These are responses from the largest population represented in the survey, single parents whose children were at home. Confession: The issues in this section are intricate (and numerous) because of my own years as a single mom. They are irreplaceable in my memory, a learning experience never to be forgotten. (Sigh.) Onward:

—Are you more sexually responsive when your children are not at home? (About 73 percent said yes.)

—Would the frequency of sexual activity change if your children were not at home? (Fifty-six percent said yes.)

—Do your sex partners sleep over in your house? (About 23 percent said yes.)

—Do you respond to your children's questions about your sexual activity? (About 53 percent said yes.)

—Do your children resent your dating? (Two-thirds said no.)

—Do you tell them about masturbation? (About 64 percent said no.)

—How soon after your marriage ended did you resume some degree of shared sexual activity? (About 41 percent said months; 2.5 percent said years.)

—Have your sexual fantasies become freer since you became single? (About 20 percent said yes.)

—How do you plan to educate your children to handle their sex life as unmarried adults? (About 34 percent said having a frank, open discussion.)

—Is the way you are conducting your sex life as a single person consistent with the way you are parenting?

—Were you sexually faithful to your spouse? (About 73 percent said yes.)

—Was your spouse faithful? (About 44 percent said no.)

—Would you be a different sex partner in a new marriage? (Sixty-seven percent said yes.)

—In what ways? (Sixty-two percent said by being faithful, honest and less inhibited.)

I can think of a zillion new queries to ask in an updated survey. What about it, dear readers? Is it time for an update?
