Monogamy vs. monogamish? 7% of Americans are in monogamish relationships
Monogamy vs. monogamish? 7% of Americans are in monogamish relationships Summer is heating up, and love—or at least lust—is in the air. However, love is no longer the 'until death do us part' variety, according to a recent Hims survey. A majority of men (64%) and women (57%) in America say monogamy is outdated, unrealistic, or downright impossible. Others say they just want to keep their options open. When asked about their feelings towards monogamy, America tipped non-monogamous, with 39% of respondents saying monogamy is the only type of relationship they'd consider, and the other 61% saying otherwise. Specifically, 9% say it's aspirational but not realistic; 9% say it's old fashioned and outdated; 7% say they don't believe it's possible; and 6% saying it's possible for women but not men (hmm). Another 7% say they are keeping their options open, and 11% say it just depends—the more sexual options people have, the less monogamous they are likely to be (see Monogamy By the Numbers). 12% say the jury's out—they just aren't sure what they think about monogamy one way or the other. Q: Which describes your feelings toward monogamy? 39% It's the only type of relationship I'd consider 11% It depends on how many sexual options a person has—the more options people have, the less monogamous they are likely to be 9% It's aspirational but unrealistic 9% It's old-fashioned and outdated 7% I don't believe people can be monogamous 7% I just don't want to be in a monogamous relationship 6% It's possible for women but not for men 12% I'm not sure America is Open to Open Relationships Backing up the finding that monogamy is falling out of favor, or at least not as expected as it used to be, America was split on whether they preferred marriage or something other than tying the knot. 54% of respondents said old-fashioned courtship and marriage was their preferred path, with a close 46% saying they are looking for something else. Furthermore, 7% of respondents are currently in an open relationship, including 15% of Gen Z respondents (see below), about the same percentage of respondents who report not being married, but in a monogamous relationship (8%). Sexual experimentation also tied with sexual comfort as America's preferred way to express their romantic relationships (49% vs. 51%, respectively) and one-third of respondents (32%) value 'a little mystery' over a serious commitment, with women and men being about equally as likely to want some wiggle room in their relationship (29% of women want to keep things open vs. 34% of men). Gen Z is the least monogamous generation to date—but they're still looking for love, IRL As a generation that has consistently bucked the trends, it's not surprising that Gen Z is the least likely to say monogamy is their preferred relationship style. 68% of Gen Zs, including 65% of Gen Z women and 71% of Gen Z men, say they'd consider non-monogamous relationships. This compares to 64% of Millennials, 50% of Gen Xers, and 43% of Baby Boomers, showing a clear trend between monogamy and generation. Also, it is unsurprising that only 44% of Gen Zs are looking for old-fashioned romance compared to 54% of total respondents. Gen Zs are also 2X more likely to be in an open relationship than respondents overall (15% vs. 7%), and 5X more likely than their Gen X parents to be in an open relationship (15% vs. 3%). However, as noted in Gen Z is Finding Love the Old Fashioned Way, next-generation relationships don't necessarily mean virtual ones. 74% of Gen Zs and 77% of respondents prefer IRL relationships to digital courtship. In other words, Gen Zs don't want to digitize their romantic partnerships; they just want to diversify them. What else do Gen Zs want in a romantic partner? Ambition. Gen Zs were more likely than other generations to say they prefer ambition to romance, with 38% of Gen Zs picking a partner who is ambitious to one who is romantic, compared to 36.5% of Millennials, 32% of Gen Xers, and 27% of Baby Boomers who feel the same way. In bed, women call the shots as much as men In another departure from tradition, women report calling the shots in bed as much as their male partners. 50% of women and an equal 50% of men say, when it comes to who takes the lead in bed, 'it's a 50/50 split.' And what do women want from their partners? Experimentation. Women were nearly as likely as men to say they want sexual experimentation over sexual comfort (48% of women want experimentation vs. 50% of men). Gen Z women were more likely than their Gen Z male counterparts to want to experiment: 55% of Gen Z women want sexual experimentation over sexual comfort compared to 52% of Gen Z men. This study is based on a 7,100-person online survey, which included (1) 5,000 18-to-65-year-old respondents in the top 50 metropolitan areas (100 respondents per city); (2) 5,000 18-65-year-old respondents in each of the 50 states (100 respondents per state); and (3) a nationally representative sample of 500 18-to-65-year-old respondents to contextualize results. These three categories are not mutually exclusive; some respondents fall within multiple categories. The study was fielded in January 2025. Findings were analyzed by 190 demographic and psychographic cuts, including city, region, gender (when Hims refer to 'women' and 'men,' it includes all people who self-identify as such), age, race and ethnicity, relationship status, parenting status, sexual orientation (heterosexual, bisexual, gay, lesbian, pansexual, asexual, queer, etc.), fandoms (music, sports, etc.), and fitness and diet preferences, among other areas of interest. All data in this study are from this source, unless otherwise noted. Independent research firm, Culture Co-op, conducted and analyzed research and findings.

Is erectile dysfunction the key to unlocking the crisis in men's health?
