Men initiate sex more than three times as often as women do in a long-term, heterosexual relationship. However, previous research shows that sex happens far more often whenever the woman takes the initiative, suggesting that it is the woman who thus sets the limits to a greater extent than men do.

Psychologists at NTNU have investigated what other factors play a role for frequency of intercourse in couples in long-term relationships.

Two factors are decisive in how often women take the initiative at all.

Attitudes to casual sex
[...]Got to have passion

[...]The study included 92 couples aged 19 to 30. Relationships varied in length from one month to nine years, with an average of just under two years. The couples had sex two to three times a week on average.

    Then the answer's simple: list out your preferences in java/ruby, compiled/scripting, python/perl, emacs/vi, and android/iOS (oh and liberal/conservative). Then find someone who really likes the opposite, and watch the chemistry take off (producing volatile, combustible compounds) and the sparks fly! Make sure you're both wearing protective gear first though.
