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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Who Will Be Filling Your Partner's Stockings This Christmas?

As the work Christmas party looms should you worry about your partner's fidelity

A series of studies carried out by the free dating website Smooch.com and gay chat website Mancentral.com highlights that when it comes to trusting cheats, some gender divisions will never change.

But what can you really take away from this research? Well, for the ladies, if you do fall foul of the Babycham this Christmas over a third of men will forgive you. As for the men...nearly two thirds of women won't just be roasting chestnuts by an open fire this holiday season.

Additional breakdowns revealed:

• People with a PhD (67%) are almost twice as likely to respond 'Definitely' than those with a Masters Degree (34%).

• Unsurprisingly, divorcees (59%) are less forgiving than those who are married (29%).

• People in a relationship (19%) are nearly 4 times as likely to choose 'It's only cheating if you get caught' than Single respondents (5%).
