McCall's commented wn the survey. “Home and family | come first. Their emotional lives mean more than their sexual lives.” ‘Eighty-two per cent of the respondents were mar- ried, eight per cent single, five per cent living with a man, four per cent separated or divorced and one per cent 3 widowed. Thirty-two per cent ad- mitted they had been un- faithful, but many said their infidelities eventually helped strengthen their marriages and made them “appreciate their partners more,” Mc- Call's said. In response to the ques- tion, “What is most impor- = tant to you now?” Sixty-one per cent of those surveyed said, “a feeling of being close to someone.” Fifty: four per cent answered, “my chil- dren;” 43 per cent said, “my + home.” - Only 23 per cent listed “satisfying sex” as the most important. Thirty-three per cent chose financial security, and 17 per cent preferred their “job.or primary acti- vity.” Asked. if they were “very satisfied” with their sex lives, only 81 per cent of those polled said they were, and 87 per cent said they had foind sexual fulfilment in marriage. The No.1 ‘complaint about their sex lives was “we don’t have enough sex,”. but almost 60 per cent of the women\ said they would choose the same partner again. Need A Locksuaith?
