Dating and Mating on the Internet
“More than 40 million Americans log onto personals sites”, according to a recent survey by MSNBC and Elle magazine, “in search of a serious love connection or a quick fix.” The question is - are they finding it? Listing several interesting statistics, the article includes some interesting discoveries, including:
Among survey respondents, 58 percent of women and 55 percent of men have logged onto a personal site. Of these, roughly half of the women and 36 percent of men said that personals sites have made a positive change in their social life. The sites are also impacting their sex life ? 73 percent of women who?ve gone on real dates with cybermates have slept with one or more of them.
73% huh…? Maybe I should consider switching my online dating service.
In February, Elle asked readers to share their online sex and dating habits and over 15,000 people responded. The answers suggest that our society is in the midst of a new stage of the sexual revolution, one in which the rules of flirting, intimacy and commitment are being challenged — and women are freer to control and explore their own sexuality more than ever before.
Find out more about the wired world of love and lust by reading the following excerpts from the Elle/MSNBC.com Cybersex and Romance Survey, written and analyzed by Janet Lever, a sociologist at California State University at Los Angeles.
