Tripcentral.ca engaged IPSOS Reid, the world's leading survey-based marketing research firm, to poll more than 1,000 women across Canada about their sexual experiences while on vacation. In our first installment, we talked about sex outside the hotel room. Now let's concentrate on sex inside the hotel room!
We asked women, "What do you do when you hear the noisy neighbours in the next room having sex?" Our findings concluded that there are three types of erotic eavesdroppers:
Only 2% of women surveyed said they became so angry they had to speak to the staff.
13% of women ages 18-34 are aroused by the sexy sounds.
8% of women ages 45-60 admit they, too, feel a spark from the noisy neighbours.
46% of women 35-44 claim that listening to another couple's loud lovin' through the walls is moderately annoying, but they simply turned up the TV to drown out the noise.
37% of women ages 45-60 were also slightly bothered by the noisy naughtiness.
"Excuse me it sounds like you're having a fabulous vacation! Here's the receipt for my industrial ear plugs - please slip the money under my door later and enjoy your evening." OK, we made that one up. Here are the actual facts:
51% of women said they would just smile at them politely, making no effort to call any more attention to the embarrassing moment.
11% of younger respondents are significantly more likely to avoid eye contact at all costs
4% of older women shyly turn away in avoidance as well
A whopping 12% of out-going women claimed they would mention to the couple that it sounds like they're having a nice vacation! This response was most common among couples who are:
Eleven percent of women said they simply giggle and keep on walking.
I guess we outgrow our shyness as we get on in years.
8% of the women polled say they've been interrupted by hotel/cruise staff while having sex
If you're on vacation and casually dating, you're twice as likely to have been interrupted by hotel staff:
14% casual dating versus 7% for married/common law
Hmm, are the casual daters getting caught more often simply because they're doing it more often? Or maybe it's the noise that's compelling staff to investigate. I guess we'll never know!
We've covered the noisy neighbours - now let's talk about the exhibitionists!
13% of women surveyed say they've left the blinds or curtains open while being intimate
17% of 18-34 year olds have left the blinds or curtains open, significantly higher than those aged 45-60 at only 10%
Those married or living common law are much less likely to leave the curtains/blinds open - only 11% compared to 20% for those casually dating or in a serious relationship
Seems like unmarried, casual daters are the ones eager to show off!
Younger women are far more likely to...
...have sex in the bathroom or shower while sharing a hotel room with others:
...wait for the opportunity when no one is in the room:
...find somewhere else to have sex:
Older women are much more likely to wait until they get back home:
Whether they're on the balcony or in the shower, one thing's for sure - younger women ages 18-34 are far more likely to find creative ways to be intimate while sharing a room on vacation
