National Survey Reveals 5,000 Singles Hide 'True' Sexual Selves Behind Masks
DALLAS, Oct. 5 /PRNewswire/ -- For some singles, a Halloween mask may
reveal more than it hides.
In fact, according to a recent national survey conducted by TRUE, the
leading scientifically based online relationship service, those identified as
Traditionalists by TRUE's SEXPLORATION(TM) test are anything but traditional
when it comes to their Halloween costumes; an amazing 86 percent of
Traditionalists want to either dress up in sexy costumes themselves or have
their partners do so.
Of the 5,000 respondents surveyed, more than 62 percent thought Halloween
was a GREAT date night (or chance to meet someone romantically) and over 45
percent planned to dress up for the occasion. Watch out New York, Los
Angeles, Dallas and Chicago, as the survey found singles in these cities are
ready to trick, treat ... and get sexy.
What's even more interesting, perhaps, is that TRUE's SEXPLORATION test-
takers who were found to be Traditionalists were those most likely to play
dress up on All Hallows' eve, followed by the Intellectuals and THEN the
Mavericks.
"It is no surprise that the Traditionalists show the most enthusiasm for
dressing up," said TRUE's CEO and Founder, Herb Vest, "The Traditionalist by
definition is conservative and most comfortable discussing and engaging in
predominantly conventional sexual activities. Dressing up gives these
individuals a chance to be wild and out of character."
French Maid rules Over The Donald and Paris
Believe it or not, but 20 percent of the respondents thought themselves to
be 'their sexiest' in a nun's or clergy's costume. More than 29 percent
believed themselves to be their 'hottest' when they were dressed up as a
witch, a nurse, or simply, Bond: James Bond. When asked what type of costume
a respondent would find most sexually appealing for their partner, the French
maid and Pimp uniforms overwhelming won the category with 52 percent. Only
five percent of the respondents thought Donald Trump or Paris Hilton would be
a sexually stimulating Halloween date costume.
Behind The Mask - Making Sense of It
"Your Halloween mask does not really hide you -- it may well show the true
you," said Vest, "Price, comfort and convenience are factors, but people live
a fantasy when they choose a costume, and their choices reveal interesting
parts of their inner selves."
The popularity of costumes with a strong sexual overtone is not surprising
among psychology experts. Costume choices are not entirely random, even if we
think so. For millions of singles, Halloween could be the one night a year to
live that desired fantasy through costumes that may well represent a person's
repressed sexuality. But according to TRUE's expert team of clinical and
research psychologists, these are all healthy expressions. Through its
extensive research and studies, TRUE has identified that sexuality is an
extremely important element of one's identity, and the ability for one to find
compatible and long-lasting relationships should begin with the capacity to
learn and explore more about our own tendencies and attitudes.
Halloween is a time when people of all ages can celebrate -- especially
today's American single. They go to parties, meet new people, dress up and
become a different persona for the evening, and experience new adventures.
There will be no staying home to hand out candy to trick-or-treaters this
holiday season for today's singles. This year, Halloween is about stepping
out and showing off your true sexuality!
