The surveys are in, the answers have been tabulated—everything from whether you're okay with having pets in the room while you're getting it on to whether you'd jump into bed with Jay Inslee—and it's time to unveil this year's crop of sexual secrets.

First things first: Beto O'Rourke is the most bangable presidential candidate. His favorability among straight women, bi women, and gay men carried the day—with a strong finish in the top three of each of those categories of sexual orientation. This is probably the only election Beto is ever going to win, so let's congratulate the tall drink of water from the Lone Star State. Kamala Harris and Cory Booker came in second and third place overall, and no one wants to fuck Jay Inslee (except, presumably, his wife, Trudi).

Pete Buttigieg is popular with gay guys. No surprise there. But one thing that did surprise us is that he's also popular with old people—very, very popular. The older you are, the more you want to get into Mayor Pete's pants. Only 23 percent of respondents 18 to 25 want to bust a nut with Buttigieg, but nearly 60 percent of people ages 76+ do. What do geriatrics see in this guy? Must be the soft manner, the smooth cheeks, and the Harvard pedigree.

Below, you'll also see the results of this year's Fuck, Marry, Kill contest; the percentage of men who identify as straight who've sucked cock (it went up a point since last year); the percentage of women who identify as straight who've eaten pussy (also up a point since last year); the number of sexual partners you and your neighbors have had; the most popular kinks; and titillating information about sex with bosses, sex with billionaires, sex in boats, and sex in hot tubs.

We learned so much more than anyone needed to know about everyone's sex lives, so much more than we could fit into this issue—but not to worry! We've also included some of our favorite write-in answers to the questions "What's the sexiest thing you did in the last year?" and "What's one thing you want to accomplish sexually before you die?" We hope the results surprise and inspire you, and that whatever you do after you read this issue, you use a lot of lube.

And please, if you see poor Jay Inslee on the ferry, tell him he has nice eyes or something.





Straight women, straight men, and lesbians all agreed: They would kill Zac Efron as Ted Bundy, fuck Rami Malek as Freddie Mercury, and marry Taron Egerton as Elton John. However, gay men saw things differently. According to the data, gay men would fuck Zac Efron and kill Rami Malek.



Only 30 percent of respondents said they’d had an orgy—which we defined as “more than 3 people.” But the biggest share of respondents were straight women. Among gay men, 64% said they’d had an orgy. The straight folks who’d been in orgies said it was less fun than they expected, and the gay guys who’d been in orgies said it was more fun than they expected.


Of all the people who completed our anonymous survey, roughly half admitted to having cheated on a partner. Of those cheaters, 57 percent are women and 36 percent are men—which is somewhat surprising, because the stereotype is that it’s men who can’t keep their pants on.



On the question “The people I have sex with I usually meet through
,” straight women said Tinder (27 percent), OkCupid (26 percent), and Bumble (14 percent) were the apps where they most often found sex partners. However, “going to bars” (47 percent) and “work” (44 percent) were more common answers for straight women. (Respondents could choose multiple avenues of meeting people.) Straight men said roughly the same thing as straight women, except slightly more of them used OkCupid (28 percent) than Tinder (26 percent). For gay men, it was a different story. A whopping 56 percent of gay men said Grindr was where they met sexual partners, and 50 percent said Scruff—more popular than “going to bars” (46 percent) or “work” (only 12 percent). Bizarrely, for lesbians, “work” (45 percent) was the most popular answer—followed by “going to bars” (42 percent), Tinder (28 percent), and OkCupid (26 percent).





One in 10 people who took our survey said they’ve received money, gifts, or drugs in exchange for sex work. Of those, 58 percent said they are cisgender women, 30 percent said they are cisgender men, and 12 percent said they are trans or nonbinary. Of the people who told us they’ve paid for sex work, 83 percent are cisgender men (two-thirds of them straight, one-third of them gay).


We didn’t expect any of you filthy sex-survey respondents to say you’ve slept with billionaires—we were totally joking! But 119 respondents say they have had sex with a billionaire, two-thirds of them women. Forty percent of those women say they are currently under the age of 35. We forgot to ask how old respondents were when banging said billionaires.


of people say they’ve thought of someone else while having sex with their primary partner.
