Women's Health editor, Kate Wilson, comments in her editor's letter, "Women's Health readers are not one of the coy sectors of the reading public; they see sex for what it is - a healthy part of life." Both audiences were extremely forthcoming with their intimate details.

Men's Health editor, Jason Brown, continues, "Once again the Sex Issues expose some surprising and risqué secrets of South African's sex lives. More than 1400 people shared their most intimate sexual experiences and attitudes to sex and, together with our experts, we were able to analyse the trends to provide readers with the most authoritative advice and insights."
