Technology has made young people neurotic about sex There's no doubt that technology is also playing a large (and often conflicting) role in the sex lives of those who are living and learning in the internet age. But to what extent are they affected? Dazed recently conducted the largest anonymous survey ever of what digital youth do in the bedroom and on the screen. Around 10,500 men and women from 114 countries answered questions about love, sexuality, and relationships, and the results are published today. No surprise, plenty of us are porn consumers. Both women and men like it, with 59pc watching one to five times a week. Male preferences are pretty straightforward: heterosexual guys like watching boy-girl sex, while gay guys like boy-boy. However, while a straight woman likes boy-on-girl porn too, she's far more likely to watch girl-on-girl. Furthermore, twice as many women chose "other" as their favourite porn-type than guys, suggesting that mainstream porn perhaps doesn't cater to female's taste as much as their male equivalents. But it's not just in the online sphere that tech is affecting our sex lives. Apps are increasingly helping us to make IRL introductions. 10% of heterosexuals primarily use apps to hook up (of which men generally are only marginally more likely than women to hook-up digitally). However gay guys and girls are far more likely; Over 50% Of gay men primarily use apps to hook up. Gay men don't treat sexual health casually, though, they are the most careful demographic, using protection and getting tested more frequently than anyone else. In fact, the younger you are, the safer you are (and while this result could well be skewed by the tendency of older people to be settled in long-term relationships, it bucks the popular presumption that young people are necessarily sloppy about protection). Perhaps most interestingly of all were the answers about our understanding of what technology has done to our psyches. Despite indulging in it often, more people say technology has made their sex lives more "neurotic" than "erotic." Nearly 80% of people say that sex is important to them, but it appears that sex actually becomes increasingly important to us as we get older. When it comes to relationships, one in five of us see polyamory (accepting multiple partners) as the perfect set-up. As suspected though, straight guys are bigger fans of multiple partner relationships than straight girls. The largest number of "happy singles" can be found in the Middle East, while Europeans are the least satisfied with singleton status. Heart-warmingly, the importance of love was constantly a majority consensus. Ultimately, for the lion's share of people across all demographics and locations, love and sex are intimately, inextricably linked. 68% say that regardless of any of other factors, love is "everything."
