經(jīng)濟(jì)衰退導(dǎo)致英國(guó)人性生活減少

 

Britain is losing its libido. That is the striking conclusion of an Observer survey – published in the new Sex Uncovered supplement – which reveals that the average British adult has sex only four times a month, less than once a week. Our previous survey, in 2008, recorded a figure of seven times a month.
《觀察家報(bào)》調(diào)查得出一個(gè)驚人結(jié)論,該發(fā)現(xiàn)發(fā)表在《性愛(ài)》刊物中:英國(guó)人性欲正走下坡路。數(shù)據(jù)顯示英國(guó)成人平均每月做愛(ài)四次。但據(jù)2008年調(diào)查顯示數(shù)據(jù)為七次。

For good measure, our investigation of what goes on in Britain's bedrooms indicates that a third of the nation does not have sex at all in a typical month, a rise in abstinence of eight percentage points since 2008. Only 1% say they have sex more than 30 times a month, an average of at least once a day.

 
研究發(fā)現(xiàn)在一個(gè)特定月份中,三分之一的伴侶不會(huì)進(jìn)行性行為。自2008年以來(lái)英國(guó)人禁欲比例上升八個(gè)百分點(diǎn)。只有1%的人稱他們每月做愛(ài)30次以上,也就是平均每天至少一次。

After six years of recession, and four years of a Tory-led coalition, it would seem that when it comes to sex we have never had it so infrequently.
經(jīng)歷了六年經(jīng)濟(jì)衰退,四年保守黨聯(lián)合政府統(tǒng)治,英國(guó)人性生活次數(shù)從沒(méi)這么少過(guò)。

It is also clear that men suffered the greater blow to their sexual self-esteem as the recession took its grip. In 2008, more than half of the sexually active men who took part in our survey rated themselves as above average in terms of their prowess as lovers. This year, that figure had shrunk to a less than a third.
顯而易見(jiàn),經(jīng)濟(jì)持續(xù)衰退導(dǎo)致男性在性尊嚴(yán)上遭受更大打擊。2008年,參加調(diào)查的半數(shù)性活躍男性認(rèn)為自己性能力高于平均水平。但今年,該數(shù)據(jù)降至三分之一。

And there is further bad news for men. Fewer are happy with the size of their penis. An admittedly sizeable proportion – 79% – are still content with their organ's dimensions, against 86% six years ago. Intriguingly, 90% of those from higher social grades report satisfaction with their size, while Scottish men (88%) are also more likely to be happy with their penis.
對(duì)于男人而言還有更糟糕的事。越來(lái)越多男性不滿意自己的性器官尺寸。六年前對(duì)自己性器官滿意的比例是86%,然而今年降至79%。有趣的是,高層社會(huì)人士中90%對(duì)自己尺寸表示滿意,而88%的蘇格蘭男性表示滿意。

As to the question of what people are doing instead of having sex, the survey shows that 53% of women (compared with 36% of men) read erotica, in particular novels such as Fifty Shades of Grey. By contrast, 76% of men (compared with 36% of women) watch pornography online. Other intriguing findings in the survey include the revelation that almost one in five Britons (19%) lost their virginity when they were under 16, the legal age of consent. However, the average age at which a person loses their virginity is 18, the survey found, while for those living in London and the south-east that age rises to 19. As to sex education, 19% said they believed children were given too much information at school, while 43% said too little was given. The remaining 40% said they thought pupils got just about the right amount of information.
不做愛(ài),那么人們做什么呢?調(diào)查顯示,53%的女性(36%男性)閱讀色情書籍,尤其是諸如《50道陰影》。相比之下,76%的男性(36%女性)觀看在線色情視頻。調(diào)查中有趣發(fā)現(xiàn)還有,幾乎五分之一的英國(guó)人(19%)還沒(méi)16歲就給出了自己的“第一次”,早于法定年齡。然而,英國(guó)初夜平均年齡是18,調(diào)查發(fā)現(xiàn)生活在倫敦和東南部地區(qū)的人們,失貞年齡上升到19。對(duì)于性教育的看法,19%的英國(guó)人認(rèn)為孩子們?cè)趯W(xué)校里獲得的性教育過(guò)多,43%表示太少,剩下的40%認(rèn)為孩子獲得的性教育適中。

In addition, 63% of those in the survey said they were satisfied with their sex lives, a decrease from 2008, when 76% said they were happy. It was also found that one in seven (14%) have had casual sex with someone they met on the internet, a behaviour that is most common among those aged between 25 and 34 (28%) and living in London (20%). The survey also found that, on average, people have had 10 sexual partners, a slight increase from 2008.
此外,調(diào)查中63%的英國(guó)人表示滿意他們的性生活,而相較2008年的76%,這一數(shù)據(jù)呈下降趨勢(shì)。七分之一的英國(guó)人(14%)會(huì)與網(wǎng)友發(fā)生性關(guān)系,在倫敦生活(20%)年齡在25歲至34(28%)的青年人中最常見(jiàn)。調(diào)查還顯示英國(guó)人平均擁有10位性伴侶,這一數(shù)據(jù)相較2008年的稍高。

The survey also revealed a fairly liberal attitude to homosexuality among respondents. Six years ago, 55% of Britons supported the right of same-sex couples to marry. That proportion has now increased to 63%. And there has been an even larger increase in the proportion of those supporting the right of same-sex couples to adopt children. A minority (44%) backed the concept in 2008. Today that figure has increased to 61%
調(diào)查還顯示受訪者對(duì)同性戀的態(tài)度相對(duì)自由。六年前,55%的英國(guó)人支持同性婚姻?,F(xiàn)在這一比例已上升至63%。支持同性夫妻領(lǐng)養(yǎng)孩子的比例上升得更大,2008年只有44%支持,今天這一數(shù)字已增加至61%。

A total of 22% of male respondents – more than a fifth – said they had visited a prostitute. This represents another rise – by four percentage points – since 2008.
22%的男性受訪表示他們有過(guò)一次嫖娼經(jīng)歷。自2008以來(lái),這個(gè)比例上升了四個(gè)百分點(diǎn)。

By contrast, the figure of 11% for those who have had a sexually transmitted disease represents a drop from 12% in 2008. This figure is mirrored by a continued decline in those reporting worries about contracting sexually transmitted diseases. In 2002, when the Observer published its first sex survey, 52% said they were either very or fairly worried about STDs. This figure fell sharply to 35% in 2008 and has fallen again, to 28% in 2014.
相反,攜帶性病人數(shù)從2008年的12%下降到11%。擔(dān)心感染性病的人數(shù)反應(yīng)了數(shù)字下降趨勢(shì)。2002年,《觀察家報(bào)》公布其首次性調(diào)查,52%的人表示他們非?;蛳喈?dāng)擔(dān)心性病。2008年這一數(shù)字驟降至35%,2014再次下降到28%。

"This decline in concern could be attributed to younger generations growing up in the period after fears of an HIV epidemic abated," the survey notes.

調(diào)查顯示,“年輕一代恐艾心理下降應(yīng)當(dāng)是原因。”
