Although we find it difficult to agree on political issues, in sexual matters, we Spaniards have succeeded.

At least that reveals the 8th Barometer 'Young Spaniards and Sex' prepared by CONTROL, a brand specialized in well-being and sexual fun, which has decided to investigate the preferences of Spaniards, not in political matters but in the sexual field.

COVENANT AT A GLANCE

According to the data collected, we Spaniards do not need so many attempts to agree on when it is the best date to have sex. Thus, 57.4% affirm that they practice sex in the first appointments , being mostly between the second and third, which makes it easier to agree on the bed than at the polls.

In addition, the Spanish prefer long-term coalitions and find allies frequently . 74.9% have a stable sexual partner , which makes them able to enjoy agreements where, the people who intervene, always benefit. So, not only are we from pacts but they seem to be lasting.

ABSOLUTE MAJORITIES

The majority of Spaniards, eight out of 10 (75.4%), want to practice sex more frequently , something that shows a clear intention to interconnect with their sexual partners more often.

There is also consensus regarding the position, since there are two that stand as clear winners: the classic missionary, the most conservative, would also be the most practiced (64.9%), followed closely by the puppy, something more daring but usual in the bedrooms of our country, being the practice that makes more than half enjoy (51.8%).

Contraception reveals another majority that surprises us little. The Spaniards choose the male condom as a contraceptive method of preference in their relationships (59.3%), although one in four admits that they only use it occasionally. Also, with similar percentages, there are quite a few who are clear that they use it as protection against an unwanted pregnancy (47.7%), and as protection against the transmission of a sexually transmitted infection (43.9%).

DISTRIBUTION OF ARMCHAIRS

It seems that the Spaniards have no doubts in the distribution of armchairs when it comes to establishing who are the best in sex. The Andalusians , for the fifth consecutive year, stand up with the presidency being chosen the best in bed for 18%. And, being part of a shared vice-presidency, the Canaries are located, which for 9.6% are the winners, in a technical tie with the Catalans, considered by 9.2% as the best.

BETTER KNOWN BAD KNOWN

Well it seems that there is no Spanish saying that fits more to the personality of our country in sexual matters. And, in spite of our Latin character, associated perhaps with the fierceness or creativity, the truth is that we innovate little, we remain classic and resort to the usual.

Thus, more than half maintain relationships with people they previously knew, using the more traditional options to meet people or flirt , such as the bar or the disco (23.3%). While it is true that, the revolution of new technologies is going down when it comes to finding someone to have sex, being social networks (6.3%) and Apps to link (15%), the strategies that could win in future voting, overthrowing the most common, perhaps in just four years.

And now, if we have managed to agree on something as complex as sexuality, will we get it done in politics?
