El Sexómetro
How many Spanish men fake their orgasms? Are women over 45 less trusting in relationships than younger women between 18 and 24? For the TV show “El Sexómetro,” Spanish channel Cuatro took a close look at Spaniards’ sex lives. Accompanied by various celebrities, Cuatro presented the results of a nationwide survey separately for men and women in two entertaining prime-time broadcasts. In the first show, only women were allowed in the studio audience, in the second show only men. The show combines the results of a scientific survey with the entertaining elements of a prime-time show. The main characteristic of “El Sexómetro” is that everybody gets involved. Celebrities andaudience members comment on the survey results, and may even reveal a personal secret or two. And the study highlights more than differences between the sexes. The show reveals regional preferences, and also tells what younger and older respondents have to say about love. The concept can be implemented in the form of two consecutive event shows or as a recurring weekly show.
