Men get shy too
When a man says yes to an intimate activity, 18% of those yeses are the shy “Yes, but I’m shy about it” rather than an open “Love this!”. That is roughly one in five. The shy yes is not only a women’s answer.
A man's yes does not always mean “Love this!”
The shy yes, level by level
How many yeses come with a blush, from the gentlest activities to the most explicit, for men, with women alongside. Men climb from 16% to 24%; women stay a little higher at every level.
Where men are the shyest
The activities where a man's yes most often comes shy. For curiosity, women's share sits alongside - and here they blush a touch more. Shyness, it turns out, is neither only a male nor only a female thing.
Method
Both partners answer the quiz separately, never seeing each other’s choices. For every yes a man gives - “Yes, but I’m shy about it” or “Love this!” - we check which it was and count the shy share. Only levels and activities with enough yes answers from men are shown. Anonymized and aggregated; no response can be traced to a person or couple.
