"From the BBC: "Almost half of women aged 25-34 do not have an enjoyable sex life, a survey by Public Health England suggests. About 7,000 women over the age of 16 responded to the first poll of its kind launched by the health body to guide future policy on reproductive health. Sexual satisfaction appeared to increase with age - less than a third of women aged 55-64 reported a lack of enjoyable sex in the past 12 months."

Including, but not exclusive to: - telling kids (of both sexes) that sex is 'dirty' and should only be between married people - telling kids (But women in particular) that virginity is a huge thing and they need to lose it to someone special - a culture that promotes myths about married people having rubbish sex lives - a sub-culture that encourages women to use sex as a control mechanism over their partner - Men who shame women for having 'too many' sexual partners because their ego needs them to be the best she's ever had - Women who 'slut shame' other women for whatever logic that I've never quite understood - generally a culture that hasn't updated itself with the freedom that birth control enables | |||

"I suppose the results would vary on how the question is phrased. Maybe the older women stopped having bad sex because they stopped having sex altogether, not because it got better... Or maybe they met me and it got better all of a sudden \DREAMMODE " That's quite likely, the stats for sexless marriages are scarily high | |||

"I blame modern pornography, In my day, we only had mags, and the rare blurry VHS, but the women were seen to enjoy the sex. I hate to think what a 16year old boy's expectations are if he's had years of porn where the women are used and abused, where oral sex leaves the woman in tears etc. " I don't think so personally. My two favourite porn stars (marica hase and Sasha rose) both routinely do sex that is too hard for my liking. I find myself begging Sasha to just do a semi-romantic vaginal-only scene. I have subscription to Passion Hd and sex art premium sights where i can watch porn that Jane Austen would approve of | |||

" Body confidence I'd like to think is possibly the biggest factor of all. If you are hung up about that, then surely it follows that they aren't going to be inhibition free to enjoy sex, vanilla or otherwise.... In clubs, larger ladies we seen are comfortable in their own skin and clearly have a great time. | |||

"After reading the article it seems that the dissatisfaction within the younger group seems to be fuelled by sti’s and a lack of understanding within the relationship . The older group didn’t fare much better , despite the kids having left home and more opportunities for enjoying it . The suggestion seems that older women just don’t have sex as often . The happiest women hadn’t had any STIs , understand and use contraception properly , and talk within the relationship ." | |||

"I have always enjoyed sex and been open minded. I have been quite lucky in meeting mostly great men. I have always been curvy and now am a size 20. Do I care no, I love sex, I love a male body. As I have got older I am even more confident. Other women have tried to fat shame me, I feel sorry for them. I am who and what I am and enjoy life. Ms" Has anyone ever tried to slut shame you? If so, were they male or female. Not saying you're a slut but the people who make that acquisition generally apply it to anyone who has had sex. | |||

" Do you any reason to think that the rates of break ups amongst co habiting couples are any different to the rates of divorce in the various countries I mentioned. As I said, divorce is by and large a function of affluence. People no longer need to stay in unsatisfactory relationships to survive. Hence people in rich countries tend to get divorced, people in poor countries don't. | |||

About 7,000 women over the age of 16 responded to the first poll of its kind launched by the health body to guide future policy on reproductive health. Sexual satisfaction appeared to increase with age - less than a third of women aged 55-64 reported a lack of enjoyable sex in the past 12 months." My experience of British culture/ British women is that they, on average, have a negative attitude towards sex. I think it's one of the biggest contributors to the sky high divorce rate in this country. Actually, for a developed country the British divorce rate is not that high. Out of the 28 current EU countries, Britain has the 14th highest rate. Outside the EU, Canada and the USA both have a higher rate. As does Russia. Low divorce rates are strongly correlated with poor countries. If we think more abstractly about 'failed very serious relationships' then it's extremely high. The divorce rate only really stopped climbing because less and less people got married. But cohabiting couples with children have even worse separation rates than married people. Do you any reason to think that the rates of break ups amongst co habiting couples are any different to the rates of divorce in the various countries I mentioned. As I said, divorce is by and large a function of affluence. People no longer need to stay in unsatisfactory relationships to survive. Hence people in rich countries tend to get divorced, people in poor countries don't. " I don't agree with that at all. In the grand scheme of things, the UK, Canada, US and Australia essentially have the same hyper-individualistic culture. I couldn't tell you off the top of my head why Russia has a high rate. I don't agree divorce is simply an economic consideration or even primarily one. | |||

I think the problem is that the average people's relationship skills are in freefall and what you call "draconian laws or strong social sanctions" are appeals to make people more introspective and understand how their own actions make a relationship satisfactory or unsatisfactory. | |||

"When I was a youngling, my parents never mentioned sex and school didn't teach anything until after I'd started. I put up with bad sex as I didn't know what to expect. I put a lot of effort in (still do) but when I didn't get it back, just thought it was my fault. Now, I won't put up with that nonsense. Less to do with body confidence, more about knowing what I want. Sex education in this country needs to cover basic biology yes but also teach what actually works and more importantly, the emotional impact of sex. We've now a generation of kids watching hardcore porn on their phones. Expectations and reality are very different things and young people need to be taught this" It ain't just the kids either! A lot of adults on this website have crazy expectations! | |||

"I have always enjoyed sex and been open minded. I have been quite lucky in meeting mostly great men. I have always been curvy and now am a size 20. Do I care no, I love sex, I love a male body. As I have got older I am even more confident. Other women have tried to fat shame me, I feel sorry for them. I am who and what I am and enjoy life. Ms Has anyone ever tried to slut shame you?

