Women, with an average of five men slept. Men with ten women. This says more about the German gender understanding on our sexual behavior, say researchers.
Among all German men and women, every second person lives in a relationship, from which most of them are “rather satisfied”. A representative survey of 2524 participants on the topic of “sexual behavior in Germany”. The study, conducted psychologist at the Technical University of Braunschweig and the universities of Hildesheim, Germany, Jena, and Hannover. The participants were about 14 years old and responded to in the German medical journal published a study by means of a questionnaire.
40 percent of the respondents are in a relationship, in the study, to lead a monogamous partnership. Two percent have an open relationship. A percent have agreed common triplets, i.e. three,. The majority, namely 56 percent, have taken in their solid partnership, no agreement about possible liaisons with third parties. The respondents were an average of 48.5 years old.
Surveys are designed to give information about health
Surveys of this type are important in order to find out more about the medical care of the people, say the authors of the study. Because more than three-quarters of the people in a permanent relationship prevent never with condoms. But, 21 all the men are gone in a relationship once foreign. For women, there are 15 percent. Unprotected Sex was present in five percent of cases once, in eight percent of the cases several times. But only one in four was after the unprotected intercourse outside of the partnership, according to a medical examination.
An affair can mean for the Partner to health risks.
The authors warn that these people must be classified in terms of sexually transmitted diseases as risk persons. They are calling for more awareness and guidelines for more systematic vaccination against Human papilloma virus (HPV) that can cause cervical cancer. “Bearing in mind that more than 80 percent of 18 – to 40-Year-old in one other survey information, to be in contact with Doctors, never fully to their sexuality have been interviewed, the results underline the need for an accurate Exploration of risky behaviors,” the authors write.
Study is criticized
The Professor of sex research, Arne Dekker from the University hospital Hamburg-Eppendorf. He was not involved in the study and evaluated them as “small, meritorious addition, for the first time, representative information on the sexual life of the total population”. But to draw conclusions about the Connections of sexual behavior with medical questions they allow. For this, the data were not fragmented enough. More comprehensive surveys, there is, however, in other European countries, says Dekker to the DPA.
Results reflect Gender stereotypes
The women interviewed to have in your life, with an average of five men slept. The men, however, with an average of ten women. Where are the differences?
In reply, the respondents cheated probably something that my psychologists press it but sheep knowledge. “Self-serving distortions and gender-specific response” could have contributed to the different information.
Dekker from the University hospital Hamburg-Eppendorf has a similar statement: “you can set the stage roles of their gender”. Some men think it’s attractive, and society is recognised to have many sexual partners, in women, the opposite was often the case.
That men have twice as many partners in bed, like women, Partner is, however, quite “a huge difference,” admits Dekker. “You’d think it should somehow work.” One of the statistical factors could be that eight percent of the men surveyed already went to prostitutes.
Almost half of the women avoided hormone
In addition, the scientists write in their study that about every second woman is 50 years old or younger, was on the pill or similar oral contraceptives. Five percent waive for the prevention of, because they have a desire to have children.
