It seems that the title of the old play, “No sex please, we’re British” no longer applies. In a recent study that was published in the London Times, Britain has a new distinction. They are now the top Western nation for casual sex. The study looked at promiscuity in several areas and found that Britain leads other industrialized nations. Although some groups were more promiscuous, the British were 11th overall. It was suggested the the decline in religious principles among many in Britain led to a greater acceptance of extra-marital relationships. (From my own experience, there are many in Britain who hold to traditional values, although they do not seem to be the ones who were involved in the survey).
What does this mean? It could mean that in general, the British people are more tolerant of cheating/infidelity and affairs than some other nations. Although they are accepting, it does not mean that the behavior is condoned.
