Young women are most concerned with the quality of their sexual experiences while young men focus on the quantity of their encounters, according to a survey. The study also found that sexual expectations and fears differ between adults who attend university and those who don鈥檛.

Kristin Anders at Kansas State University and her colleagues ran an online survey of 400 university students and 400 adults not at university to determine the differences between their expectations and experiences of sex. All the respondents were between the ages of 18 and 25.

In both groups, about half said they were in an exclusive romantic relationship. They were asked questions about their sexual experience, their strategies for seeking or avoiding sex, and their sexual expectations and fears.

Overall, the most frequently reported category that elicited fear was sexual health, with 47 per cent of respondents saying they were concerned about things like having safe sex or avoiding pregnancy.

The biggest difference聽across genders was their sexual goals 鈥� 45 per cent of men said they were focused on the quantity of their sexual experiences, while only 28 per cent of women said that this was part of their concerns. Conversely, 28 per cent of women said they were concerned with the quality of their sexual experiences, while only 16 per cent of men did.

The authors write that the men鈥檚 focus on quantity 鈥渕ay be indicative of placing more importance on attaining a specific sexual goal for their sexual identity鈥�. In contrast, women may place more emphasis on quality or intimate experiences for their sexual identity, they suggest.

The respondents attending university reported more expectations for sexuality within romantic relationships than those outside of university.

鈥淐ollege students may have access to more potential partners in the college environment, and may be afforded more time for focusing on entering romantic relationships and navigating sexuality in romantic relationships than their non-college peers,鈥� said Anders and her colleagues.

Casual sex has previously been found to be more prevalent among non-students in this age group, and this study found that men who don鈥檛 attend university reported being in more non-exclusive romantic relationships than their student peers.
