According to a poll about how slutty London is, 23% of men claimed they have had or would have gay sex, compared to 60% of women.
Time Out London‘s 2013 Sex Survey asked some 10,000 men and women in the UK capital about their depraved sexual habits, which found that basically everyone’s a bunch of liars.
To wit, 76% of respondents claimed they were “better than average” at sex.
Meanwhile, the survey found that in truth, 26% of Londoners are worse than average in bed and don’t have a coital clue, while 24% are well aware of it and still manage to show their faces the next morning.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
Married folks are sleeping singles under the bed, with the legally wed reporting sex on average of five times a month. That’s nothing compared to non-married folks who are shacking up without putting a ring on it; those “in relationships” get it done ten times a month.
So once the UK passes same-sex marriage, the Brit gays can expect their sex life to flat-line just like all other couples. And that’s called equality.
Interestingly enough, one-in-five singles categorized their sex lives as ‘mostly crying’. Nice to know somethings are universal.

If you’ve ever visited London in the last decade, you know it is filled with a ton of attractive people, including lots of hot guys. England has a healthier populace than many places in the world. It is a great place to holiday.

It really depends on how well they selected those 10,000 men and women. An accurate poll needs a broad sampling. Someone else could survey 10,000 people and get just the opposite response. I don’t put a lot into polls but it’s always fun to hear the conclusions they’ve made. This poll could have been conducted by the Chamber of Commerce to increase tourism. 🙂

Just remember, this is London, not the UK as a whole. The populace of London would tend to be more liberal and young than the rest of the country, just like major cities in the US, so the results are definitely skewed.

“76% of respondents claimed they were “better than average” at sex.”
So the “Lake Wobegon Effect” isn’t just an American delusion?
“23% Of London Men Into Gay Sex, Other 77% Probably Lying About It”
That’s funny – Puerto Rico is the same way!

Good to know. Chose the perfect time to come here.

@Will L: It was a self-selecting survey, with the results only “known” to Time Out – ie scientifically meaningless.

It’s possible for 76% of people to be “above average,” although not by very much.
It would not be possible for 76% of people to be above median.

@Publius: What are modes and mean?
