ISELIN, N.J. – LifeStyles’ SKYN, the No. 1 non-latex premium condom brand, announces today the results of their annual sex and intimacy survey designed to analyze the behaviors, attitudes and preferences of sexually active Gen Z and millennials. Findings from the 2020 SKYN Sex & Intimacy Survey uncover Gen Z and millennial’s differing perspectives on intimate experiences – the before, during and after.

Committed to strengthening intimacy and sexual encounters, SKYN Condoms, discovers how sexually active adults engage in foreplay, sex…and even cuddling. With the companies’ recent expansion of product offerings that cover all of the phases of intimacy; from intimate accessories and paraben-free lubricants, non-latex premium condoms and intimate refreshing wipes, the brand looks to explore consumer perception and behavior throughout these phases.

Before the sex, comes dating, communication and…foreplay:
  • Modern Romance: More than half of all respondents (66%) agree that dating apps take the intimacy away from meeting someone.
  • Lust at First Sight: 34% of men said they decide whether they want to have sex with someone after just one encounter.
  • Let’s Get Physical: 73% consider intimacy more of an emotion concept vs. physical.
  • Did You Fall From Heaven?: 38% of respondents have had sex with someone who used a pickup line.
  • Foreplay Is A Must: 81% of respondents say they engage in foreplay frequently with 40% saying ‘all the time.’
The survey unveils the below insights related to the attitudes and behaviors during sex:
  • What’s On Your Mind: The majority of respondents (45%) revealed that satisfying their partner is what matters most in bed; with results showing that men care more about satisfying their partner (53%) than women (38%).
  • Fake It Till You Make It: More than half of respondents (55%) have faked an orgasm.
  • Love Is In The Air: Valentine’s Day is the holiday that most people are having sex, with 65% of respondents reporting it’s the day they are most likely to get physical.
  • Most Like It Ruff: Doggy-style remains the favored sex position with 64% of participants listing it as their favorite.
  • Chatty Kathies: When asked “Do you vocalize your preference or give guidance to your partner during sex,” 77% of those surveyed said they do so frequently.
While many may think chivalry is dead, the survey unveils patterns for what comes next after being intimate:
  • Cuddling Is Key: Almost all (88%) respondents frequently cuddle with their partners after sex.
  • Pause for a Pee Break: Many are following the medical advice that peeing after sex is essential to avoiding infection, with more than half (53%) saying that it is the first thing they do.
  • Let’s Get This Sleep: Almost all respondents are sleeping more soundly after having sex. 92% of participants say they frequently sleep better at night if they had sex that day.
  • Taking a Test Drive: Almost all (85%) respondents are more likely to begin a committed a relationship with someone AFTER they’ve had sex with them.