Is erectile dysfunction the key to unlocking the crisis in men's health? A recent Washington Post article, 'A Silent Crisis in Men's Health Gets Worse,' highlighted the fact that men are at a greater risk of dying from most causes than women. Men's life expectancy is almost 6 years shorter—73.2 years vs 79.1. While there are a multitude of physiological and behavioral reasons that drive these differences, there's one obvious contributing factor, Hims reports. Most men do not attend to their health as well as women. CDC data from 2018 shows that the physician visit rate is 40% higher for women than for men. Unlike women, who are accustomed to pregnancy visits in their childbearing years and a lifetime of regular breast cancer screenings and gynecologic visits, many men do everything they can to avoid seeing the doctor. Many men don't want to 'appear weak' or 'complain' about physical or emotional problems. Some may be afraid of uncovering a medical vulnerability that upsets their sense of control or puts a chink in their proverbial armor. Pair that with the lack of symptoms associated with potentially serious illnesses like high blood pressure, heart disease, high cholesterol and diabetes, and it all adds up to a silent crisis affecting most men in the U.S. Erectile dysfunction: The great motivator There is one condition, however, that gets our attention and is likely to lead us to a healthcare provider: erectile dysfunction. Men with the courage to seek help tend to beeline straight for the first healthcare provider they can access when their penises aren't working right. And ED is common: The 2021 National Survey of Sexual Wellbeing survey found just under a quarter of men over 18 in the U.S. experience ED, with rates generally increasing with age. This phenomenon, the ability of ED to break through many of the barriers that have been preventing men from engaging with the healthcare system, presents a tremendous opportunity for urologists to help. Erections and body function Getting a strong erection is a complicated physiological process that requires precise coordination of many body systems. Dysfunction of any one of these body systems can cause ED. So, erections can go wrong in a lot of ways. But that also means that if a man has ED, it might be a warning sign that something undiagnosed is wrong with one of the body systems that is important for getting and maintaining strong erections. And that 'something' could be critical to a man's overall health. ED and other medical conditions Erectile dysfunction is not just a standalone condition. Men with ED are more likely to have chronic conditions like high blood pressure, high cholesterol, cardiovascular disease, diabetes and depression. That's because these conditions share pathophysiology with ED—the same things that go wrong inside the body that cause these diseases and conditions can also cause or worsen ED. In addition, claims data of close to a million men with documented ED found an association between ED and many other serious health problems. They include immune system, liver, lung, prostate, and myoneural (muscle-nerve) conditions. Treatment for erectile dysfunction and more The process for diagnosis can be pretty simple. A physician may start with detailed medical and sexual histories looking for symptoms or contributory factors (e.g., anxiety, smoking, low testosterone). A doctor may check for high blood pressure, which is a 'silent cause' of both cardiovascular disease and ED, as well as look for signs of problems with the penis or hormonal imbalances. And, if a patient hasn't had them checked recently, blood tests can screen for diabetes, high cholesterol, and hormone deficiencies. Treatment for ED is tailored to each patient. It generally involves medication to support erectile function, such as sildenafil (Viagra), tadalafil (Cialis), vardenafil (Levitra) or avanafil (Stendra). Other treatments, like testosterone replacement therapy or medication to reduce blood pressure or cholesterol, may be appropriate, based on clinical signs and blood test results. Sometimes physicians may refer patients to other healthcare providers like a sex therapist (if there is a psychological component to the sexual dysfunction), dietitian, primary care doctor (if they don't have one), or endocrinologist (if a patient has diabetes). The penis as a barometer: How it reveals overall health National polls are barometers of election results; the way you feel on a first date is a barometer of the way a relationship may develop; and the penis is absolutely a barometer of general health. So, take your penis seriously. If it is misbehaving, your body might be warning you of a serious but hidden medical problem. This story was produced by Hims and reviewed and distributed by Stacker.

US Home Prices Are Losing Steam With Most Big Markets Below Peak
(Bloomberg) -- The US housing market is close to stalling out, with prices in more than half the country's top 100 housing markets now below their peak, according to the latest data from Intercontinental Exchange. Advocates Fear US Agents Are Using 'Wellness Checks' on Children as a Prelude to Arrests The Dutch Intersection Is Coming to Save Your Life LA Homelessness Drops for Second Year The annual nationwide price increase slowed to 1.3% in June, the slowest pace in two years and down from 1.6% the previous month, ICE's indexes show. Out of the biggest 100 markets, 51 are now below-peak and almost one-third have fallen at least a percentage point from recent highs. The weakness was most pronounced in the condo market, where prices fell 1.4% year-on-year compared with a 1.6% rise for single-family homes. Overall, national prices rose just 0.03% from the previous month after seasonal adjustment, 'suggesting a propensity for further slowing,' ICE said. It described the market as 'at a critical inflection point.' Persistently high mortgage rates, which make monthly payments unaffordable for many Americans, continue to drag on housing demand. Even after a recent drop, the typical rate for a 30-year loan remains not far short of 7%. That's been countered by a boost in homes available for sale in some areas — particularly the South and West — but in many markets supply remains tight. Homeowners in parts of the US have already seen an erosion of wealth. Median prices have fallen more than $100,000 from their peak in the Austin-Round Rock-San Marcos metro area in Texas, as well as in San Francisco, according to ICE. Florida is home to nine of the 10 major markets that posted the biggest monthly drops in June. In two of them, North Port-Bradenton-Sarasota and Cape Coral-Fort Myers, prices peaked in June 2022 and are down by more than $50,000 since then.
