Kate,

I would think that most people who were inclined to vote in the poll have already done so. I have discovered that in my job as well, that the vast majority of responses occur quickly.

That being said, I am looking at the response numbers. 25 people responded. Of those, 80% (20) are intimate less often than once per week. 52% (13) said less often than once per month. And 20% (5) said they no longer are intimate.

I do not know what averages are considered “normal” but I think these numbers are huge! I have to believe that a normal relationship is intimate at least once per week. (Normal meaning there are no outside factors like medical conditions or work schedules that affect intimacy.) Does anyone have access to statistics like that for comparison?

It would be great if we could get a bigger number of respondents. Generally speaking, the larger the sample, the more accurate the results, as long as other issues do not affect the poll.
