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.

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.

By qwertyness• 30 Nov 2008 13:43

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!

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.

Go Canada :) this is what happens when it's cold and boring.......

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.

but I'm not surprised so many of the top 10 are former brit colonies.....considering where the brits ended up :)

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???

"Talk things up" .. Is that what they call "oral ###?"

By Withnail• 30 Nov 2008 11:19
Withnail

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.
