How many people are having sex right now?

Around 1 million people – 989,042, precisely – are having sex as you read this. It is as if the entire population of San Diego, in California (1 million people, according to an estimate by the United States Census Bureau), or twice the population of Atlanta, Georgia (499,127 people) were getting lucky right now.

To find this number, we took the average number of sexual relations a person had in a year (103), multiplied it by the adult population of the world (5.047 billion) and obtained the annual number of sexual relations: 519.8 billion!
