Promiscuity by Nation

[ 36 ] June 29, 2011 | Erik Loomis

Those damned Finns–labor radicals in 1911, sex radicals in 2011. What are we to do with them?

America is predictably middling in the promiscuity index. Though interestingly a notch above the French.

    We beat the French but lost to the Lithuanians, Slovenians, Latvians and Croatians? And the Finns win but the questions aren’t even posed to the Danes, Swedes and Norwegians?

    If you read the methodology, a virgin with a rich fantasy life can count as promiscuous.

    What do we do about them? If we are sane, we join them!

    “I can imagine myself being comfortable and enjoying casual sex with different partners”

    At the same time? In the same week/month/year? I think there’s a fly in the ointment here…

      That one only accounts for at most a 6 point difference. Doesn’t Lithuania have a reputation for having hot women? That sounds like the place to be…

    Forget the fact that we’re behind the UK or the Latvians . . . we’re behind freakin’ Morocco!

    Looks pretty GIGO. Fantasizing is quantified and classified as promiscuity.

    do you get a prize if your results cause your country’s score to go up, all by themselves? :)

    The Asians would seem to either have some cultural inhibition about sexual polling.

    Better questions, or even better, data, on rates of prostitution, adultery, and age when virginity is lost, number of partners per year after 18 and prior to marriage would all be massively more accurate.

    But this poll is more fun.

      Agreed except on the prostitution front. In a society with cultural inhibitions towards casual, mutual consent sex, prostitution could serve as a substitute.

      I think the one night stand question is also a good one.

    Everyone needs to get a grip on themselves. If we all come together, that’s as good as any finnish I can think off. i’m sure even teabaggers want to be on top. So now is not the time to go all wobbly.

    Just another example of how gay marriage is ruining the country–lowering the promiscuity score.

    The methodology appears at least as sound as other internet polls.

    Hint: African countries being at the bottom end of the list.

    I’m sure that there are startling statistics in WorldNetDaily polls too…
