Adam & Eve Survey Examines Time of Day Americans Prefer to Have Sex

HILLSBOROUGH, N.C. — Adam & Eve has released the statistics from its new survey that compares results to the same questions they asked 10 years ago about the time of day people prefer to have sex.

"While many things have changed over the past 10 years, most adults still choose to have their sexual encounters in the evenings or late nights," a rep said. "In 2011, 18% of the respondents preferred late-night lovemaking while 20% of 2021’s respondents did."

"Mornings were the next most popular time, with 10% choosing early hours in both 2011 and 2021. Afternoon sex was the least popular time reported, with 5% preferring it in 2011 and 8% in 2021," added the rep.

Adam & Eve resident sexologist Dr. Jenni Skyler wasn't surprised by similarities in the answers between 2011 and now.

"Nights tend to be easier for working partners, especially if you have kids and need to wait until after bedtime,” Skyler said. “However, I suggest couples do all they can to have sex during daylight hours. Humans are diurnal mammals, versus nocturnal, so we have far more energy when the sun is up. Our hormones are also working in our favor versus begin depleted by the end of day."

Marketing Director Chad Davis added, "When it comes to sex, most American adults are happy to make time in their busy schedules. Adam & Eve offers many products to enhance the experience — morning, noon or night.”

The web-based survey, conducted by an independent third party survey company of over 1,000 American adults age 18 and up, was sponsored by Adam & Eve to study sexual preferences and practices.
