MALE SEXUAL HEALTH AND WELLBEING CAMPAIGN

THIS MONTH WE TAKE MALE WELLNESS TO THE NEXT LEVEL

Men do care about our health and well-being.

Taboos around sexuality, especially male, continue to exist. Whether originating from culture, context, or education, these taboos act as barriers that prevent men from exploring their full masculinity.

This month, we take the MYHIXEL revolution to the next level by launching a campaign to give voice to all those problems that have been silenced since we were little.

Being a man goes beyond traditional virility, masculinity is evolving: we ask men to leave behind everything they have learned to find their authentic selves!

MYHIXEL ANNUAL STUDY ON MALE SEXUAL WELLNESS

The barometer carried out on 1,500 men from all over Spain aims to collect information on the main issues that concern men. The topics on which information is collected range from mental health, sexual health, relationships, male grooming habits, etc.

SATISFACTION WITH THEIR SEX LIVES

Men who are married, or living with a partner, are by far the most satisfied with their sex lives. On the other hand, among single or divorced people, although the majority are satisfied, almost 3 out of 10 say they are not very, or not at all, satisfied with their sex lives

HAVE YOU EVER QUESTIONED YOUR GENDER OR SEXUAL ORIENTATION?

Although the vast majority (80.4%) of Spaniards have not questioned their sexual orientation, almost 2 out of 10 have at some point in their life.

WOULD YOU GIVE UP HAVING ORGASMS FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE IN EXCHANGE FOR € 1 MILLION?

Almost 4 out of 10 young people aged 16-24 would give up orgasms for the rest of their lives in exchange for 1 million euros.

EJACULATORY CONTROL AND THE SEXUAL INTERCOURSE DURATION, IS IMPORTANT TO ENJOY A FULL SEX LIFE

3 out of 4 men believe that ejaculatory control, sexual intercourse duration, is very or quite important for a fulfilling sex life.

ROUTINE CHECK UPS

Two out of every three men consulted do not go to the urologist for routine examinations, such as the examination of the prostate and / or testicles. Only 13% have these regular appointments, while 20% go from time to time.

FEELING UNSAFE WHEN SLEEPING WITH SOMEONE

Married people feel safer when sleeping with someone than single or separated people do. 58% of the former state that they have never, or hardly ever, felt unsafe in bed with another person, a percentage that drops to 47% in the case of single people.

FEELING COMFORTABLE TALKING ABOUT SEX WITH THOSE CLOSEST TO THEM

Talking about sex with those closest to them was, until recently, considered quite uncomfortable for men to do, but that has all changed. Almost half of all men feel comfortable talking about this topic with those around them. Compared to the 50% who say they feel comfortable, almost 2 out of 10 Spaniards are still uncomfortable talking about the issue of sex with those around them.

WHEN YOU HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT SEXUAL HEALTH, WHO DO YOU GO TO?

Internet seems to be the solution for everything these days, and, regarding questions about sex, it’s certainly no different. The internet is the most widely-used medium for sex questions, far higher than other methods. The speed of the response is, without a doubt, the main advantage when compared to a specialist, who is the second most popular option.

DIFFERENT SEXUAL PRACTICES

The use of sex toys is increasing around the world. 47% of men in Spain say that they have used them. Another widely extended practice is the exchange of sexual messages, also known as sexting, a practice that has been carried out by 38% of men. Sex games (dice, handcuffs, roleplay …) is the 3rd most practiced by men, and almost 36% claim to have played them. It should be noted that 27% of men in Spain have never taken part in any of the suggested sexual practices.
