Year-End Poll Results: Fights With the Significant Other

DearSugar — Tue, 01 Jan 2008 08:53:17 -0800

To wrap up our year-end coverage, I'm bringing you the results of one last poll, and it's a doozy: How many fights did you have with your significant other in 2007? When you spend a lot of time with someone, it's inevitable that you're going to fight from time to time, and I happen to think that fighting every once in a while can even make your relationship stronger.

Hilariously, the results on this poll were almost evenly split between two very different choices: "Well over 10 fights - we love the make up sex!" with 26 percent of votes, and "I wouldn't say we fight - we bicker" (24 percent). Twenty two percent said you had two to five fights in 2007. Hey, whatever works for you!

Year-End Poll Results: Sex Partners and One-Night Stands

DearSugar — Fri, 28 Dec 2007 11:00:56 -0800

As the year comes to a close, it's hard, if you're single, not to reflect on how many new sexual partners you had this year. If you're a little wilder, you might have even had a few one-night stands. So as part of my year-end coverage, I decided to pry a little bit and poll you about these topics.

It comes as no surprise to me that DearSugar readers lead healthy but responsible sex lives: 56 percent of you had one to five new partners in 2007, 38 percent had none, and very few people had more than 10 new partners.

As for one-night stands, the overwhelming majority of you (71 percent) didn't have any in 2007, while 20 percent of readers had one to four one-night stands. Are you guys surprised by the results?

Year-End Poll Results: Worries and Risks

DearSugar — Thu, 27 Dec 2007 11:00:00 -0800

Worrying is an inevitable part of life; the important thing is not letting those relationship, work, and money worries hamper our enjoyment of life. Worrying too much can prevent us from ever trying new things. So as part of our best of 2007 coverage, I posed two poignant questions: How many risks did you take in 2007, and what was your biggest worry?

Not surprisingly, 40 percent of readers named money as their biggest worry in 2007, while love life was a distant second with 19 percent of the votes. Fortunately, you guys aren't letting those worries get in the way of taking risks: 64 percent of you took anywhere from one to five big risks in 2007, and 10 percent of you said you've taken well more than 15 risks in order to push yourself and grow. Way to go!

We all have things we should do and other things we just wanna do, and sometimes, we need a little reminder that we're allowed to do things our own way!

Year-End Poll Results: How Many Weddings Did You Attend This Year?

DearSugar — Wed, 26 Dec 2007 12:00:59 -0800

I've definitely had my fair share of Summers where it seems every weekend is consumed by a wedding. They can be great fun but also very exhausting and expensive. This year, I was lucky enough to have only three weddings to attend, but I was curious about how many you attended in 2007.

According to my year-end poll, half of you were on par with me, attending anywhere from one to three weddings in 2007. Thirty-five percent of you, surprisingly, didn't attend a single wedding this year, while 12 percent of you made it to three to six. Hey, it could be worse: Three readers said they attended well over 13 weddings!

Year-End Poll Results: Faking Orgasms

DearSugar — Fri, 21 Dec 2007 10:00:41 -0800

According to Tracey Cox, iVillage's sex expert, only 30 percent of women orgasm from penetration alone. Which means that sometimes, we just gotta fake it. So a few weeks ago, I asked you to weigh in on how many orgasms you faked in 2007.

The results were both surprising and encouraging! Most of you aren't faking it at all: The most popular response, with 30 percent of the votes, was "I'm honest with my partner so I don't feel the need to have to fake it." Another 22 percent of you said that you never have to fake it, because you can orgasm easily. I'm glad to hear that so many of you are having highly satisfying and/or very honest sexual relationships.
