Armen Posted August 6, 2004 Report Share Posted August 6, 2004 http://www.guardian.co.uk/gender/story/0,1...1277408,00.html We had more sex in the 50s, says survey David Ward Friday August 6, 2004 The Guardian You may not believe this but Prima magazine says it so it must be true: married women have less sex today than their grandmothers did. The magazine said women in the 1950s had sex an average of twice a week. But a survey found two-thirds of today's women said they were too tired to manage that much. Cynics may say the fact that there was only one television station 50 years ago, which shut down at about 10pm, could be a factor. Prima's study focused on how women's attitudes towards love, sex and marriage had changed since the 1940s. It found that sex before marriage was now the norm, with four out of five couples sleeping together by the fifth date; but after marriage the passion died down. "We studied four generations of married women and found the grandmothers were having more sex back in the 1950s than their granddaughters are having now," said the features editor, Ruth Tierney. "Since then we have started working and often still have to run the home and look after the kids. It's hard to find the time for sex, and when we go to bed we are too tired to do anything but sleep."

Stormig Posted August 6, 2004 Report Share Posted August 6, 2004 And what's the difference here, Nairi? Hamestness, or, should I say, hamsters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormig Posted August 6, 2004 Report Share Posted August 6, 2004 I'm thinking it was likely my poor grandma that probably didn't have time to set aside for sex or even self gratification from all the work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armen Posted August 6, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2004 Hamestness, or, should I say, hamsters. What? You have no idea guys...As far as the Armenians in Armenia and the Caucasus region are concerned...Hamestness was a pre-marital thing, but after marrige it was a whole different story...

Nakharar Posted August 6, 2004 Report Share Posted August 6, 2004 Didn't they have sex for only procreative purposes during those times? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormig Posted August 6, 2004 Report Share Posted August 6, 2004 Hamestness was a pre-marital thing Exactly. Then again, people also probably got married earlier, so they had the advantage there. Geez, if I had to wait until marriage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nairi Posted August 6, 2004 Report Share Posted August 6, 2004 As far as many elder females in the family, the motto is: sex is dirty and so are men. I was advised not to have serious relationships with boys. My grandmother on the other hand did tell me about the precautions she and grandpa used to take, but only because I asked, otherwise it's not something she talks about.

nairi Posted August 6, 2004 Report Share Posted August 6, 2004 they used the natural method (pulling out - sorry for mentioning) not to get pregnant. That's the one my grandma talked about as well Also counting days. Apparently abortion was legal too back in those days in Iran. I didn't know this. Welcome to Hyeforum btw. Hope you enjoy your stay.
