No Sex Please, We’re English
British men are starting to suffer from low sex drive, what's the cause?
by Tom Miller
There’s no easy way to sugarcoat this, so we’ll just say it: British men don’t like sex. At least that’s what an article in the Daily Mail is intimating. Evidently, relationship counselors have seen a serious spike in English dudes that have ‘gone off’ sex. They used to have an empire to run, we wonder what the excuse is now.
There are 2 main theories as to why this is happening, stressful working conditions and widespread depression. We’re guessing that things were probably slightly more depressing in Dickens’ era and Widespread Depression would be a good name for a The Cure tribute jam band. So why are dudes ‘off’ sex?
The ‘problem’ is said to afflict married men between 30 and 50 years old. And per the Daily Mail (different link) piece, most of them are content in their relationship but just aren’t into sex. What’s different from previous generations? Is the drinking water full of anti-depressants (the SSRI are libido killers)? Was that Russian dude right and miniskirts are somehow killing the male sex drive? Is there enough quality programming on BBC that sex is a last resort for entertainment? Is it possible that Jordan and Posh removing their breast implants was really a bad move?
Let’s just blame this on the David Beckham metrosexual experience and call it a day? Hopefully they won’t export this behavior to the US like another crappy Oasis album.

I think part of this has to do with the general pace of society as a whole. This is not just happening in the U.K., but also in the US and other highly developed nations (Japan and Germany being the worst)Sex requires not only distancing ones self from the daily stress that accompanies a job, but women, unlike men, need to be “warmed up” which requires time and patience. For men it is hard to go from a blackberry weilding, text messaging, deadline meeting, double clicking lifestyle to the much slower pace that women ask of them. Thats why many men (and women included)regard sex as a chore, and relegate it to their “to do list,” along with the laundry and getting the tire rotated.
