      The best sex I ever had was with someone I had an affair with. I hate to think of that time and, when I do, I don’t really recognise who I was back then. I’m still dealing with all the guilt around being a cheater and hurting someone I loved so much.

      The Sex Habits of Americans - Amy Winter

      Introduction

      You don’t want to talk about it or even whisper it, but I’m sure you’re thinking about it. In fact, you were probably thinking about it earlier today. It’s on billboards, movies, the Internet, and right here in this book. Not that is has to be: Americans are wired for sex. And with a culture as energetic, outgoing, and passionate as ours—we’re going to think about it … a lot. But with so much sex on the American brain, what about all the things we don’t know: the who, what, where, when, why, and how?

      • • •

      That’s where The Sex Habits of Americans comes in! There are thousands of books about the American sex drive, and along with various surveys, magazines, and websites, this information has been gathered not only to teach you, but to inform and entertain you. All the answers, details, and numbers have been compiled here to satisfy those curious cravings.

      Nothing seems at once as basic and complicated as sex— it’s biology, after all. But what do all those terms really mean? When does a date become hooking up? How much sex are Americans having, anyway? What really turns on the other sex? Whether or not you were paying attention in the 8th grade, this book offers a course in Sex Ed., exploring how surprising the ‘basics’ really are.

      We might be famous for our diversity and tolerance, but what characterizes Americans under the sheets? A romantic might say that eyes are the window into the soul, but nothing reveals real personality like a night in the sack. Rich with varied people and preferences, it turns out that the U.S. is just as colorful, creative, and remarkable in bed as it is in the street. And even though all people may be created equal, not all places are. Where you live might have something to do with whether you were watching TV or getting friendly on the couch last weekend.

      And in the U.S. what people prefer may not only surprise you, but be all around you. This book provides a glimpse into the deep reaches of America’s sexual psyche—including your friends, neighbors, and people in the supermarket. There are possibilities everywhere, whether it’s a teacher with a double life, a doctor with adventurous tastes, or a neighbor who dreams up an old flame. You can’t help but wonder how well you really know America, and then be stunned by the view. It’s insight into the private life of a nation, with all its turn ons, anxieties, and anticipations.

      Great research and time went into searching the depths of America’s sex habits, and the results were surprising. Interestingly, one gender’s perception of the other doesn’t always align with reality. They might even agree more than you thought possible! Fantasies take an important place in the sexual psyche, too, and healthy Americans can’t help but let their imaginations run wild. It’s often the most curious things that will get the American heart to quiver and loins to stir. The sheer amount of fascinating details will suck you in—it’s all the emotions and thoughts racing through people before the fall, post-coitus, and in medias res. Technique is perhaps the most subjective of topics. On their nights out, men will banter over beers and women will share secrets with each other. But even if your friends don’t spare the most sensitive questions, this book doesn’t leave out the details on positions, size, and pressure points. Everybody knows what they like best—and Americans can be wildly different. But if you’d rather not share with your friends some of the more intimate pleasures and fears keeping you up at night—you’ll find some solace here. The worst mistake during sex? Orgasms (or a lack thereof)? And who might be faking them—and why?

      Sex is important—no point in denying it. You can only gain from considering all those questions that swirl all around it, and this book brings together all the scattered, varied knowledge that we all want to know. Answers to the questions we find
