Researching a survey that has already been conducted and with results was a tricky matter to grasp what I wanted to research the research. So I chose to do it on a topic I can see anywhere and have an interest in ( as educational and realistic purposes) SEX. The survey is called POLL: American Sex Survey; A Peek Beneath the Sheets. This alone caught my eye. When headlines have great wording I am automatically dragged to them.
This survey went on for over a few pages but the research they found went in to full depth and detail of all types of sexual orientation. I found this to be a great survey because it involves everyone in this world not just men and woman. “Sometimes, it's just about sex. Usually not: The vast majority of Americans are monogamous and happy about it, expressing satisfaction with their sex lives and a broad preference for emotional commitment in sexual relationships. Most by far prefer marriage to the single life.”(http://abcnews.go.com/Primetime/PollVault/story?id=156921&page=1)
What I found so true and really made me think a bit deeper on this survey just to look at the top coat of it was that it said “But there's more to sex in America in 2004 than that 1950s picture suggests.”(http://abcnews.go.com/Primetime/PollVault/story?id=156921&page=1) I believe this statement to be true and it shows that there is more to sex than what was done in the past and how it was depicted. People believe if they have sexual talk or are thinking outside of the “norm” of sex they are bad, or going to hell, or whatever crazy talk people put into their heads. But what I realized in life and in this survey that it’s natural to think of sex, speak about it, and even fantasize about weird-odd things, its natural and its human. Most people are brought up to not fully indulge or even just talk about temptation or what it is they like. I think it restrains the person and that’s what causes more people to stray away or disappear from a stress-free, open relationship with themselves. “Moreover, the survey finds that satisfaction with sex does matter. A statistical analysis identifies some of the factors independently related to satisfaction with sex, marriage and life more broadly. Among other findings, it shows that activities such as discussing fantasies with a partner contribute to an exciting sex life, that an exciting sex life contributes to a happy marriage and that a happy marriage contributes to life satisfaction.”(http://abcnews.go.com/Primetime/PollVault/story?id=156921&page=1)
This is a great survey and I highly suggest you check out the links to see each category broken down and see exactly where you may stand on these questions, or even find out some information that you may not have known and wanted to know. This last thing I wanted to say is that everybody does need a little help and this statement finalized that for me. “Finally, a sex survey can't be complete without a mention of Viagra and similar drugs. Six percent of sexually active Americans say they or their partner take such medications, with its use rising sharply after age 50. Among men 50 and over, 17 percent -- one in six -- get a little help.” (http://abcnews.go.com/Primetime/PollVault/story?id=156921&page=4)
