Survey Methodology
The SKYN Sex & Intimacy Survey was conducted by Wakefield Research (www.wakefieldresearch.com) among 2,000 nationally representative males and females in the U.S. ages 18-39, between January 3rd and January 14th, 2020, using an email invitation and an online survey. Quotas have been set to ensure reliable and accurate representation of the U.S. adult population, ages 18-39. Results of any sample are subject to sampling variation. The magnitude of the variation is measurable and is affected by the number of interviews and the level of the percentages expressing the results. For the interviews conducted in this particular study, the chances are 95 in 100 that a survey result does not vary, plus or minus, by more than 2.2 percentage points from the result that would be obtained if interviews had been conducted with all persons in the universe represented by the sample.
