A national questionaire dealing with problem areas and frustrations of singles was given to both married and single adults. The results indicated that marrieds percieved that the number one problem singles face was sexual frustrations and expressions. Given the same questionaire, singles ranked sexual frustration fifth among their problems. The "Swinging Singles" image and single bars have promoted a sterotype that singles are sexually active. Many are living together. This is an area that must be addressed in the church. Studies indicate that Christian singles are more sexually active than had been assumed, though not as sexually active as the national average singles. Still, the swinging single appears to be in the minority.
Sexuality and intimacy are two areas that must be addressed with singles. It also needs to be noted that marriage does not preclude sexual frustration.
