We talk to a spokesperson from Siteopia who commissioned a study on men’s internet habits. It was found that men regularly view adult material when they are online.

Relationships on Female First

Why are men more prone to looking at unsuitable online content than women?

Blame it on the lad culture. Men are much more comfortable looking at inappropriate content and are less ashamed to admit it – not that all ladies are conservative, mind you…

Why does the average bloke delete his browsing history as many as five times in a six month period?

If as many are looking at inappropriate content as the statistics show, perhaps because they’re ashamed. That being said, many men might just like being tidy and keeping their browsing and search history in check.

Why are men less likely to talk about their health problems than women and so go searching on the internet instead?

Women have always been the more likely to talk to each other about health issues, or simply up and go to see a doctor if something is wrong. Sadly, the male of the species are much less likely to share health issues with each other, and are frankly terrible at seeking professional help. Doctor Google is appointment-free, right there in front of you, with potentially good advice – it’s hard to say no.

Why is there much more trust placed in the internet now for men?

Passwords and better internet security, for one. Since the survey found only a fifth of men have been caught out by their partner for looking at something inappropriate, you’d have to think the other 80% are doing something right.

How can the strength of a relationship be attributed to the percentage of how often men look at unsuitable content?

The survey shows a rather definite trend towards inappropriate content decreasing as the relationship gets more secure, which is encouraging. Although this could be down to age or simply a lack of opportunity to get online alone, we hope that couples are fulfilling each other’s needs – and avoiding the need for a bit of inappropriate online activity.

Why would men be mortified if their partners found out what they were looking at?

A man’s search history is a terrifying insight into what we think about every day – and if you could see what goes on inside any man’s brain, they’d be mortified.

What advantages and disadvantages can be involved in men keeping tabs on their partner?

One of the biggest things is shopping habits – if you don’t fancy outright spying on your other half, keeping an eye on what clothes they want but ‘can’t afford’ or jewellery they like opens the door to a very nice surprise gift that’s always going to be spot-on.

Why are still keen to try and understand women with the aid of the internet?

Men ask their friends down the pub, their dad, and sometimes any guy that will listen how to react in a relationship. The internet is just a giant book of people’s experiences – the good and the bad – that make a great resource for a man who needs some quick, quiet advice when trying to understand the fairer sex.
