We interviewed 2,500 of you about your most intimate secrets. Here’s what you revealed (we won’t judge).
How often do you have sex?
Look at the person next to you. Wink. Today may be your lucky day: 45 per cent said they get busy weekly, which beat daily (eight per cent) and monthly (12 per cent) for the top spot. Only one per cent have sex yearly, and 12 per cent didn’t know or said “it depends,” but second place actually went to: “It’s been too long since the last time” (17 per cent). Sorry folks. May we introduce you to some virgins (six per cent)?
What’s your kink of choice?
You really enjoy your public displays of affection: An overwhelming 42 per cent of survey responders admitted to having sex outdoors or in public. And, while your parents might have told you not to play with your food, now that you’re an adult you enjoy playing with your food … in bed (21 per cent).
Three’s never a crowd: 13 per cent of you have dabbled in a ménage à trois. (Are 13 per cent of you lying?)
About 14 per cent have tried the dominant game while 10 per cent have played the submissive, and an especially sexually adventurous four per cent of you have tried on some S&M gear. Playing with candles (four per cent) didn’t light your fire as much as playing with butt plugs (nine per cent). And, a select few of you (four per cent) have a few sexy secrets that weren’t even mentioned.
Note to the 34 per cent of you who said you weren’t kinky: Experiment. If butt plugs are too adventurous, maybe try food in bed — you probably eat there anyway.
What kind of erotica do you enjoy?
About a quarter (27 per cent of you) don’t need outside materials to turn you on. But, when it comes to your sexual media, the majority of you head online. Forty-five per cent get excited from videos and web clips, with a small portion of responders preferring to watch sex acts live (four per cent).
Erotic fiction tickles the fancy for 15 per cent, while two per cent of you are hanging on the telephone. About seven per cent of you are lovers of the arts — pornographic photography art, that is.
Why is Fifty Shades of Grey such a big deal?
For the majority of you (10 per cent), you felt the most appealing part of reading the Fifty Shades series was the fact that reading about sex is empowering. However, a lot of you also believed the books had people hooked because it made submissive fantasies more mainstream (eight per cent).
Five percent couldn’t ignore that the books’ popularity was probably due to the connection to Twilight, while six per cent felt the fantasy series’ basis in reality was what made so many people read it.
Three per cent felt that the reason Fifty Shades was so popular was because it was available on ebook to readers, allowing them to peruse steamy scenes anywhere from the four walls of their bedroom to wide-open public transportation.
What fictional characters do you want to see getting hot and heavy?
Light up the Bat-signal: 22 per cent of you want to see Batman and Catwoman get busy. But Marvel heroes Iron Man and Black Widow aren’t that far behind (11 per cent). You weren’t so interested in seeing Spider-man finally land Gwen Stacy (five per cent).
For you Hunger Games fantasy fiction fans, Katniss and Peeta (three per cent) beat out Katniss and Gale (two per cent). Oddly, Katniss/Gale tied with the desire to see Frodo and Gollum getting it on.
Maybe “Doing the Hobbit” will be the next big sex trend of 2012.
