Sex stats for the British population

Sex is a topic that can be difficult to talk about, yet sex is a crucial aspect of many people’s lives, in Britain and throughout the world. There are lots of myths and misunderstandings about sex. It can be tricky to get to the truth about sex as it’s deeply personal and, sometimes, highly sensitive or stigmatised, making it difficult to get reliable information. The National Surveys of Sexual Attitudes and Lifestyles (Natsal) provide robust data about sexual behaviour and sexual health, collected from thousands of adults living all over Britain. This free interactive tool gives you access to data collected by the third Natsal survey and to explore what it has to tell us in an easy-to-use way.
