Is Sex Better on Vacation? 53% of Canadian Women Think So!

Part 3: Is Sex Better on Vacation? 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.

HAMILTON, ON, Feb. 12, 2013 /CNW/ - Vacation seller tripcentral.ca announced its third release of vacation sex survey results, polling 1,013 Canadian women about their sexual thoughts and habits while on vacation. IPSOS Reid conducted the survey for tripcentral.ca using a sophisticated online methodology.*

The complete survey results are available on the tripcentral.ca website along with a summary presentation with raw data counts highlighting provincial, relationship status and other breakdowns.

"Releasing our final survey results near Valentine's Day seemed appropriate," said tripcentral.ca President Richard Vanderlubbe. "In the dead of winter when sun vacations are on Canadians' minds, it's interesting to explore the motivations and needs for couples to get away, recharge and reconnect. And on this topic, no one really cares what men think," continued Vanderlubbe. "So we asked a thousand Canadian women some probing questions."

Fifty-three percent of women polled said that sex was better on vacation than at home, and 63% of younger women ages 18-34 agreed. When asked why, leading answers from those who said an annual vacation away was important to them included:

• 28% said "less stress"
  
  
• 27% said "more relaxing"
  
  
• 16% said "more time" and "being in a romantic setting"

Additional findings:

• 30% of women have planned vacation dates around a menstrual cycle
  
  
• Younger respondents have more sex on vacation than at home (58%)
  
  
• 29% of women said that sex on vacation is not better because there are so many other things to see and do

*These are some of the findings of an Ipsos Reid poll conducted August 17th to 24th, 2012, on behalf of tripcentral.ca. Females contacted who were not in a relationship and/or had taken a vacation, by plane, outside of Canada in the last 3 years were screened and prevented from completing the survey. A survey with an unweighted probability sample of this size and a 100% response rate would have an estimated margin of error of +/- 3.1 percentage points, 19 times out of 20, of what the results would have been had the entire population of females, aged 18-60, who are in a relationship and had taken a vacation, by plane, outside of Canada in the last 3 years been surveyed.
