Adam & Eve Releases Results of Consumer Survey Examining 'Dirty Talk'

HILLSBOROUGH, N.C. — Adam & Eve has released a new survey that compares results to the same questions they asked 10 years ago about exploring dirty talk during sex.

According to the findings, "adults aren’t partaking in dirty talk quite as much as they used to,” a rep said. “In 2011, 12% of the respondents said they always talked dirty during sex, while 11% of 2021’s respondents did. Over 38% of those surveyed in 2011 said they sometimes engaged in dirty talk, compared to 31% in 2021.”  

Other results found that while 29% of those polled in 2011 said they rarely talked dirty, only 20% admitted they did so in 2021. Additionally, 18% of the respondents in 2011 said they never engaged in dirty talk, compared to 20% of those polled in 2021.

Dr. Jenni Skyler, resident sexologist at Adam & Eve, shared her thoughts on this data.

“While using dirty talk in the bedroom can be fun and exciting, many people tend to engage in lovemaking for comfort and reconnection during times of heightened stress,” Skyler said. “During uncertain times, couples often prefer intimacy – more eye contact, skin-on-skin stimulation and cuddling – to rougher, more aerobic sex.”

The web-based survey, conducted by an independent third party survey company of over 1,000 American adults age 18 and up, was sponsored by Adam & Eve to study sexual preferences and practices.
