In the first comprehensive global study of sexual behavior, British researchers found that people aren't losing their virginity at ever younger ages, married people have the most sex, and there is no firm link between promiscuity and sexually transmitted diseases.

The study was published Wednesday as part of a series on sexual and reproductive health by the British medical journal, The Lancet. Professor Kaye Wellings of the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicines and her colleagues analyzed data from 59 countries worldwide.

I think The Lancet editors must be having a contest to see who can generate the most wingnut hate mail.

Fucking AWESOME. You know, stuff like this just builds my position as an unrepentant Anglophile.

That's the second time I've used that word in 10 minutes. I've got it baaaad.

Thanks for reminding me that I wanted to upload that article for my students so we can discuss it in class next week. I'd said to myself "do this" and then I blanked.

If this is the same thing I read in the Metro today, the researcher also notes, "Americans are uptight."

In which we say, "yes."

I think I spent all of yesterday hollering "I'm not a Puritan, I'm Snape!"
