Masturbation is a wonderful thing.

Single, dating or married, here atMamamia, we love it.

Recently,Mamamiaconducted some very important research to answer all the ~sexy~ questions women want the answer to.

How much sex single women are having? What the most popular time is to have sex? What's the best form of contraception?

It turns out the rumours are true: coupled up gals aren't fitting in solo sessions quite as much as their single counterparts.

Here are the stats, broken down:

For those who love a good chart, here's one we prepared earlier for your viewing pleasure:

What do you think? Do these stats come as a surprise? Let us know in the comments below.
