Skip Dating and Hook-Up

Do you really believe the dating culture is dying off and that singles are on the prowl more for sex then a dating partner?

In a recent study conducted in New Zealand, women are going out in packs, getting drunk and surveying the market of who they’d like to have no-strings sex with.

That’s one of the findings of a TVNZ Sunday investigation into the sexual behavior of New Zealand women. The program makers did the story after Kiwi women last year topped the Durex Sexual Wellbeing Global Survey as the world’s most promiscuous.

They are reported to have an average of 20 sexual partners, double that of their Australian and British counterparts and almost three times the global average of seven.

This survey indicates there’s a new kind of mating ritual underway – and it’s sex first – date later.

If the first sexual experience leaves something to be desired, women aren’t going to waste their time pursuing the relationship further.

While women are finding the winds of change to be somewhat empowering, men are also feeling the impact.

According to a similar poll on sexual behaviors, 29% of the 5000 men surveyed felt they had been pressured into having sex or had had sex unwillingly. 

While I may be quite confident in my own sexuality and know exactly what I want and need, I still have a difficult time thinking that society is growing in a direction that no longer takes pride in long and emotionally fulfilling courtships.

Anything you’d like to add or are you just sitting there shaking your head like I did when I first read about the new sexual revolution?
