The survey, carried out by UMR found, 60% of Gen Y New Zealanders and Australians want sex at least few times a week (48% a few times a week, 12% once a day or more often). And 17% of gen Y males want sex at least once a day - the highest of all other generations and genders.

Generation Y want sex more often than any other generation (92%). 95% of Gen Y men want more sex, and 88% of female Gen Y do. 35% of Gen Y are having sex a few times a week or more.

Gen Z women want more sex more often than Gen Z men. 14% of Gen Z females want sex at least once a day, however less than 1% of Gen Z men think this is the ideal amount of sex to be having, 44% would prefer a few times a week.

Men from the silent generation have high libidos, but women from the Silent Generation have low libidos - 67% of Silent Generation men want to have sex once a week or more, compared with only 30% of Silent Generation women. 29% of silent gen women want to have sex less than once a year (highest of all generations). No silent generation wanted sex only once a year.
