01/29/2008: "Sexual selection decreases"

The report, from the National Board of Health and Welfare, shows that people have more sexual partners than they did twenty years ago and that twice as many people sleep together on a first date. Despite the fact that people know about the risks, they do not appear to be taking greater care to protect themselves.

Young women in particular were more likely than 20 years ago to have multiple sexual partners. In 1989 the 13 percent of women aged 18-19 had had three or more sexual partners in the past year. In 2007 this figure was 26 percent, although the reports authors stressed that the number of people who responded to the survey was lower in 2007, making the figures less certain.

[ The more sex you have, the more you distance yourself from a unitive, loving, respectful future relationship. These women will end up in their 30s and 40s, alone and aging, and bitter, when they could have had healthy family lives. The modern tragedy continues! ]
