Sex O’Clock – 28% Of Men Think About Sex 288 Times A Day

New Research Shows That Men Are 3 Times More Likely Than Women To Think About Sex Every 5 Minutes.

In one of the largest studies to date, more than 21,000 members of the free online dating website Smooch.com were asked how often they thought about sex. Whilst 28% of men allowed their minds to wander every 5 minutes, only 8% of women had such active imaginations.

An additional 28% of men admitted to sexual thoughts every hour compared to just 13% of women; this means not only are men 3 times more likely than women to think about sex every 5 minutes, but twice as likely to think about it every hour.

However, whilst 92% of men think about sex on a daily basis, a third of the women surveyed thought about sex far less often. 1 in 4 women think about sex once a week whilst only 3 in 50 men have such idle minds. Furthermore, 1 in 10 women succumb to temptation just once a month compared to 1 in 50 men.

In addition, according to the statistics, as people age, thoughts of a sexual nature decrease. People aged 25-30 have the most active minds with 25% of members in that age group admitting to sexual thoughts every 5 minutes, whilst 43% of those aged 61+ thought about sex every few hours.

Smooch surveys are extremely detailed, incorporating information about the respondents as detailed as height, weight and education, allowing us to uncover the following unusual facts:

• Sex and marriage do not go hand in hand, only 14% of those in search of marriage thought about sex every hour.

• People with the star sign Aries were the most likely (26%) to think about sex every 5 minutes whilst Gemini was the most prudish star sign.

• Kingston is the horniest city in the UK with 45% of the inhabitants thinking about sex every 5 minutes. In contrast, the population of Redbridge rarely indulge their saucy side and are the most likely (17%) to think about sex just once a month.

• Everyone knows smoking is bad for your health, but it clearly works wonders for the libido. Heavy smokers were more likely (24%) than non-smokers to think about sex every 5 minutes.

• Who says money can’t buy happiness? For 31% of high wage earners happiness is just 5 minutes away, whilst those with a low range salary were the least likely to think about sex every 5 minutes.

All Good Men Come With Big Packages

3 in 5 Men Underestimate The Importance Of Size

Does size matter? A basic Google search will give you over 70,000,000 possible sources to solve the debate, but a recent survey by Smooch.com shows that 64% of men underestimate the importance of size.

Over 4,000 members of the free online dating website Smooch.com were asked whether size really mattered. The data highlighted that 25% more women than men believed that size does matter.

Some may suggest that size does not matter within a loving, long-term relationship, but they’d be wrong. Surprisingly, women who were looking for romance and marriage online were the most size conscious. Whilst 50% of those looking for marriage and 47% of those looking or romance said that size did matter, those looking for ‘fun’ were the least concerned (40%) by the size.

Intriguingly, the results also appear to validate the theory that men who drive around in big flashy cars are over-compensating for something else. Men with a high-range salary were the most likely (45%) to believe that size does matter.

It’s Official: Men Are B**tards! Over 40% Of Men Admit They Have Been Unfaithful

Still searching for your Mr. Darcy or Prince Charming? Sadly, a recent anonymous survey reveals that in reality men are a third more likely to be unfaithful than women.

Over 7,000 members of the free online dating website Smooch.com were asked if they had ever been unfaithful to a partner. On average, 35% of respondents said that they had been unfaithful at one point or another. However, only 29% of women have been unfaithful compared to 41% of men, which is more than a third as many men as women.

Some say that with age comes maturity and experience, however in men this translates into sexual maturity and experience rather than emotional and cognitive development. Whilst the amorous male is often pictured as young and virile, the statistics indicate that as men age, the probability of them being unfaithful gradually increases. Those aged 18-24 were 4% below the average at 31%, making this age group the least likely to have cheated on a partner. In contrast, those aged over 60 were nearly 10% above the average with 44% admitting to being unfaithful.

It would be unfair to suggest the overworked cliché that men think with their trousers rather than their brain, especially in light of the fact that highly educated men are more likely to cheat. According to the survey, more than half (54%) of those with a Masters degree have been unfaithful compared to 30% of those with no formal qualifications.

