(4) So… more money, more pleasure? A noticeable correlation exists when comparing how much money Americans plan on spending for Valentine’s Day and their expectation of sex. About half of U.S. who spends less than $50 reports that they’re very (25 percent) or somewhat (26 percent) likely to have sex. That number jumps nearly twenty percentage points for Americans who plan to spend $50-100, with 69 percent saying they’re very (41 percent) or somewhat (28 percent) likely to have sex. And at 80 percent, Americans who spend $100+ have the most confidence that they’ll have sex, with 61 percent reporting that they’re very likely and 19 reporting they’re somewhat likely.
