Original dating research, statistics and infographics

Find Saucy Dates’ original research in one place. This index brings together published surveys, profile analysis and archive stories, with links to full reports, sample sizes and downloadable graphics for journalists, editors and researchers.

Start with the original report before quoting a figure. Its questions, respondent group and historical context matter as much as the headline.

Start with the stories that travelled

Explore our research into how long sex lasts, the world’s best and worst lovers and mile high club experiences. For a broader dataset, see our survey of 45,526 people about relationships.

Research and asset index

The year column records original publication years confirmed in the current reports, not the date a page was recently edited. “Not confirmed” means the publication year still needs checking; please contact us before assigning a date. Sample sizes are the overall published samples, not necessarily the number answering each question or each country’s sample.

Graphic links download the existing files where supported by your browser. They are published artwork, not raw respondent data. Reports without a separate graphic link contain their results in tables.

Using our statistics and images

You may cite our published findings and use the supplied research graphics with credit to Saucy Dates. Please link to the original report, rather than only linking to an image or this index, so readers can check the context.

Suggested credit: “Source: Saucy Dates, [report title], [original publication year if confirmed].” For online coverage, make the report title a link to its original page.

  • Keep the sample, question and study date with the statistic.
  • Describe survey answers as reported experiences or preferences, not independently measured facts.
  • Do not describe historical results as a new survey or treat members of our dating network as representative of all adults.
  • Keep chart labels and source credits intact. Make clear when you have created your own chart from the published figures.
  • Separate original findings from newer editorial commentary and external research discussed on an updated page.

For confirmation of a date, a subgroup count or an asset’s intended use, contact us. Please also send us a link when your story is published.
