Sex, Lust and Love Survey Results
Vue Weekly Sex, Lust and Love Survey Results
At long last, Vue Weekly’s Sex, Lust and Love issue. About three months ago we decided it was our business to know what Edmontonians were doing behind closed doors, but we didn’t think we could just walk up to you and ask, so we devised a plan and built a survey. And wouldn’t you believe it, Edmontonians just volunteered all sorts of intimate details of their kinky lives. We learned some new things, and we hope you will, too. Enjoy!
1) Are you a guy or a girl?
58% Guys
42% Girls
This was supposed to be an easy question but even some of you got it
wrong!
2) Are you Straight, Gay or Bisexual?
| Female | Male | |
| Straight | 81% | 80% |
| Gay | 5% | 11% |
| Bi-Sexual | 14% | 9% |
Well, there it is! This shows that the portion of straight people in the
two genders are virtually equal. The big news is the amount of bisexual
ladies, who outnumber gays three to one. Perhaps lesbians are less likely to
read our paper, or they just thought this survey was silly!
Results like these can cause heart conditions and palpations to members of
the Conservative party. Card carrying members of said party should dismiss
responses as propaganda.
3) How old are you?
| Female | Male | |
| 13-17 | 5% | 4% |
| 18-27 | 57% | 42% |
| 28-37 | 25% | 31% |
| 38-45 | 10% | 11% |
| 46+ | 2% | 12% |
The vast majority of us are between 18 and 37 but if you are sitting
somewhere and you see a guy and a girl, each reading this paper, the guy is
probably older.
I hope you didn’t lie because we’ve already done the retina scan
and all your information, including your age, income level, Bank PIN, is
currently being processed by our service department.

4) Your commitment level is….
| Female Straight | Female Queer | Male Straight | Male Queer | |
| Single | 27% | 27% | 27% | 53% |
| Attached (not married) | 57% | 36% | 34% | 30% |
| Married | 12% | 15% | 33% | 11% |
| Just screwing around | 4% | 21% | 6% | 6% |
For the purposes of this question, those who answered bisexual and gay
will be placed in the queer file. We only have so much space! Wow, the single
girls love having partners but aren’t rushing to the altar, where it
seems their boyfriends are waiting.
Nice and even, and notice that we didn’t specify that those just
screwing around had to be single. But again, the divorced are not included.
Time to file a human rights claim.
5) Since last year, are you…
| Female Straight | Female Queer | Male Straight | Male Queer | |
| Same story, new year | 67% | 49% | 69% | 74% |
| Newly single | 16% | 27% | 13% | 18% |
| Attached to someone new | 17% | 24% | 18% | 8% |
What can you say? Gay girls are changing while everyone is keeping it the
same!
Ah, Edmonton, so reliable year after year.
6) How many years older/younger is your current partner or most recent ex?
| Female Straight | Female Queer | Male Straight | Male Queer | |
| 0-2 Years | 47% | 55% | 53% | 43% |
| 3-5 Years | 31% | 18% | 26% | 8% |
| 6-10 Years | 15% | 18% | 15% | 18% |
| 11 + Years | 7% | 9% | 6% | 10% |
The girls like em a few years apart. Queers seem to want a few more years difference. Hmm.
7) Who is older?
| Female Straight | Female Queer | Male Straight | Male Queer | |
| You | 26% | 27% | 69% | 61% |
| Your partner | 63% | 67% | 24% | 33% |
| Same age | 11% | 6% | 7% | 6% |
We didn’t define same age, but I guess we’ll have to assume
within a year. What else to we learn from this question? We’re not
sure.
Are you a Tom? Or are you a Katie? Maybe you’re a Demi? Ashton? Is that
you?
8) How long is/was your longest relationship?
| Female Straight | Female Queer | Male Straight | Male Queer | |
| Less than 1 year | 22% | 36% | 25% | 39% |
| 2-6 years | 56% | 52% | 46% | 33% |
| 7-10 years | 10% | 6% | 8% | 14% |
| More than 10 years |
12% |
6% | 8% | 14% |
Holy cow! An average of 30 percent of you haven’t had a relationship last longer than a year. I can’t make a funny comment about that cause it’s just sad. Either that or you’re still in high school.
9) When you started your relationship, were you both single?
| Female Straight | Female Queer | Male Straight | Male Queer | |
| Yes | 86% | 64% | 83% | 84% |
| No | 14% | 36% | 17% | 16% |
You queer girls are either breaking hearts or having yours broken. Which is it?

