UK rides high in new index of casual S##
Firstly, do we really need surveys of this type?
Secondly, do they serve any real purpose ??
Thirdly, what does it say about us as a nation???

British men and women are among the world's most promiscuous, an international survey of sexual behaviour and attitudes has found.
In an index measuring one-night stands, numbers of partners and attitudes to sex, Britain comes out ahead of other industrialised nations such as Australia, the US, France, the Netherlands, Italy and Germany. Some 14,000 people in 48 countries filled in questionnaires about casual sex and how many people they expected to sleep with in the next five years.
The results were turned into an index of 'sociosexuality' - a measure of how sexually liberal people are in thought and behaviour.
Most individuals scored between 4 and 65. Finland came highest, with an average of 51. Britain's average score was 40, placing it 11th - a result linked to the decline of religious scruples, the growth of equal rights for women and a highly sexualised popular culture.
'Historically we have repressed women's short-term mating and there were all sorts of double standards out there where men's short-term mating was sort of acceptable but women's wasn't,' said Professor David Schmitt of Bradley University in Illinois, who oversaw the research.

britexpat said ncmedia.. ...
Are you saying that Oz should be higher up the ladder
Most definitely man , come down under and see for your self
??Without imagination their is nothing!
Just go and watch Sex and the city.. You would know what promiscuity actually means... Those four women in that tv series are nothing short of big time s----ts.
I want to know this : where is India, Sri Lanka, Pakistan,African countries on this list? They do not cheat? This is very funny!
What comes around, goes around....
Qwertyness, u say go Canada...imagine that if it's top 10 in the "major countries" top, it can be as far as 100 in the real world top...LOL...
I see how everybody is ignoring my posts, I'm the invisible stress today!!!! :D
If you could choose one characteristic that would get you through life, choose a sense of humour.
Well if you look at those ages Brit, those are the ages that men and women are at their most fertile. It would only make sense that they would be more promiscuous at those ages.
I dunno if it's more women becoming more promiscuous or it's just more reported becuase it's becoming more socially acceptable for women to be as promiscuious as men.
also that's a great show btw- i WISH I could find a way to watch it while I live here!
THIS NOT THE TOP 10!!! U people are so full of it, Oh My Goodness...as if it were a good thing anyway, but u just like to see yourselves no. 1

Schmitt said that in more liberal countries such as Britain women may even be becoming more promiscuous than men. Such trends are typified by the television series Secret Diary of a Call Girl, in which Billie Piper played a middle-class prostitute who relished her numerous sexual encounters.
One of the most intriguing ideas emerging from Schmitt’s and others’ work is that when women are at their most fertile they become even more willing than men to consider one-night stands.
There are, however, still key differences in the behaviour of men and women, especially regarding the ages at which they are most sexually liberated. Schmitt found that men tended to have the most partners, and to think most about acquiring new ones, when in their twenties. Women’s promiscuity and lustful thoughts tended to peak in their thirties.
Be proud, but please , please, please, don't let the missus know about your past exploits..

i've seen these stats broken down before, and it's the frozen wastelands of provinces (cough cough manitoba and new brunswick, i'm looking at you) that have the most lovin' going on.

In the beggining u said Finland came first, after that UK, who u said was 11th, jumped to no 1, that means all the other 10 in front of it were "minor" countries???

Britexpat, who decides which are the "major countries" like u said...

"Talk things up" .. Is that what they call "oral ###?"
this was a survey, so either the brits are the most promiscuous, or they like to embellish more than most.
a lot of brits i've met over the years sure liked to talk things up.

Doesn't surprise me at all Brit. We women are taught fear of our sexuality from a young age.
I'm a bit embarrassed by the stats!! :o)
lool

Turkish men are hoooooooootttttttttt!! :))
The internet is our revenge machine
I am surprised to see Turkey is at number 8.. It is a Muslim country and has a majority of Muslims. How can this be true?
Well I'll prepare you a list of do's and don'ts shall I although the list is pretty one sided....;P
