Brits may have a reputation for being buttoned-up, but they lead the world in bed-hopping, according to a new study.

A new international "promiscuity index" names Britain as the major industrialized nation that sleeps around the most, followed by Germany and the Netherlands. The US. ranks a more tame number six.

Researchers surveyed 14,000 people in 48 countries, asking them to number their sexual partners as well as list their one-night stands.

People were given rankings between 4 and 65 - the higher the score, the more liberal the respondent. Citizens of Finland actually scored highest, with an average of 51, but the country did not nab the title because it doesn't qualify as industrialized enough to be an offical part of the study. The UK's average score was 40.

Attitudes toward women's sexuality have changed, which helps account for a general uptick in promiscuous behavior around the globe, says psychology professor David Schmitt, who supervised the research at Bradley University in Illinois.

"Historically we have repressed women's short-term mating and there are all sorts of double standards out there where men's short-term mating was sort of acceptable but women's wasn't," he told British paper the Daily Mail. When women start to imitate men's sexual habits, promiscuity goes up.

Schmitt published part of the ongoing study in the New Scientist last week. He found that men are more unfaithful in their late 20s, while women's eyes tend to wander after age 30.

Women's behavior, he explains, is designed to maximize their last good years of fertility, since after their early 30s women's chances of becoming pregnant decreases and the chances of birth defects rise.

Similarly, women are more likely to consider one-night stands during their most fertile time of the month - right before ovulation.

What else can we take away from Schmitt's study? Avoid British men for starters - the study finds that a whopping one-third of men from the UK stole their current lovers from another mate, compared with only 17% of American men, according to the London Times online.

Maybe Englishmen aren't so polite after all.

I wonder why Sauron.Pataki and 4play are living in that sodom and Gomorrah

who else do you think they were referring to in the article?

The Nigerians living there obviously Cant get free sex in Naija so they run to Europe

no wonder they love the place.
at least we now know one thing that's cheap in that place

GARBAGE! UTTER AND ABSOLUTE RUBBISH!

what sort of people carry out these research(es)? these people wake up one morning and decide to be jobless.

Oh, the research was carried out in america and supervised by an american professor. well, that says it all.

Promiscuity dey Britain no be small.
If you leave London and Birmingham and mix more with oyibo, you go sabi say these britico people dey sexually horrible. Married dey yansh colleagues for work. Thats why young men love work nights out on Britain. If you play your game right, you'll definitely end up with some colleague for the night.

I think it obtains in white America as well. . . I have experienced it twice in America

The reports werent done according to race but the people living there

gbam! black america nko?

Lies , damned lies !!
The British that I know lie about sex all the time and having spent more than 15 years  in UK i think they are the most sexless people on earth.  To the average British , watching a porn movie , talking about sex , reading a porn magazine (while doing you-know-what) or getting drunk can be equal to having sex  and in fact they'd rather getting pissing drunk rather than engage in copulation.  Same sex relationships are more common though and  if you call that having sex (rather than degenerate behaviour) the  they are then quite promiscuous.

Whats the big deal!!!

This is very true. There is a caveat though, I am not sure that Northern Ireland and Wales were part of the survey because these countries are far behind England and Scotland (and if they had really been part of an extensive survey, the Germans would deffo be ahead of us). Moreover, anyone who plays regularly on the Continent (European) would agree that like the report said, Finland is way ahead. . . AND so is SWEDEN (or does it not count as an advance nation? ). Next to the Swedes, the Brits are prudish. LOL.
