If You're HORNY Than Move To The UK,' Bc They Come In As #1

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.

Researchers blamed the situation on a decline of religious
scruples, the growth of equal rights for women and a highly sexualised
popular culture.

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.'

More than 14,000 people in 48 countries were asked to fill in
questionnaires where they were quizzed about numbers of partners and
one-night stands. Their attitudes were assessed by asking them how many
people they expected to sleep with over the next five years and how
comfortable they were with the idea of casual sex.

The results of the study were combined with an index of
'sociosexuality' - a measure of how liberal people are when it comes to
sex.
