Introduction

This report looks at a range of sexual interests and relationship types between the ages of 18 to 60. Each area has it’s own trend chart as well as a description and discussion points. The data was collected from member profiles of saucydates.com which is a 100% free casual dating site. At the time of this report the site’s membership is in the order of 1.2 million members with the majority from US / UK / AU / CA.

The data

Please remember the data is a ‘snap shot in time’ and is not following the same person year after year. As a member’s age increases they may or may not change their interest levels in certain sexual activities. Interest in certain sexual activities is likely to be higher than the reported value as this information is shown publicly on member’s profiles and some members may wish to keep some data private. Data was extracted from a set of 5,000 randomly chosen males and females from within the saucydates.com database.

Affairs

The graph below plots age vs interest level in affairs. This combines people wanting an affair with people willing to be involved within an affair.

Affairs: Age VS Percentage of Members

Interest in affairs with age

Description:
Members interesting in having an affair or singles being involved in an affair.

Discussion:

  • Males are more interested in affairs than females
  • The older the male the more interest he has in affairs
  • Female’s peak interest in affairs occurs in her early 30s

Men and affairs
Do you expect men to have more interest in affairs than women? Women can trust their 18 year old boyfriend more than their 60 year old husband even though causal sex is more prolific within the younger generation.

Women and affairs
The women's interest level in having an affair is much more varied. She is most interest around the age of 30 which is an age often said to be her sexual peak. The overall interest level in affairs for both sexes is generally similar, women can be just as much unfaithful as men.

If you get caught

Casual relationships

The graph below shows interest level in casual relationships for males and females across age range.

Casual Relationship: Age VS Percentage of Members

Interest in casual relationships with age

Description:
A casual relationship is one with no commitment. It generally means people interested in meeting purely for sex. This may be a single encounter (1 night stand) or prolonged.

Discussion:

  • Generally males and females interest in casual relationships decreases with age
  • Females gain interest again between the ages of 50 and 60. This matches with their increased interest in affairs and group sex when over 50
  • Males are consistently more interested in a causal relationship than females of a similar age
  • Casual sex occurs most between the ages of 18 and 25

The causal online dating market is always male dominated, be suspicious of brands who claim to have an excess of female members. Men have to work harder at getting a date on casual sites than women do.


Serious relationship

This graph shows interest in a serious relationship with age.

Serious relationship: Age VS Percentage of Members

  • Older females regain some interest in a serious relationships where males do not

The best age for males and females to have an equal interest in a serious relationship is in their mid thirties. This can make it particularly challenging for women wanting children as age starts to become a critical factor. Ideally the women needs to find a committed man in her late twenties to have enough time to be sure the relationship will work and to conceive or look for an older man.

  • Above the age of 40 the male’s interest in group sex remains consistent

Females can often be in a relationship with a man and look for group sex involving another female. Single men will have an interest in group sex (likely two females) but this will be much hard to achieve due to a majority of couples looking for a single female.

  • Male interest in cybersex is generally consistent throughout the age spectrum
  • Females interest overtakes males interest over the age of 21
  • The trend line for females interested in cybersex follows that of females interested in affairs

Females may be more interested in cybersex as it offers a safer environment to experiment with a new partner. Cybersex may be used before a female agrees to met a partner in real-life.
