I (33M) tracked my sexual activity throughout 2025 to see if any patterns emerged. I recorded:
- Sex with partners
- Masturbation
- Total orgasms
Partners: 1 FWB, 6 people I dated, and 14 casual+ONS encounters.
Results: 188 times having sex, 307 times masturbating, 495 total orgasms
When I plotted the data with a 7-day moving sum, a surprising periodic pattern emerged showing peaks in weekly sexual activity occurring roughly every 30 days.
At first, I thought it might be related to something like ADHD and variance in neurotransmitters.
Turns out there's actual research showing men experience monthly testosterone cycles! I found this study documenting rhythmic fluctuations in male testosterone levels on a monthly basis. The peaks in the data appear to align with what could be higher testosterone periods.

OP please put your age and gender or no one is going to believe you
At this point I’m convinced half of you are just reaching elbow-deep into your ass, yanking out random numbers, and calling it data.
So you had sex every other day in 2026 (which is way more than most guys anywhere), yet you still masturbated almost every day in 2026. I don’t get it.
Are you a gay man?
I do not mean this as a insult or in jest, nor should you take the question that way.
do you mind sharing the raw data? the plots are nice and all but there’s too much data in one place to fully comprehend them
Damn. You discovered your sexual heartbeat.
r/dataisbeautiful is now just bland excel charts apparently. What happened to this sub?
