One in Five Music Festivalgoers Report Having Sexual Encounters, New Study Finds
"As part of their very sexy effort, ZipHealth surveyed 1,003 Brits and Americans who have attended a music festival in the last five years, with 79% from the US and 21% hailing from the UK. Each participant was asked not only about past sexual experiences and general preferences, but also about concerns around their personal sexual health and interpersonal relationships. ZipHealth described the results as "raw, revealing, and, at times, a little grimy.""
"One in five (actually 19%) of attendees have had a sexual encounter during a fest. And who are those people hooking up with? For the most part, it's someone they already knew, whether it was a significant other (53%), a friend or someone they came to the festival with (16%), or even an ex (16%). That leaves a not insignificant 38% who did it with a stranger."
ZipHealth surveyed 1,003 festival attendees from the US (79%) and UK (21%) who had attended in the past five years. Nineteen percent reported a sexual encounter during a festival. Among those hookups, 53% involved a significant other, 16% involved a friend or festival companion, 16% involved an ex, and 38% involved a stranger. Forty-eight percent of attendees were open to a weekend festival fling, with 59% of men and 36% of women willing. Burning Man had the highest reported hookup rate at 47%, followed by Download (42%) and Coachella (34%). UK attendees reported higher hookup rates (25%) than US attendees (18%).
