Diversity of sexual activity and number of partners has increased in France according to the new "Study of Sexuality in France".What would be more French after Kiss?..Yeah...Its SEX. More SEX for French women.
Nearly 40 years after France's May 1968 revolution spawned the slogan "pleasure without obstruction," a new study finds that the French of both genders are engaging in more varied and frequent sex than ever before — and both earlier and later into life. Yet perhaps the most significant finding in the report is that French women have been playing serious sexual catch-up with their male counterparts since the last national sex survey in 1992.
French Women have closed the gap with men in terms of number of lovers, age of initiation, and variety of acts engaged in. In some measures, women have overtaken men for the first time. Only 3.5% of women aged 18-35 years now say they are sexually abstinent, for example, versus 6.2% for males of the same age. French women are engaging in sex from a younger age and more frequently than before, while 20% of French men aged 18-24 years say they have no interest in sexual or romantic activity whatever.
The study suggests the changes are largely due to increased accessibility to sexual content and the greater ease with which like-minded partners can find one another.
The report finds that a staggering two out of every three kids in France has seen a porno film by the age of 11; 10% of women and 13% of men, meanwhile, said they'd use web sites to link up with prospective partners. At younger ages, the percentage of women using the net to arrange dates surpasses that of males.
But that does not mean that French people are happier than the rest of the world. 36% of French women say they have suffered sexual dysfunction in the past year of their lives, while 21% French men declared the same. That may explain why an estimated 500,000 patients in France visit sex counselors.