Smooch surveys are extremely detailed, incorporating information about its respondents as detailed as height, weight and education, allowing us to compile the ultimate Girl Guide to Mr. Right:

• Tall, dark and handsome? Think again, men over 6’ are the most likely to be unfaithful (43%)

• Swap your Prince for a Pauper as men with very high salaries are the most likely to be unfaithful (65%)

• If you like your man with washboard abs and arms the size of your thighs then you’re begging for heartache as muscular men are the most likely to be unfaithful (47%)

• Sadly, attractive men are also off limits. Men who considered themselves as quite attractive were the most likely to be unfaithful (41%)

• You should also probably stop looking for guys who are good with children; men with four or more little nippers are most likely to cheat (46%)

• Imagine the scene; your eyes meet over the bar…now back away slowly – regular drinkers are the most likely to be unfaithful (49%)

• Never trust a bearded man (including Santa) as 85% of men with full beards admit to being unfaithful.

The only silver lining to this bombshell is the paradox that men are honest about being liars.

Research:

Smooch.com polled 7,152 members over a 12 hour period.

Celebrity Mr and Mistress – Only 1 in 4 Singles Would ‘Fight For This Love’ Like Cheryl Cole

Research conducted by free online dating website Smooch.com reveals public opinion on Celebrity Cheats; just 26% of single men and women would stand by an unfaithful partner.

The celebrity laundrette has seen a remarkable influx of dirty laundry since the start of the New Year. Stars such as Tiger Woods, Vernon Kay, John Terry and Ashley Cole have all played their role in the world of Celebrity Mr and Mistress; so Smooch set out to investigate how the public would react to a cheating partner.

Over 7,500 members were polled in 12 hours by free online dating website Smooch.com. Single men and women were asked ‘What would you do if your partner cheated?’ Whilst 26% agreed with Cheryl Cole that if it’s worth having, it’s worth fighting for, a staggering 62% would fight with a golf club like Elin Nordegren rather than fight for love.

Intriguingly, 1 in 3 men would fight for love compared to only 1 in 5 women. The results also confirm that Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned as 67% of women would reach for the nearest golf club compared to 57% of men. Whilst just 13% of women and 10% of men would cry if they discovered that their partner cheated.

The statistics also indicate that age is likely to influence a person’s reaction to an unfaithful partner. Those aged 61 and above were the most likely (36%) age group to fight to save a relationship if they discovered their partner had cheated; compared to only 24% of those aged 18-24.

14% of singles aged 18-24 would cry if their partner cheated on them, however as age increased, the tears steadily decreased to 10% of those aged 61 and above. Furthermore, violent revenge was the most popular response for those aged 31-35.

In a separate study, Smooch asked 2,000 singles about trusting a person who has previously cheated. 64% of women compared to 45% of men believed that once a cheat, always a cheat. The results also confirmed the trend that men are more forgiving than women with 1 in 3 men believing people make mistakes compared to less than 1 in 4 women.

Nevertheless, it appears men are 7 times more likely than women to follow in the footsteps of unfaithful celebrities as they believe it is only cheating if you get caught.

Additional information:

Smooch surveys are extremely detailed, incorporating information about its respondents as detailed as facial hair and weight, allowing us to unearth the following strange facts:

• Members aged 31-35 were the least likely to fight to save their relationship, however they were the most likely to seek violent revenge as 67%.

• Those with a very high salary were the most likely to fight for love (30%), whilst those with a low range income were the most likely to cry (15%).

• Aquarians were the most likely star sign to fight for love; Sagittarians were the most violent towards cheaters, whilst Scorpio’s was the most likely to cry over an unfaithful partner.

• Singles in Sheffield were the most likely to try and save a relationship after infidelity. Portsmouth is home to the most tearful singletons, whilst 77% of members in Croydon would chase their partner with a gold club.

Research:

Smooch.com polled 7,554 members over a 12 hour period for the first poll, and 2,040 members in the second survey.

Roses R Dead, Poems R 2, Chocol8 Iz Boring, But Txting Will Woo

Spontaneous texts are more popular with single men and women than the traditional flowers, chocolates and poems.

Valentine’s Day may have only just passed but for 7 million single Brits that means 364 days left to begin wooing next year’s sweetheart. A recent survey carried out by free online dating website Smooch.com revealed that spontaneous texts and emails were a more popular way to woo a potential partner than the traditional flowers, chocolates and poems.

Smooch polled over 14,000 members to find out the best way to woo a potential partner. 44% of members felt that a romantic meal was the most effective way to woo someone, followed by spontaneous texts and emails (25%). Whilst only 17% of members felt that flowers and chocolates were the best way to win someone’s heart.

