Even though the media and social networks are talking more and more about sex, single people still find it difficult to verbalize their intimate problems.
- 8 million people live alone in France.
- A study conducted by INED and INSEE shows that 36% of women are single, compared to 42% of men.
According to a new survey by Charles.co and happn, taboos around sexuality are still tenacious, at least among single people. 66% of respondents find it “difficult” to consult an expert in the event of sexual disorders. Some because they are ashamed to talk about their privacy (12%), others because they don’t know which specialist to turn to (11%).
However, 7 out of 10 singles who made an appointment with a health professional managed to resolve their problems, and 26% say they have since felt more reassured about their sexuality.
45% of single people lie about their intimate life
45% of single people also admit to having lied about their intimate life to avoid any judgment from others. “On happn, while some do not want to talk about sexual problems with their loved ones, a majority (48%) is comfortable with the idea of discussing it directly with their crush”complete the pollsters. “Whether out of modesty, lack of self-confidence or fear of hurting the other, some single people (36%) still prefer to wait until they know their partner better before discussing it openly”, they add.
Vulvar pain, depression of the vagina, premature ejaculation, breakdowns… In the event of dissatisfaction or persistent sexual disorders, the setting up of a follow-up with a sexologist, a urologist, a gynecologist or a psychologist can, in the majority of cases, help to improve the quality of reports.
