body+soul sex survey reveals the truth about Aussie relationships

body+soul’s nationwide YouGov Galaxy Survey not only reveals how Australians are finding love but what we really want when it comes to matters of the heart — and it’s not just all about sex.

Body & Soul Mates Sex Survey

The dating world has undergone a massive transformation over the past 10 years.

Thanks to the advent of dating apps, 8 million Aussies are now finding love online, but despite being more connected than ever, 46 per cent of couples still want more time together.

In part two of body+soul’s nationwide YouGov Galaxy Survey, we not only reveal how Australians are finding love — but also what they’re looking for and what they consider a deal-breaker.

“The fact that both men and women want more time together is indicative of today’s society,” body+soul psychologist Jacqui Manning says.

“By taking time off to really talk to each other or have a holiday, you’ll be in a better mood, which in turn helps you feel more connected and makes romance more interesting.”

Jacqui Manning says the visual cortex in a man’s brain is larger, “so naturally men are more visual creatures”.

“This doesn’t mean men are shallow, but it does highlight that women are more primed for communication — or that they may consider other qualities like humour sexy as well as appearance.”
