Around 1 million people – 989,042, precisely – are having sex as you read this. It is as if the entire population of São Luís, the capital of Maranhão (957 thousand people, according to an estimate by the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics), or twice the population of Niterói, in Rio de Janeiro (479 thousand people) were on the brink -e-rolls 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! Check out this and other crazy accounts we’ve made below to see what people are up to right this minute! :-*