The least effective wooing techniques were poems or songs (8%) and ‘naughty’ gifts, photos or texts (7%). So whilst edible knickers and a saucy snapshot are unlikely to make your date weak at the knees, reciting a Shakespearean sonnet may prove just as fruitless.

Intriguingly, men were more likely than women to choose flowers, poems, dinner and naughty photos or gifts. In contrast, women (36%) were more than twice as likely as men (16%) to choose spontaneous texts and emails. Arguably, men are still opting for the traditional, tried and tested methods to woo the ladies, whilst women appear to want something less clichéd and more original.

Salary also played a part in a person’s wooing preference. Romantic dinners were the top choice for 47% of those with a high salary. Low range earners were the most likely to choose spontaneous texts or emails. Finally, gifts and texts that would make your mother blush were most popular with those who had a very high range salary – gold plated, diamond encrusted handcuffs anyone?

Additional information:

Smooch surveys are extremely detailed, incorporating information about its respondents as detailed as facial hair and weight, allowing us to unearth the following strange facts:

• Younger members were the most likely (27%) to choose texts and emails as the best way to woo a lover, whilst older members were the most likely (56%) to opt for a romantic dinner.

• Members who described themselves as stunning were more than 3 times as likely (19%) as those who were average looking (6%) to send a naughty gift, photo or text.

• Muscular members were the most likely to select naughty photos, gifts or texts.

• Virgos may not be so virginal as they were the most likely star sign to choose something saucy. Whilst Aquarians were most likely to send spontaneous texts or emails.

Research:

Smooch.com polled 14,786 members over a three day period. Members responses remain anonymous, however, detailed statistics such as age, height, weight, build, attractiveness, hair colour, hair style, facial hair, drinking and smoking habits, education, salary and even star sign are readily available on request.

Body Odour Is The Top Turn-Off For 43% Of Singles This Valentine's Day

Forget Perfume, Chocolates and Flowers. A new survey by Smooch.com reveals deodorant could solve your Valentine's Day Dilemma.

Love may be in the air, but there is a fine line between a musky aroma and a musty odour. In a recent study by Smooch.com, body odour beats unemployment, weight and oral hygiene to top the list of biggest turn-offs.

Free online dating website Smooch.com asked over 17,000 members what was the biggest turn-off in a potential partner; just under half (43%) of the single men and women said that body odour was the biggest turn-off when looking for love.

Singles looking for a Valentine's day smooch rated bad oral hygiene as the second biggest turn-off. 32% of members said bad oral hygiene was the biggest turn-off; this was almost double the amount of those who felt excess weight was the biggest turn-off (17%).

The fourth biggest turn-off was unemployment (6%) whilst being underweight was only problematic for 2% of members.

It seems that men are still expected to bring home the bacon as women were twice as likely as men to say unemployment was the biggest turn-off. Women were also more likely than men to say body odour and poor oral hygiene were the biggest turn off.

On the other hand, nearly a quarter of the men surveyed (24%) said that excess weight was the biggest turn-off compared to just 9% of women. However, men were also twice as likely as women to say and underweight partner was the biggest turn-off.

Additional information:
Smooch surveys are extremely detailed, incorporating information about its respondents as detailed as facial hair and weight, allowing us to unearth the following strange facts:

• People who wear glasses are more likely than those who don’t to find body odour the biggest turn-off – possibly a heightened sense of smell compensates for impaired vision.

• Members who were looking for marriage online were more than three times as likely to find unemployment the biggest turn-off compared to those looking for friendship.

• Men with a pungent aroma should head towards Barnet where only 14% of women found body odour a turn-off

• Unsurprisingly, heavy smokers were the least likely to be turned off by bad oral hygiene (28%)

• Vegans were twice as likely as vegetarians to find an underweight partner the biggest turn-off.

Research:
Smooch.com polled 17,501 members over a three day period.

Papa Don't Preach – Because 85% Won't Listen

New Research By Smooch.com Reveals That Only 15% Of People Try To Impress Their Partner's Father.

The tradition of asking a father for his daughter's hand in marriage could soon be a thing of the past. Free online dating site Smooch.com asked over 13,000 members who they felt it was most important to impress in a new relationship; only 15% of them thought that it was important to impress their partner's father. Nevertheless, men (17%) were more likely than women (13%) to try and impress their partner's father.