The fact that second marriage divorce rates are higher than first marriage ones, show that it's simply not the case that they are leaving for a better relationship." Well, assuming that they left to go directly into that relationship, they probably thought it was going to be better. Then, at some point, it wasn’t. The main difficulty here is that you seem to think that human brains operate by analysing the data points in a personal relationship, and making a quantifiable assessment as to whether that relationship meets some universally agreed scale of satisfaction. People leave relationships because they no longer find them satisfactory. You’re just going to have to accept that people are not going to ask you for an analysis that gives them permission to leave. | |||

"No, I'm saying what i said in the first post and expanded up after.

" So, you’re arguing the semantics of KLP saying that a relationship is unsatisfactory, when you believe it should be framed as, for whatever reason, be it a toxic environment or otherwise, the two people in it deeming it to be unsatisfactory. None of which makes any difference to the point KLP was making. If the two people in a relationship deem it to be unsatisfactory, and live in a society where people can generally afford to get divorced, they generally will, with some exceptions. Whether it’s some toxic external environment that’s influencing their ability to sustain a relationship or not. I’m yet to see any figures on the failure rate of significant, co-habiting, non-married relationships. Or the evidence that this is attributable to a toxic environment. Or the evidence that this toxic environment exists. | |||

"Go look for them then, they are easy enough to find." You know better than that. It’s not good form to make an argument and then demand others evidence it for you when they challenge it. If you make claims, it’s up to you to back them up. . "I know how much you like facts and evidence." An odd thing to say, given that you like them yourself. A little too much, it could be argued. | |||

For example, you don't really understand how culturally specific KLPs argument was, because you only have a vauge idea of what a culture is. Since threads expire soon after 170 replies then I'd simply run out of time trying to answer your endless questions and demands for evidence. Not that i believe you'd accept any evidence that contradict your existing world view. So sometimes you need to educate yourself first in the spirit of intellectual honesty. | |||

"From the BBC: "Almost half of women aged 25-34 do not have an enjoyable sex life, a survey by Public Health England suggests. About 7,000 women over the age of 16 responded to the first poll of its kind launched by the health body to guide future policy on reproductive health. Sexual satisfaction appeared to increase with age - less than a third of women aged 55-64 reported a lack of enjoyable sex in the past 12 months." My experience of British culture/ British women is that they, on average, have a negative attitude towards sex.

Generally 'you' are shitting yourself about getting pregnant or having bad periods, according to the report I don’t believe the answers then. Why not?" I’ve not read the report and am just thinking from the limited info you’ve referenced here. And I’ve not read the whole thread btw...but, for women of 25-34 where the majority have had sex at least within the last three months to cite the main reasons for unenjoyable sex to be because of bad periods or fear of accidental pregnancy - I would (gut feeling) suggest it seems a slightly odd reason for not having an enjoyable sex life overall...I mean there could be ad hoc scenarios that fit this, ie. “oh my last sexual encounter within the last three months the condom split and I had a scare, that wasn’t fun” or “it was awkward as I was due on and felt crampy blah blah, not fun” but to extrapolate this to *having* an unenjoyable sex life as opposed to latest sexual experience, seems bizarre. I mean, we’ve got a lot of protective measures now for pregnancy prevention so that’s strange - if it’s an issue of continually not using and thus in a perpetual state of fear then I’d posit there’s something else actually going on for the woman that is far more likely why she’d be giving an answer of her sex life being unenjoyable, perhaps difficulties in a relationship/communication/safety or perhaps ONS in less safe scenarios and failing to use protection etc and again maybe it’s the nature of disposable hookup that’s not enjoyable? I mean there’s so many possibilities, it just feels like an odd leap or not unpacking thoroughly through the survey. I could go on, it just doesn’t quite sit right with me. But as I say, I’m lacking the full info of the survey, and I’m responding with instinct. | |||

I've never understood why women continue having bad sex, just tell the man what to do, he will happily follow instructions " In an alternative universe maybe. | |||

"So, your answer is to be rudeness, baseless assumption, and deflection. Good work. As opposed to your challenges which are just endless filibuster that never offer any counter facts or evidence." You need to make up your mind whether I’m a fan of facts and evidence or not. I’m also unclear as to how briefly pointing out the continuous flaws in your arguments counts as ‘endless filibuster’. Your own posts in this thread are nothing more than verbose conjecture, driven by your own agenda, which largely consists of an apparently consistent inability to understand humans. | |||
