In my relationships survey (n=57k), i ask
duestion: Do you practice a traditional religion?
tip: Such as Christianity, Judaism, Islam, etc., and not* including stuff like witchcraft.
No
Loosely/culturally
Yes
Devoutly/heavily
I also ask:
"On average, over the last six months, about how often do you and your partner have sex?"
The question is: Among people who report being in relationships 5 years or more, which group will have higher sex frequency: people who said "no" to the religion question, or people who said "Yes" or "Devoutly/heavily"?
Idk exactly the threshold I'd use to say it's 'equal', and I don't feel like figuring out an exact number to give right now. My usual threshold for correlations being worth reporting is r=.12 (tho i might not use this to measure the relationship idk).
I haven't looked at the results yet and don't know the answer myself. I might bet in this market but will stop betting once I look at the results.
I will do basic controls for stuff like age, gender, and whether or not people have kids. If there's any other very basic, obvious stuff to control for I haven't thought of, then I will include that too.
Update 2025-11-04 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): The creator is considering using standard deviation of total responses as a method to determine the threshold for "equal" outcomes. The difference between religious and non-religious groups would need to be some fraction of that standard deviation to be considered meaningfully different (rather than equal).

sorry for taking forever to resolve this, my life kinda exploded and then i ended up procrastinating.
there was basically no diff for relationships 5+ years. there was a difference for relationships newer than 5 years, which was that nonreligious people reported having more sex.
In this I looked specifically at people between 22-32 and who had no kids.
@Aella was the answer different for the other age groups and/those with kids? Why did you pick to resolve based on only one on the groups?
@Aella resolution? I hope things are better for you now IRL compared to 20d ago (your latest comment).
@AhronMaline oh man i'm sorry my life got hella insane and is still insane, i will try to resolve this next time i sit down with my data
Please specify what you mean by "long-term", a decade or 3 decades
By long term I'm assuming between 5-10 years
@StephenFowler28ac The question was asked, and the answer speculated, but no definitive answer was made yet.
@StephenFowler28ac Snowball sample; i made survey that gives people results, posted it on social media, it got shared around. It's also linked at the end of the Big Kink survey, which has been regularly capturing new ppl for years now (very good google SEO, going viral on tiktok, etc)
Usually when doing my own followers it caps out at 10k if i'm lucky, but more realistically like 5k. I would guess majority of people answering are not my followers.
@LilyFleming everything is significant at the p=.05 level if you collect enough data. That doesn’t indicate a meaningful difference.
@MatthewKhoriaty Are you gesturing at the difference between statistical significance and practical significance, a la effect size? If a difference doesn't actually exist, gathering a lot more data shouldn't then allow us to reject the null hypothesis.
@Haiku In complex fields such as social science, the only variables that aren’t correlated are those that anti correlate. This is called the Crud Factor.
