Men more likely to want open relationships, according to new Ipsos Reid survey.
A new study from the University of B.C. suggests that a “sizable number of Canadians” would like to be in an open relationship.
“Of that 12 per cent, men came in at 18 per cent and women at six , so that looks like it could lead to a lot of tricky relationship conversations,” said Nichol Fairbrother, assistant professor in the UBC department of psychiatry, who led the Ipsos Reid study.“There’s a ton of research showing men are more receptive to casual sex and more interested in lower commitment and less intensive relationships,” said Fairbrother. “It would be interesting to explore why.
“One of the interesting questions to come out of our study is that only 2.4 per cent of people are in an open relationship, but more would like to be,” said Fairbrother. “It does make one wonder what are the impediments from getting into the relationships that they would like to be in.”
