Under 30 between the sheets, a survey debunks the stereotypes – The Republic

Are complex and fluid behavior, nothing commonplace in the sheets for the kids of Generation X, those under 30 who like to experiment in search of novelty and transgression. Two out of ten had homosexual relations for simple curiosity, using sex toys and camera nonchalantly when they make love but remain romantics who, at least up to 25 years, prefer sex if there is a true relationship. Not to mention that, as they say, seem to have finally forgotten historical guilt and threats of blindness related to solitary pleasure: the practice in fact usually 85 percent (93 males, 78 females).

To tell the children of eighties, thanks to a questionnaire of over 80 questions put online, is the investigation “In my bed,” study co-ordinated in the Department of Humanities of the University of Udine, designed and developed by the “near / far” which organizes the festival of the same name that starts these days in the capital of Friuli.

“We used direct language, explanatory, no questions bogged down, because they felt free to respond honestly and the results would say that the objective has been reached, “says Paul Ermano, professor of international economics at the University of Udine with university researchers examined more than two thousand profiles of young people who responded to the questionnaire. Telling, hidden by anonymity, also that it has suffered 22 percent of the cases sexual attention from adults when they were minors.

But here are the results of the survey. Satisfied with their erotic life – 40 percent gives a vote between 7 and 10 – under 35 have an average of seven sexual intercourse per month, 30 years have had five partners stable and only in 33 percent of cases have betrayed. Here, too, the gap between men and women is minimal, equal a daily practice: 34 percent to 32 percent the faithless men and women.

Sex and love? 37 percent of young people who responded to the questionnaire think that sex should exist an emotional bond, 41 percent absolutely not, and between male and female responses are virtually equivalent, in spite of clichés. Clear ideas, satisfaction and altruism among the things that satisfy more there is to give pleasure to another (75 percent), which exceeds their orgasm (61 percent). But at the top, with 80 percent of the vote, there are complicity and emotional intimacy that you can create with your partner.

When asked what do you prefer to read oral sex (68 per percent) takes the penetration, exceeded even by the kisses on the body (66 per cent) while talking to bed touching 28 percent, ten points ahead of anal intercourse.

Technology, in 32 percent of cases They were photographed or filmed while having sex, a two percent shooting or filming usually in the bedroom to share in 7 percent of cases only with partners. On the web there are, but only 20 percent admit to go more or less often to look for sexual encounters. Who does it tells of having had intercourse only once in 40 percent of cases, once a month or more in 34 percent.

If one in three has betrayed the partners the idea of ​​betrayal many nuances to the youth of the third millennium: if 36 percent just a kiss to consider breached the covenant of faithfulness or if you try with another (28 percent) is another 24 percent so it is not the to identify sexual betrayal, “because it is only a matter of head” to establish the link.
