
