Nuke Sex Survey: Fans Loved It, Wanted To Be Surprised

I surveyed Noah and Luke fans about Monday's first-time sex scene between the couple on AS THE WORLD TURNS. Fans overwhelmingly were satisfied to some degree with the outcome. As you can see in the chart below, 59% of the 147 fans surveyed were "Very satisfied" while another 33% were "Somewhat satisfied" (mostly wanting even longer scenes and showing "Nuke" in a bed). Less that 5% said they were dissatisfied with the long-awaited sex scenes.


Fans were also very pleased to have been surprised. In a survey of 151 fans, a whooping 91% said they believe that AS THE WORLD turns did the right things by not publicizing the sex scenes in advance. There was also a lot of doubt about whether a magazine, specifically Soap Opera Digest, would have given Nuke a cover, especially since the couple has never appeared on the Digest cover once in two years even when making international headlines.

But we all learn from our mistakes, so if Nuke sex was cover-worthy last week then it certainly is this week with the sex clip already surpassing 300,000 views on various websites. If the story can make the front page of the Huffington Post, surely it can make the front page of the soap magazines.
