Here’s How Americans Feel About Open Relationships And Sex Parties

group-sexIt’s fairly clear by the numbers that those surveyed recently about their attitudes towards open relationships and sex parties by HuffPost were mostly heterosexual.

Of course, that’s an assumption based on nothing more than our own observations and…ahem…experiences, but the participants in this survey are generally not-so-freaky when it comes to non monogamous lifestyles. Most, not all, but most.

Here are the results from the questionnaire of 1,000 people (only 906 actually agreed once they knew the topic):

An open relationship is one where both people agree to be non-monogamous. It can include each person having other sexual partners, or the couple inviting other people to engage in sexual activities with both partners in the relationship. Have you ever been in an open relationship?

Yes, I’m in one now. . . 3%
Yes, I have been in one in the past . . . 10%
No . . .86%
Prefer not to say . . . 2%

Would you ever consider being in an open relationship?

Yes . . . 14%
No . . . 72%
Not sure . . . 13%
Prefer not to say . . . 2%

Have you ever attended a party where people engage in sexual activity with multiple partners?

Yes . . . 9%
No . . . 89%
Prefer not to say . . . 2%

Would you ever attend a party where people engage in sexual activity with multiple partners?

Yes . . . 13%
No . . . 75%
Not sure . . . 12%

When broken down by gender and age, males between the ages of 18-39 were the most likely to consider open relationships or have experience with one. They were also the most likely to have been to or want to go to a sex party. Big surprise there.
