Lust & Marriage -- 52% Of Men Would Say ‘I Do, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh’ to a Porn Star
(PRWeb UK) January 15, 2010 -- Members of thefree dating website (http://www.smooch.com)Smooch.com were asked the question, ‘Would you date a porn star?’. More than half the men surveyed said they would date an 'adult' film star compared to only 7% of women. Unsurprisingly, those who said they were using dating sites for “fun” were the most likely (58%) to date an 'adult' film star.
Having establshed the nation’s willingness to date a porn star, Smooch asked members whether they would be willing to marry one. Whilst the percentage of those willing to marry an 'adult' film star declined, surprisingly nearly 30% of men said they would marry one. Nevertheless, the ratio between men and women remained the same; as with dating a porn star, seven times more men (28%) said they would marry one than women (4%).
Arguably, although more members would choose to date a porn star, than to marry one, the results suggest that not all of the members who would date an 'adult' film star were motivated by sexual desire. Thus it would appear that in a reversal of the historically traditional position, men are more accepting of a ‘sexually experienced’ partner than women.
Additional information:
Smooch surveys are extremely detailed, incorporating information about its respondents as detailed as facial hair and weight, allowing us to unearth the following strange facts.
* Moustaches were arguably a requirement for men in the adult industry during the 70s. Nowadays, men with beards are more than twice as likely to date a porn star than men with moustaches.
* Think “lad’s mag” centrefold and you instantly think blonde; however only 23% of blondes would date an 'adult' film star compared to 40% of those with black hair.
* People who described themselves as average looking were less likely to marry an 'adult' film star (19%) compared to 38% of users who described themselves as ‘stunning’.
* Low wage earners are far less likely (25%) to fantasize about the plumber than those with a high range salary (64%).
* Members aged 31-35 were the most likely to date an 'adult' film star (42%), and those aged 36-40 were the most likely to marry one (24%). Either side of these age groups agreement gradually declines, though it is unlikely for the same reasons.
