LONDON
- 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.
Experts
say the study will be useful not only in dispelling popular myths about
sexual behavior, but in shaping policies that will help improve sexual
health across the world.
