The survey shows that sex is important to most respondents: 27.06% say it is “very important” to them, and 41.58% say it is “important” (68.64% combined). An additional 22.11% say it is partly important, while it is unimportant or completely unimportant for around 4% in total, with a smaller share having no opinion or giving no answer.
The first sexual experience, by median, happens around the age of 18 (mode 17; mean 18.98), and is predominantly described as something that happened “in a relationship” (64.78%), much less often as an “adventure” (25.91%). Looking at today’s relationship with the person from that first experience, 37.42% say they are no longer in contact, 19.54% say they are friends, while around 18% are still in a relationship or marriage (9.27% in a relationship; 8.94% married). This suggests that a “first relationship” is temporary for most, but not necessarily without lasting social ties.
The frequency of sexual intercourse in the past year has a median of 50, but with a wide range (0 to 500), indicating strong heterogeneity of experiences. By partner type over the past year, the most common answers are a partner in a relationship (44.55%) and a spouse (38.28%), followed by a “romantic partner” (26.73%), while casual encounters (9.90%) and paid services (3.96%) are marginal. Masturbation also shows a wide range (median 40; maximum 500), pointing to different patterns and intensities.
Subjective satisfaction leans positive: 19.14% rate their sex life as “very satisfying,” and 33.33% as “satisfying” (52.47% combined). About one fifth see it as average (20.13%), while around 21.78% are dissatisfied (13.53% + 8.25%).
On the question “what would you change,” the most pronounced wish is to increase the number of sexual encounters: 28.05% would “significantly increase” it, and 32.67% would “increase” it (60.72% combined). The pattern is similar for romance (59.07% want an increase), as well as for new techniques and positions (over 50% want more), and changing/expanding the places where sexual activity takes place (62.04% want more). By contrast, most would not change the number of partners (60.07% “I wouldn’t change anything”), fidelity (67.99%), the use of stimulants (61.72%), and especially paying for sexual services (73.60%). The overall pattern is clear: respondents more often want “more quality, dynamism, and closeness” within existing relationships than a shift toward a larger number of partners or riskier practices.
The sample profile appears younger and more urban: 60.07% are women; the median age is 30 (mean 32.49); 28.05% are pupils/students, and 14.85% are unemployed. Regionally, Belgrade (centre 28.67%) and Vojvodina (especially Bačka 19%) dominate.
Methodological note: the results come from an online survey with a convenience sample of 303 respondents, so the sample is not necessarily representative. The findings are indicative for survey participants and are subject to self-selection, socially desirable responding, and possible extreme entries in numerical questions.
