Well neither do most people, but in light of this tasty holiday, social-networking and dating site [Skout](http://blog.skout.com/2015/04/03/skout-celebrates-national-grilled-cheese-day/) did a survey of 4,600 users to find out what their taste in sandwiches said about them. Turns out that grilled-cheese-sandwich lovers are having way more fun in the bedroom, with 32% having sex more than six times a month, compared with just 27% of people who don’t like the sandwich. Also, 73% of those who like the sandwich said they had sex at least once each month, compared with the 63% of those who say they don’t like the snack. That might be because 84% of grilled-cheese-sandwich lovers are more adventurous and likely to travel, vs. 78% of nonlovers. Or it could be because the grilled cheesers are more charitable (81% vs. 66%). If you’re skeptical, well, remember that Skout’s interest in grilled cheese is for a good cause. The site will donate to food banks in San Francisco and Marin County to help feed hungry kids every time users give a [“grilled-cheese gift”](http://blog.skout.com/2014/10/08/4-reasons-to-give-gifts/) to someone else on the site. _Read next:_ [_7 Reasons to Have More Sex_](http://time.com/3342401/7-reasons-to-have-more-sex/?iid=time%5Freadnext) [_Listen to the most important stories of the day._](http://time.com/newsletter/the-brief/?sl%5Fautoplay=true&xid=spl-fullbrief-article) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3814871/sex-grilled-cheese-sandwiches/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3814871/sex-grilled-cheese-sandwiches/"},"headline":"People Who Love Grilled Cheese Sandwiches Have Way More Sex Than Those Who Don't","datePublished":"2015-04-09T06:44:28.000Z","dateModified":"2026-08-04T07:48:30.384Z","description":"Hey, don't knock this totally groundbreaking survey","url":"https://time.com/3814871/sex-grilled-cheese-sandwiches/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Food & Drink","survey","Sex"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt10f15f45f2e0c04e/6987ea3d8e06014d8e45e07a/grilled-cheese-sandwich.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Helen Regan","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/helen-regan/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt10f15f45f2e0c04e/6987ea3d8e06014d8e45e07a/grilled-cheese-sandwich.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Grilled cheese sandwich","caption":"Grilled cheese sandwich","creditText":"David Bishop Inc.—Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3814871/sex-grilled-cheese-sandwiches/","name":"People Who Love Grilled Cheese Sandwiches Have Way More Sex Than Those Who Don't"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"A 100-Year-Old Sex Therapist on Having Good Sex, Then and Now","description":"A practicing sex therapist in New York City, Dr. Shirley Zussman has witnessed everything from the legalization of the contraceptive birth control pill to the AIDs epidemic in the 1980s to the rise of internet porn in the new millenium.","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/uJFYIrvP/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2014-08-20T13:40:15.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/uJFYIrvP.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/3814871/sex-grilled-cheese-sandwiches/","duration":"PT3M13S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/3814871/sex-grilled-cheese-sandwiches/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
