Video On-Demand streaming services such as iQiyi have become a staple of modern love. Today, you’ll be hard pressed to find any couple not spending quality time streaming their favourite films and TV series together.
iQiyi commissioned a survey across four markets — Singapore, Malaysia, Taiwan and Thailand — seeking to track how streaming behaviours and habits corresponded to different stages of a relationship.
The survey revealed several interesting statistics. For instance, around 58% of local respondents shared that they had experienced expectations from their partners to match up to ideal characters or behaviours from certain shows, with more female respondents being a majority of the ones to encounter such expectations.
We speak to Dr. Angela Tan, Intimacy Coach and Co-Founder at the Academy of Relationship and Sex who shares her thoughts on the results, and explains how streaming accounts help to advance, and influence, relationships today.