The majority of respondents (34%) believed that in a new relationship it was the children who held the key to a success in love. Interestingly,  39% of women would try to impress their partner's children compared to only 29% of  men. Arguably, this could be a direct result of their own maternal instincts, or possibly the fear of playing the role of the wicked step-mother.

With children at the top, and fathers at the bottom of the pecking order, the number of people  targeting their partner's mother and friends was relatively equal. Impressing your partner's friends was the second highest choice with 26% of responses, closely followed by 25% who opted to impress the matriarch.

Interestingly, there was very little difference in male responses between each category, 29% said children, 27% said mother and 27% said friends, whilst 17% said father. In contrast, women's responses were far less uniform, 39% said children, 24% said mother, 24% said friends and 13% said father. This may indicate that men are less likely to see the need to impress those around their partner, whilst women are more inclined to seek approval and acceptance from those closest to their partner.

Outside of gender, age also affected members' responses. Those aged 18-24 were the most likely to appeal to their partner's mother (16%) or father (7%). Friends were most likely to be targeted by members aged 25-30. Whilst children were the dominant focus for those aged 51-60. Arguably, the older the partner, the more likely they are to have children and the less likely they are to having living parents, thus older members sought the approval of their partner's children more than that of their parents; the reverse is also likely to be true.

Additional information:
Smooch surveys are extremely detailed, incorporating information about its respondents as detailed as facial hair and weight, allowing us to unearth the following strange facts.

• Those who said they did not like children were most likely to try and impress their partner's friends (36%).
• Only a fifth of those who wanted children would try to impress their partner's children.
• Teetotal members were most likely to appease their partner's children (36%) whilst regular drinkers thought it was more important to impress the friends (32%)
• Libras are the most likely to attach themselves to their partner's mother, while fathers are the target of Scorpios. Virgos were the most likely to seek approval from their partner's friends, and children are the object of a Capricorn's attention.

Research:
Smooch.com polled 13,627 members over a three day period. Members responses remain anonymous, however, detailed statistics such as age, height, weight, build, attractiveness, hair colour, hair style, facial hair, drinking and smoking habits, education, salary and even star sign.

Lust & Marriage – 52% Of Men Would Say

‘I Do, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh’ To A Porn Star

Results from a series of studies conducted by free dating website Smooch.com reveal that men are 7 times more likely than women to date and marry a porn star.

Members of the website were asked the question, ‘Would you date a porn star?’. More than half the men surveyed said they would date a porn star compared to only 7% of women. Unsurprisingly, those who said they were using dating sites for “fun” were the most likely (58%) to date a porn star.

Having establshed the nation’s willingness to date a porn star, Smooch asked members whether they would be willing to marry one. Whilst the percentage of those willing to marry a porn star declined, surprisingly nearly 30% of men said they would marry a porn star. Nevertheless, the ratio between men and women remained the same; as with dating a porn star, seven times more men (28%) said they would marry a porn star than women (4%).

Arguably, although more members would choose to date a porn star, than to marry one, the results suggest that not all of the members who would date a porn star were motivated by sexual desire. Thus it would appear that in a reversal of the historically traditional position, men are more accepting of a ‘sexually experienced’ partner than women.

Additional information:
Smooch surveys are extremely detailed, incorporating information about its respondents as detailed as facial hair and weight, allowing us to unearth the following strange facts.

• Moustaches were arguably a requirement for men in the adult industry during the 70s. Nowadays, men with beards are more than twice as likely to date a porn star than men with moustaches.

• Think “lad’s mag” centrefold and you instantly think blonde; however only 23% of blondes would date a porn star compared to 40% of those with black hair.

• People who described themselves as average looking were less likely to marry a porn star (19%) compared to 38% of users who described themselves as ‘stunning’.

• Low wage earners are far less likely (25%) to fantasize about the plumber than those with a high range salary (64%).

Members aged 31-35 were the most likely to date a porn star (42%), and those aged 36-40 were the most likely to marry a porn star (24%). Either side of these age groups agreement gradually declines, though it is unlikely for the same reasons.

Research:
Smooch.com polled 2,909 members over a 12 hour period for the first survey, and 1,085 members in the follow up study.

