All the fun of the future without the pain of living there
Is sex the new democracy? According to a nationwide poll, more and more people are succumbing to sexual apathy. The report, commissioned by the Sun newspaper in association with the men's magazine Titzancarse and the women's magazine Glaze, concludes that the British are turned on by sex almost as little as they are turned out by elections.
Apathy figures are particularly high among teenagers and twentysomethings, states the report. "In middle-aged and elderly people the sex drive is slightly higher, possibly because of regrets about a youth wasted not bothering to try getting laid," said Roger Noblett, editor of the tabloid paper's monthly "The Sun Gets Sensitive" column.
Most disturbing, according to Evening Standard sexual health adviser Lord Archer, is the fact that over a quarter of the laddish resources interviewed were prepared to admit to not having had sex, even at the age of nineteen or twenty.
"The ones who admit to not having done it, without the rational incentive of a court case to motivate their denial, are probably in the minority," Lord Archer said. "There will be plenty more who haven't done it, but refuse to say so because they're afraid no-one will believe them."
The media could be partly to blame for the problem, according to media expert Dr Bradley Ichneumon. "Despite heavily sexualised advertisements, facile sexual jokes, doom-laden headlines about teenage pregnancies and almost continuous discussion of sexual matters in newspapers, magazines, television programmes and on the internet, it seems the natural process of gold-digging, bribery and intercourse is losing some of its mystique," he said.
"The media needs to wake up to its responsibilities towards young people. A healthier perspectivisation is required," Dr Ichneumon said. "They must be informed of the need to keep up the national birth rate. They must be informed that sex in advertisements is simply intended to help them towards making the right consumer choices."
