02.28.13Porn Star statsWhat is the average American porn star like? Jon Millward spent months analysing data from the Internet Adult Film Database and discovered that American adult performers are most likely to be white brunettes, 5’ 5” tall with an average size bust of 34B. Most are 22 years old when they debut and generally last three years in the industry. 87% have done facials; 62% have performed anal but only 53% have taken part in interracial scenes. US porn stars are most likely to be born in California; the most common porn star name is Nikki Lee.

02.25.13Oops! Wrong Person!One in seven people have sexted the wrong person. That's according to a survey done by a mobile phone insurance company. Hmmm... I have my doubts. Let me explain why. Apparently the "wrong" people were as follows: Friend – 37 percent; Ex-partner – 25 percent; Colleague – 17 percent; Family member – 9 percent; Stranger – 7 percent To send a suggestive message, or worse still, a picture, to a family member is presumably a mistake... at least one hopes so. Ditto a stranger. But a friend, ex or colleague? I bet a good deal of those were "accidentally on purpose", a sort ...

02.05.13Valentine’s Day, Irish styleDurex have been quizzing Irish people to find out what they think about Valentine's Day. Here's what we had to say: • Valentine’s Day is important for 55 per cent of us who believe it is a good opportunity to show their partner how much they love them • However, 40 per cent of men either don’t notice Valentine’s Day or think it is over commercialized. Can’t argue with that. • 1 in 3 women hope a secret love interest will surprise them to make Valentine’s Day as a single more exciting. Keep dreaming ladies… • 22 per cent have scored a random so ...

10.17.12STATS FROM NATIONAL CONDOM WEEKWow, I have been banging on for years about the importance of sex education and it seems I am talking to a brick wall. Results from Durex's survey for National Condom Week reveal that just over half of Irish 18-year-olds will leave secondary school with any formal sexual health education at all. A third of all Irish people have received none. So where are we learning about sex? 41 percent say their friends and peers enlightened them, 35 percent read up on the subject in books, 31 percent look to magazines and 27 per cent get it from television. No porn? I ...

07.23.12Irish do well in latest Durex Sex SurveyAh, I love a good survey... Every year the Durex Sexual Wellbeing Global Survey tries to give a snapshot of sexual attitudes and behaviours around the world. The 2012 survey had some interesting stats on the Irish and it is mostly good news: Two thirds of Irish couples have sex at least once a week - that's more than the Japanese (27%), Aussies (62%) and the Swiss (62%). We spend an average of 17 minutes on foreplay - that's the global average, which means we're not slacking but not exactly putting in extra effort either. Room for improvement I think... We also spend ...

04.02.12BOOBS = CAREER BOOST?In the forthcoming issue of Hot Press I'm writing about men who stare at women's boobs (and women who stare at men's assets too!). So I was pleased to come across this little gem which claims that 1 in 7 British women use their breasts to get ahead. It should be pointed out that the survey of 1000 British women was conducted by Wonderbra. So not exactly scientific evidence... Now personally I don't any problem with getting out the girls on a date. We all try and put our best...ehem... foot forward when we are after a little something something from the ...

08.19.10Younger brothers ruin your sex life! Or maybe not…Eghad! Imagine my shock and horror when I saw the headline in the UK Metro which screamed: "Your sex life can be ruined by your little brother! Any girl knows that having a little brother can be annoying, but worse than that, they can wreck your sex life." I have a younger brother! Oh no! Would a little fratricide be necessary to ensure my sex life stayed happy? And although he is my little brother, he is physically bigger than me, so how the hell was I supposed to rid myself of this sex-destroying sibling? It was a good thing I ...

07.14.10Half of all ladies prefer to keep their clothes on…If the results of the survey by MyCelebrityFashion.co.uk can be believed, 48% of women prefer to keep at least one item of clothing on in bed. The reason for this, according to more than half of the respondents who felt this way, is that it improved body confidence. What's more, their top choice is a bra, which I'll admit is a very useful item of clothing during the day, but not particularly comfortable to sleep in. It's a fairly sad state of affairs if you dislike your body so much you don't want your nearest and dearest to look at it ...

06.22.10Sex Irish styleThe results of the 2010 Durex Sex Survey are in and as always, the study reveals some interesting and downright surprising information about Irish sex lives. For one thing Dublin’s cosmopolitan urbanites might think they are pretty sophisticated but our country cousins are more likely to engage in a threesome. 23.4% of rural dwellers have had group sex compared to 21.8% of Dubliners. Okay, that’s not a huge difference, but still! Continue Reading...

05.11.10Feminists are also better in bed!Despite their image as ugly man-haters, feminists are better lovers. Fact! A study published in the journal Sex Roles surveyed students and older adults. They found that students and older women who had male partners that considered themselves feminists had happier relationships and that men with female feminist partners were more sexually satisfied. Just letting you know... Read more here.
