Recently (September 2014), Dazed (a digital arts and culture magazine) published the results from their large scale (114 countries, 10,500 participants) sex survey exploring:
“What you want, who you want and how you do it from the screen to the bedroom.”
Suspending my need for scientific rigor, there are some fascinating findings from the study, which focused primarily on today’s youth, dubbed, generation swipe:
INTERNET
- Men are twice as likely to lie about their identity online.
- 50% of us send naked selfies, but if you like sex when you’re high, or have had sex with more than one person in a day, you’re notably more likely.
- 40% of you like having sex on drugs, and 36% have had sex with more than one person in a day. If you’re that way inclined, you’re more likely to be the type to send over a naked picture to a significant other
- Gay men use apps to get laid will surprise no one, but still, the numbers were striking – more than 50% primarily use apps to hook up, compared with the heterosexual 10%.
- 28% of Americans felt that technology made their sex lives more neurotic, less erotic.
PORN
- Consumption and viewing of porn has been transformed:
- 25% of respondents never watch pornography, 59% watch it one to five times a week, and 16% six or more times.
- While the majority of women indulge at least once a week, only 4% do so six or more times a week, compared with 60% of men who watch it nearly every day or more.
“Straight women’s consumption of lesbian porn outstrips men’s: only gay or bisexual women watch more girl-on-girl. The fact that twice as many girls chose “other” as their favorite porn type than guys, for example, suggests that mainstream porn does not cater for women’s needs as well as it does their male equivalents.”
- >50% of all respondents have never had sex on camera, 34% have: about two thirds of this group regarded it as positive experience which they’d like to repeat, and 9% of all respondents – said they would never do it again.
HEALTH
- 44% use protection all the time, 46% some of time, 10% never.
- Gay men are the most careful demographic, with half always using a condom, and less than 5% saying never, the lowest of any demographic.
- Gay women, alternatively, use protection the least, with over two thirds never using protection, and under 20% using it always.
LOVE
- 1 in 5 of us see polyamory as the perfect set-up.
- Straight guys are bigger fans of multiple-partner relationships than straight girls.
- Bisexual people of both genders are least likely to identify with monogamy as the perfect domestic set-up, and the most likely to favour a poly relationship.
- 8% say that love is “everything”, while 32% said that it meant nothing.
- A resounding 75% said that sex was important or very important, with only 3% saying it was unimportant.
- sex was more essential to women than men – with more gay and bisexual women rating it as “important or very important” than their male counterparts.
While we can wonder about confounding factors, or the soundness of the study design, etc…we cannot discount the interesting nature of some of these findings or the fact that they reflect some real shifts in our sexual realities…some good, some not so much…but, overall it’s striking (and pleasing) to see that we are becoming much more open and accepting when it comes to variant sexual expressions and our responsible enjoyment of…it ALL! 😉 xxx Dr. NymphoBrainiac.
