CYBERSPACE—Award-winning live cam site LiveJasmin has partnered with the Kinsey Institute to conduct a series of studies exploring the effects of virtual dating through live cam services on sexual health and mental well-being. The first study in the series, which surveyed over 5,000 LiveJasmin users, has been released by the Kinsey Institute and unveils insights into how virtual dating can foster sexual knowledge, communication, and confidence.
Among the more than 5,000 users who participated in the survey, over 80 percent have been using LiveJasmin for longer than two years. Over 60 percent of respondents reported learning something new about their own sexuality or the opposite gender's sexuality through virtual dating on the platform, while 30 percent acknowledged becoming better sexual partners as a result of their interactions on the site. Nearly all participants emphasized the importance of establishing a personal connection with good chemistry to enhance intimacy and reported increased levels of self-confidence in their sex lives.
The study was led by Dr. Amanda N. Gesselman, associate director for research at the Kinsey Institute. “Live cam sites like LiveJasmin offer a unique environment where openness and vulnerability are the norm, which contrasts starkly with the expectations people face in their daily lives, particularly men," she commented. "Our results reveal significant growth and learning in sexual knowledge, including how to be a better sexual partner to women and how to navigate sexual consent.”
Added LiveJasmin co-founder and director Károly Papp, “This study highlights the crucial role of open communication in sexual relationships and how being able to discuss anything with your partner leads to greater self-confidence. LiveJasmin's primary focus has always been the 'human connection' aspect of live camming, which is why our users prefer our service over adult videos. The ability to connect and talk to a model provides a more meaningful and satisfying experience for viewers.”
