Even if you did move to Europe, chances are you may not find out just how many people have open relationships. I seriously doubt it's the kind of thing that people are that up front about in everyday life, in Europe or the States for that matter. In a study, the folks are anonymous and therefore more likely to give an honest answer (at least that's the thinking behind it).
If I were in an open relationship would I tell everyone at work? Probably not, because I'd be gossip fodder for the rest of my career. No offense, Sands.