10) In the last month, How many times have you had
sex?
| Female Straight | Female Queer | Male Straight | Male Queer | |
| None | 19% | 21% | 24% | 29% |
| 1-6 | 30% | 28% | 40% | 43% |
| 7-14 | 29% | 18% | 20% | 22% |
| 15-30 | 19% | 21% | 14% | 6% |
| 30 + | 4% | 12% | 3% | 0% |
Yeah sure, more than 30 times a month. You girls are machines! Either you must be a porn star or you didn’t realize that we meant sex with another person. Masturbation, or the use of blow-up dolls and/or vibrators/dildos doesn’t count unless you are with another person.
11) Do you want it more often than you get it?
| Female Straight | Female Queer | Male Straight | Male Queer | |
| Yes | 70% | 76% | 73% | 84% |
| No | 30% | 24% | 27% | 16% |
Who wants less sex? What kind of person are you? I mean really, I truly
want to know.
If you hear the phrase “honey, please get off me. I am not in the
mood,” you are most likely dating a straight chick.
12) On average, How many orgasms do you have per session with your partner?
| Female Straight | Female Queer | Male Straight | Male Queer | |
| None | 16% | 9% | 5% | 4% |
| 1 | 49% | 48% | 70% | 63% |
| 2 | 19% | 18% | 19% | 33% |
| More than 2 | 16% | 24% | 7% | 2% |
If you are dating a guy, count your blessings if you get two out of him. Phew. Looks like I’m with the majority. One and only one.
13) How many times have you masturbated in the last month? (previous 30 days)
| Female Straight | Female Queer | Male Straight | Male Queer | |
| None | 11% | 3% | 9% | 2% |
| 1-6 | 55% | 37% | 29% | 25% |
| 7-14 | 22% | 33% | 24% | 33% |
| 15-25 | 10% | 15% | 17% | 16% |
| 26+ | 2% | 12% | 20% | 24% |
No doubt, those on the 26+ list are men. Right guys? Most of them are masturbating as we read. In fact, if you call your male friend on the phone and he doesn’t answer, odds are he’s jerking off!
14) How old were you when you first
masturbated?
| Female Straight | Female Queer | Male Straight | Male Queer | |
| 1-6 | 10% | 12% | 3% | 4% |
| 7-10 | 14% | 27% | 14% | 18% |
| 11-12 | 19% | 31% | 33% | 47% |
| 13-14 | 19% | 6% | 36% | 25% |
| 15-16 | 14% | 9% | 11% | 6% |
| 17-18 | 8% | 3% | 1% | 0% |
| 18+ | 16% | 12% | 2% | 0% |
11-14 seem to be the years of exploration for the young boys. Huge
percentages; while the girls either got going early or waited until they
could handle it.
Okay my questions is for those of you who first masturbated after turning 18:
what the heck were you doing in your teens? You know there’s no law
saying you had to be legal to play with yourself. You do know that?

15) Have you ever experimented with someone outside your sexual orientation?
| Female Straight | Female Queer | Male Straight | Male Queer | |
| Absolutely Never | 17% | 0% | 57% | 19% |
| Not yet but you never know | 45% | 13% | 22% | 8% |
| Please don’t remind me | 9% | 37% | 10% | 23% |
| Sure have, worth a try | 29% | 50% | 16% | 50% |
To begin with,we didn’t include the bisexuals in these results
because, well they’re bisexual! Queer Edmontonians seem to have sent us
a message that they’re game for switch hitting. So those interested,
give it a go. Straight guys, however, don’t even try. They might freak
out!
Ahh, college. We all experimented in college and we all know it didn’t
mean a thing. What, you didn’t experiment in college? I mean, uhhh,
neither did I? I was just speaking hypothetically, yeah yeah, that’s
it’s.
