Go Figure: Summer Lovin'

Oprah.com   |   From the July 2007 issue of O, The Oprah Magazine

Real fireworks explode on the Fourth of July, but the romantic kind sizzle all season long.


What makes the sparks fly for O readers? An Oprah.com poll found out.
  • 59 percent Get lustier when the temperature rises.
  • 63 percent Have better sex while on vacation.
  • 74 percent Think tans are a turn-on (yet 55 percent stay so far from the sun, they could be confused with Dracula).
  • 24 percent Say it's important to have a lifeguard at the pool—for eye candy.
  • 34 percent Have had sex on the beach (45 percent would rather not "get sand in places it doesn't belong").
  • 72 percent Believe a Speedo on a man should be illegal.
  • 66 percent Think nude beaches are harrowing (why is it that the bodies we don't want to see naked are always the ones parading around?).
  • 54 percent Pick Dirty Dancing as their favorite summer romance flick.
