Since there appears to be a tendency in this forum to generalize whole nations based on stereotypes, I thought that this latest study highlighted in a recent BBC report was rather interesting. Apparently, the Brits (and particularly the women) are the most sexually promiscuous in the world. They are more tolerant of one-night stands and multiple partners. Kinda makes me wonder if those uptight types that constantly use religion as cover have something to hide :hmmm:
Brits on Top in Casual Sex League as Survey Reveals We Are the Most Promiscuous in the World
It is far from an achievement to be proud of - research suggests that British men and women are the most promiscuous in the Western world.
It appears the days when we took a strict moralistic approach towards sex are long gone.
They found that when it comes to one-night stands, numbers of partners and attitudes to casual sex, Britain leads the field, ahead of even liberal nations such as the Netherlands and the passionate Italians.
The researchers believe that our place at the top of the table could be linked to the way society has become more tolerant of sexual promiscuity among women as well as men. Women are now as accepting of one-night stands as men, they claimed. The research was led by David Schmitt, a professor of psychology at Bradley University, Illinois.
He said: 'Historically we have repressed women's short-term mating and there are all sorts of double standards out there where men's short-term mating was sort of acceptable but women's wasn't.'
The results are part of wider research carried out by Professor Schmitt, who releases this part of his study in this week's edition of New Scientist magazine.
The findings also confirm earlier research showing that the British are more likely than other nationalities to have 'stolen' other people's lovers.
A third of British men are in relationships with women they have taken from other long-term relationships, he found.
Among British women, 28 per cent have apparently poached their other halves rather than formed relationships with single men.
