7 takeaways for couples from our Sex & Dating Survey

Who says we’re not romantic? A huge 54 percent of participants of the survey are in a relationship, seven percent find themselves in an open relationship, while 10 percent are in complicated situationships which officially means “a romantic or sexual relationship that is not considered to be formal or established”. Ugh, situationships – we know how frustrating it can be.

Some say that nature is the healer. Looks like it also has the best effect on dates. Most of the people taking the survey has said that some of their best dates have been on hikes or long walks. Need some ideas? We’ve got you covered for the prettiest parks and also the best hikes.

Though exploring the outdoors is a popular date choice, it looks like the classic combo of dinner and a movie are an unbreakable tried-and-tested option. We hope you’re at least breaking the ice in a romantic restaurant to set the mood, or having a nightcap at a dim and cosy bar. 

When it comes to keeping things exciting, about 50 percent of you like to be kept on your toes and stated that you love surprises, spontaneous adventures and the unexpected – the good sort of course. And it also seems that regular sex also helps. 

Before all the fun things and sweet surprises, communicating openly with your partner is what most of you feel is the key to a successful and happy relationship. ‘Communication’ popped up quite a lot in the survey, ahead and on top of spontaneity but hey, being on the same page as your partner is sexy too.

It’s good to see that most of you upped your sex game during the pandemic and chose not to be vanilla when it comes to bedroom antics. We’re all for some good consensual fun, and if you ever need to level up in the equipment department, we know some sex shops.

Thank you for all your feedback! We now know that 56 percent of you would like more content on sexual wellness and 28 percent want to hear more about relationship advice and we’ll keep working on that.
