Survey Finds Younger Women Turned On By Sexting And Emails

Posted byBy Popular Critic | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

Let’s talk about sex, shall we? Don’t be shy, we already asked all the revealing questions.

Yahoo! Shine and Fitness Magazine surveyed over 1000 adults to find out what gets them in the mood as well to delve into the most intimate details of their love lives. Read on, we know you are curious.

The number one route to lovemaking for both men and women is dinner and a bottle of wine. About 24% of men and 26% of women responded that is the magic combo for getting their motors running. Younger men and women (ages 18-34) are also likely to get turned on by a sexy text or email (22% compared with only 12% of their more mature counterparts). However, nearly half of all adults (50% of men and 43% of women) have “talked dirty” over the phone to heat things up.

Hint for men: the number one way to make your lady friend feel sexy is simply to tell her, “I love you.” Nearly half of all women (42%) say this is the surest way to boost their libido. That’s almost twice as many as were turned on when their guys told them, “You are so hot” (25%).

Did you ever wonder if other people were having more sex than you? The answer depends on if you are married or single. Couples who are married or living together have sex 2.4 times a week on average, versus singles, who report they are getting busy a lusty 5.3 times a week.

The good news for couples is that 38% say they fantasize about their significant other or spouse as opposed to a colleague (19%) or a friend’s spouse (8%). The bad news is that 38% also fantasize about getting it on with a celeb.

As for the length of lovemaking sessions, interestingly, women estimate it takes, on average, 39 minutes from foreplay to the big “O,” while men estimate 45 minutes. Wishful thinking? Men also want even more time under the sheets than women: 53% of men are satisfied with the length of time they spend having sex compared to 65% of women.

Significantly more men than women would choose to have sex if given an extra hour in a day. Forty-six percent of men say that’s what they would do with their stolen time versus 24% percent of women. In fact, more women (26%) would rather catch up on some ZZZs than make love. Maybe that’s because their partner has been keeping them up late at night with lots of great sex? We hope so.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
