Survey Shows Chocolates, Flowers And Cuddly Toys Are Out And Sexy Underwear, Weekend Breaks And Romantic Dinners Are In This Valentines Day

BRISBANE, Australia - February 11, 2004 /Send2Press Newswire/ -- An international survey conducted by Lustythreads.com (www.lustythreads.com), the Australian sexy bikini and underwear specialists, shows that most Valentines miss the mark. The traditional Valentines of chocolates and flowers, two of the most popular offerings last year were in fact some of the least desired. Forty-two percent of women received flowers in 2003 but only 8% ranked them on their 2004 wish list.

Valentines "ins" this year for women includes sexy underwear, romantic dinners and an amorous weekend away.

AMERICAN WOMEN 
  What they got What they want 
Dinner8%  15%  
Chocolates13%  3%  
Sexy Underwear14%  26%  
Weekend Break0%  18%  
Flowers42%  8%  
Cuddly Toy8%  3%  

"This is not to say that American men are not romantic," said Lustythreads Founder and Director, Victoria Brown. "Many marriage proposals occur on Valentines Day. Some of the more romantic gifts received by women included a flat full of roses and red balloons, a treasure hunt around New York with chocolates at every location and a surprise trip to the Bahamas complete with sprinkled flower petals and champagne."

"So what about the men's desires? Basically American guys want to forget those romantic dinners and just get away for the weekend in sexy underwear with their partners."

AMERICAN MEN 
  What they got What they want 
Dinner24%  21%  
Chocolates10%  5%  
Sexy Underwear14%  26%  
Weekend Break10%  33%  
Flowers6%  0%  
Cuddly Toy2%  0%  

With sexy underwear ranking so highly in the survey, the Lustythreads team drilled deeper. Of the people who had received underwear on Valentines Day, over 60% of men and over 80% of women had received items which were sexier than they would have chosen for themselves.

"A fascinating finding from our survey was that over 90% of female and 75% of male respondents stated that they felt sexier and more confident when wearing daring underwear," concluded Brown.

Attitudes to Valentines also differed between the genders. Ninety-seven percent of women thought that women get more attention on Valentines Day than men, but 70% felt that men and women should get equal attention.

Men (100%) also thought that women received more attention but think (72%) that Valentines Day was really a day for the girls. Only 23% of men think men and women should get equal attention.

The survey was conducted via email with over 650 respondents.
