Results of UK sex survey published

Conclusion The findings of the report make for some mixed reading; suggesting multiple, and often contrasting, trends are at work. One on hand we are having sex with more people than previous generations, but on the other hand we actually spend less time having sex. Similarly, some of our attitudes, such as acceptance of same-sex partnerships have become more liberal, while other attitudes, such as acceptance of having sex outside a relationship, have hardened. Perhaps the biggest concern is the statistics provided about non-volitional sex. The fact that one in 10 women had sex against their will at some point in their life, is simply unacceptable in a civilized society. And the fact that many feel unable to tell others about their experience is a challenge for politicians and policy-makers; how to create services that victims of non-volitional sex feel that they can turn to for support.
