More Sex Please, We’re French

oo-la-la! According to the new “Study of Sexuality in France” both the number of partners and diversity of sexual activity has significantly increased in France.

What could be more French than sex? More sex, as it turns out — especially if you happen to be a woman. Nearly 40 years after France’s May 1968 revolution spawned the slogan “pleasure without obstruction,” a new study finds that the French of both genders are engaging in more varied and frequent sex than ever before — and both earlier and later into life. Yet perhaps the most significant finding in the report is that French women have been playing serious sexual catch-up with their male counterparts since the last national sex survey in 1992.
