LOS ANGELES — AdamEve.com has revealed the results from their annual sex survey, which aims to show how much cash men and women typically spend on lingerie per year.
While nearly 83 percent of those polled reported they spent less than $100 per year on lingerie, nearly 16 percent said they spent between $100 and $500 per year. Less than two percent of the respondents said they spent over $500 per year.
When broken down between males and females, the results were nearly the same for the company.
While 84 percent of the men and 81 percent of the women said they spent less than $100 on undies each year, 14 percent of the men and 17 percent of the women spent between $100 and $500 per year. And 1.73 percent of the men vs. 1.75 percent of the women admitted they spend more than $500 each year.
Dr. Jenni Skyler, resident sexologist at Adam & Eve, thinks these numbers do not tell the whole story, explaining, “In the United States, lingerie is a $13 billion industry. But there is a big difference between cotton underpants and sports bras and corsets, nighties and fantasy-wear.”
“Many people view lingerie as an important part of foreplay and intimacy," she added. "Whether wearing lingerie makes you feel more sensual, or you choose to wear it for your partner, the act of wearing it and removing it plays an important role for many in the bedroom. I encourage couples to find out if lingerie can be a part of their sexual repertoire.”
Chad Davis, director of marketing for Adam & Eve, said, “Adam & Eve carries a wide variety of lingerie and fantasy-wear in all styles and sizes. From teddies to nightgowns to crotchless panties, AdamEve.com has something for everyone’s style and comfort level.”
According to a rep, the web-based survey — which was sponsored by Adam & Eve "to study sexual preferences and practices" — was conducted by an independent third party survey company and polled over 1,000 American adults ages 18 and up.