Sex and the Settee – 18 Times More Men Go Online For Sex

A new survey by Smooch.com reveals that men are 18 times more likely than women to use dating websites for sex

It should come as no surprise that what men want couldn't be more different than what women want. Members of the free online dating website Smooch.com were asked what their main reason was for using the internet dating. 18% of men claimed that sex was their main objective, compared to only 1% of women.

Feeling flirty at thirty, or naughty at forty? You're not alone, according to the survey, respondents aged 25-30 were the most likely to go online for sex, closely followed by those aged 36-40.

Nevertheless, the majority of men and women reported to use dating websites to search for a relationship rather than friendship, dates or sex. More than half of the women surveyed (56%) said they used such websites with the hope of finding a relationship. Similarly, 42% of men polled used the site to find a long term partner.

Members of the free gay chat website ManCentral.com were also asked to define their main reason for using internet dating. Just under half of the men (45%) surveyed admitted to using dating websites for sex, more than double that of the men on Smooch. In addition, only a fifth of members of the website claimed to use online dating to find a long-term partner.

The survey was extremely detailed and revealed some intriguing, if not bizarre, facts about income, height and facial hair in relation to their motives on dating websites:

• Women in search of a relationship should steer clear of men with beards; men with full beards were most likely (38%) to use the internet for sex. However, men with sideburns are most likely (55%) to look for a relationship online.

• Taller people are more likely to use internet dating websites for sex, whereas shorter people are most likely to be in search of a relationship.

• High-earners were the most likely to use internet dating for sex (42%). In contrast, low-earners were more likely to seek a relationship (57%).

Those looking for a relationship in Middlesbrough are likely to find little success in the local bar with 86% of members from Middlesbrough looking for a relationship on Smooch.com. For the more promiscuous and liberal members, look no further than Stoke-on-Trent and Wolverhampton.

Research:

Smooch.com polled 3,744 members and ManCentral.com polled 3,236 members over a 24 hour period. Detailed statistics & breakdowns available on request. Members who answered the surveys remained anonymous to ensure an honest and accurate response.

Health Is More Important Than Beauty and Wealth for Singletons in 2010

New research by Smooch.com reveals that almost half of us are aiming for a healthier lifestyle in the New Year.

It's that time of year again when we all evaluate our lives over the past 12 months and set ourselves goals for the year ahead. Members of the free dating website Smooch.com were asked what they hoped to achieve in 2010 through their New Year's resolutions.

Nearly half of the members surveyed (48%) hoped to be healthier in the new year. This rose by six percent in comparison to last year. In contrast, only 7% set themselves the goal to increase their attractiveness; this fell from the 10% in the previous year.

With the increased media exposure of issues such as obesity, binge-drinking and the effects of smoking in the past year, it is likely that people are taking note and working from the inside out.

Despite the credit crunch of 2009, only 16% of members aimed to be wealthier in the coming year. Interestingly, this also fell slightly from 18% last year. Whether people feel more comfortable in the economic climate or have simply become accustomed to it is unclear, however it appears to have had little impact on our hopes for the future.

Women were most likely to make resolutions to be more attractive and more healthy in 2010 whilst men were more likely to aim for wealth. In contrast, last year, men were more likely than women to aim for wealth and attractiveness.

Members of the free gay dating and chat website ManCentral.com were asked the same question, the results were relatively comparable with that of Smooch. However, in contrast to the 7% of Smooch members, 13% of Man Central members hoped to be achieve greater attractiveness through their New Year's resolution. Similarly, whilst 16% of Smooch members aimed for wealth, 20% of Man Central members surveyed hoped to be richer.

Overall, despite gender, age and sexuality, for the members of both Smooch and Man Central health was their main aim for 2010.

The survey from Smooch also found that:

• Cancerians were the most likely to aim for a healthier lifestyle in 2010. Aries' were the most hopeful of increasing their attractiveness, whilst Capricorns were the most likely to aim for wealth in the New Year.

• Heterosexual members of Smooch.com were more likely than bisexual and gay members to not make a resolution at all.

• Younger members were most likely to aim to improve their health and attractiveness, this gradually declined as age increased.

• Those aged 31-35 were most concerned by their financial status in 2010.

Smooch.com polled 1,456 members and ManCentral.com polled 1,254 members over a 2 hour period. Detailed statistics & breakdowns available on request.
