The investigations of Davis, Dickinson and Beam, Hamilton, and Pearl have been used for the derivation of a distribution of frequencies of coitus among human beings. The original published tables differed among themselves in the nature and size of the sample group and in the class intervals of age distribution, but they appear to be fairly representative of the "comfortably well-of" portion of the American people of relatively superior intelligence. The reliability of the information is open to question, but the informants seem to be sincere, and the different studies agree with each other fairly closely. The median frequency of this composite report is approximately eight times permonth, the middle 50 per cent ranging from three to fifteen times per month
