Year-End Poll Results: How Many Weddings Did You Attend This Year?

DearSugar — Wed, 26 Dec 2007 12:00:59 -0800

I've definitely had my fair share of Summers where it seems every weekend is consumed by a wedding. They can be great fun but also very exhausting and expensive. This year, I was lucky enough to have only three weddings to attend, but I was curious about how many you attended in 2007.

According to my year-end poll, half of you were on par with me, attending anywhere from one to three weddings in 2007. Thirty-five percent of you, surprisingly, didn't attend a single wedding this year, while 12 percent of you made it to three to six. Hey, it could be worse: Three readers said they attended well over 13 weddings!

Year-End Poll Results: Faking Orgasms

DearSugar — Fri, 21 Dec 2007 10:00:41 -0800

According to Tracey Cox, iVillage's sex expert, only 30 percent of women orgasm from penetration alone. Which means that sometimes, we just gotta fake it. So a few weeks ago, I asked you to weigh in on how many orgasms you faked in 2007.

The results were both surprising and encouraging! Most of you aren't faking it at all: The most popular response, with 30 percent of the votes, was "I'm honest with my partner so I don't feel the need to have to fake it." Another 22 percent of you said that you never have to fake it, because you can orgasm easily. I'm glad to hear that so many of you are having highly satisfying and/or very honest sexual relationships.

Year-End Poll Results: Fights With the Best Friend

DearSugar — Thu, 20 Dec 2007 16:00:38 -0800

Fighting with a best friend is one of the worst feelings in the world, but when you spend a lot of time with someone, the occasional argument is inevitable. So as part of my year-end coverage, I polled you guys about how many fights you had with your best friend in 2007.

I was delighted to see that most of you - about 40 percent - had zero fights with your BFF in 2007, while 27 percent of readers had just one major fight and 23 percent of you had two to five tiffs. Here's to a conflict-free new year!

Year-End Poll Results: Unsafe Sex

DearSugar — Wed, 19 Dec 2007 13:00:00 -0800

Thanks for being so honest while voting in my Best of 2007 polls over the past few weeks. I must say, after I asked you how many times you had unprotected sex in 2007, I'm thrilled to see that more than half of you practiced safe sex all the time! It looks like all my sex-fact talk is working! Keep up the good work, and click on the following links if you need any more information about birth control or STIs.

Year-End Poll Results: First Dates

DearSugar — Tue, 18 Dec 2007 16:00:00 -0800

Two weeks ago I asked you how many first dates you went on in 2007 and the option of zero to five won by a landslide! I don't know about you, but I hate dating! I feel like I'm being put on the spot, and trying to impress the guy I'm with really isn't much fun.

Even though the majority of you are in committed relationships, there were still 13 percent who were dating machines this year. Since the grass is always greener, let all the taken women out there live vicariously through you and share some of your best- and worst-dating stories of the year! Come on, you must have at least one or two!

Year-End Poll Results: First Kiss

DearSugar — Mon, 17 Dec 2007 16:00:00 -0800

Thank you all for participating in our year-end coverage, it's been a lot of fun to read about what you've all been up to in 2007. For my first poll, I asked you how many first kisses you had in '07, and the results were far less than I anticipated!

Thirty-nine percent of you didn't have any first kisses at all, 53 percent of you had between one and ten, and the remaining nine percent had between 15 and up! It's nice to read in your comments that so many of you only kissed your one and only, but for all you ladies that had to kiss a lot of frogs in 2007, don't give up - sooner than later you're going to kiss a prince, too!

Do Tell: What's the Sexiest Foreign Accent?

TresSugar — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 13:00:00 -0800

Maybe we can blame the foreign exchange students in high school or the soap operas we watched that featured mysterious foreigners whose arrival shook up small towns like the fictional Port Charles. Whatever the cause, a lot of chicks love a foreign accent.

Well, the results of a worldwide poll asking 5,000 women who has the sexiest accent have yielded an answer: the Irish. For decades, French men held the title. (Tant pis, mes amis!) The Irish and their sexy (if indecipherable) lilts were followed by the accents of Italian, Scottish, French and Australian men, in that order. (Americans were in tenth place.)

If you like a man with a foreign accent, what do you think is the sexiest?

Year-End Poll Results: Fights With the Significant Other

DearSugar — Tue, 01 Jan 2008 08:53:17 -0800

To wrap up our year-end coverage, I'm bringing you the results of one last poll, and it's a doozy: How many fights did you have with your significant other in 2007? When you spend a lot of time with someone, it's inevitable that you're going to fight from time to time, and I happen to think that fighting every once in a while can even make your relationship stronger.

Hilariously, the results on this poll were almost evenly split between two very different choices: "Well over 10 fights - we love the make up sex!" with 26 percent of votes, and "I wouldn't say we fight - we bicker" (24 percent). Twenty two percent said you had two to five fights in 2007. Hey, whatever works for you!

Year-End Poll Results: Sex Partners and One-Night Stands

DearSugar — Fri, 28 Dec 2007 11:00:56 -0800

As the year comes to a close, it's hard, if you're single, not to reflect on how many new sexual partners you had this year. If you're a little wilder, you might have even had a few one-night stands. So as part of my year-end coverage, I decided to pry a little bit and poll you about these topics.

It comes as no surprise to me that DearSugar readers lead healthy but responsible sex lives: 56 percent of you had one to five new partners in 2007, 38 percent had none, and very few people had more than 10 new partners.

As for one-night stands, the overwhelming majority of you (71 percent) didn't have any in 2007, while 20 percent of readers had one to four one-night stands. Are you guys surprised by the results?

The Results Are in: Top Dogs 2006

PetSugar — Tue, 08 Jan 2008 07:00:59 -0800

Remember taking tally of which pooches we thought would reign supreme when the final numbers came in from the American Kennel Club? Well, that time is now as here's the AKC ordered list of the top 10 most popular dog breeds in the country based on the number of those dogs registered in 2006. There's was some shaking up and I can't wait to learn about 2007! According to our votes on PetSugar, the list would be:

Labrador Retriever
Golden Retriever
Yorkshire Terrier
Dachshund
Shih Tzu
German Shepherd
Beagle
Boxer
Miniature Schnauzer
Poodle

We got the top dog right . . . but that's it! Check out the AKC's full list when you read more.

Labrador Retriever
Yorkshire Terrier
German Shepherd Dog
Golden Retriever
Beagle
Dachshund
Boxer
Poodle
Shih Tzu
Miniature Schnauzer

Although the biggest mover was the Yorkie, Labs held their top spot (as they have since 1991) and all the other breeds from last year still stuck it out in the top ten. As a special note to me (and North!), the AKC reports that "not since the Boston Terrier hit the top nearly 70 years ago has a small breed worked its way to such a high spot on the list.” There's always next year – I'm still hoping my lil' one can make a comeback, too!
