The British company "London International Group plc" conducted the next annual "Global Sexual Research" Durex "for 1997. Polls were conducted in 14 countries: Australia, Great Britain, Germany, Hong Kong, Italy, Spain, Canada, Mexico, Poland, Russia, USA, Thailand, France and South Africa (about 10 thousand sexually active adults took part).
Here are some results of this work:
The loss of innocence from year to year occurs at an ever younger age. In general, the average age at onset of sexual activity decreased from 17.6 years in 1996 to 17.4 years in 1997. Americans become sexually active sooner than any other nation - the average age at which sexual activity began only in one year decreased from 16.2 to 15.8 years.
And in Poland, Mexico and Hong Kong, the first sexual experience is acquired from 18.3 to 19 years.
Americans firmly occupy the pedestal of the most active sexual people - the average number of sexual partners they have is 14.3 - almost five units higher than the overall average level!
The second place is occupied by the French, having an average of 13.2 partners, and only slightly ahead of the Australians, whose level is 13.1.
It seems that the eternal myth of the temperament of the southerners is refuted: the Spaniards (7 partners) and the Mexicans (5.1), along with the Poles (6), took their place among the nations most venerated by constancy. The standard of loyalty is the inhabitants of Hong Kong, with an average of 3.2 sexual partners.
It turns out that these days people are willing to sacrifice their own sexual pleasure for the sake of satisfying their partner. The growth of this indicator in 1997 compared to 1996 from 34 percent to 39 indicates that the number of caring and warning lovers is increasing.
Most of all doctors are concerned about the decrease in fear of contracting (being infected) with AIDS (from 18 percent in 1996 to 16 percent in 1997). The indicator of fear of an unwanted pregnancy decreased from 16 percent in 1996 to 10 in 1997. Thus, there is very little awareness of what sexually transmitted diseases are and how they are transmitted.
