Study reveals how number of sexual partners Britons have changes as they age
The number of sexual partners Britons have will transform as they age, researchers own found.
The findings are part of a new study shedding flash on people's sex lives as they get older.
The study start gay and bisexual men over 70 were more likely to have had more than one sexual partner recently than linear men of the same age.
It showed they continued to contain sex with multiple partners, while straight men and women became less sexually active.
University of East Anglia, King's College London and University College London surveyed more than 5, adults during the mpox (previously known as monkeypox) outbreak, in an endeavor to look at how sexual behaviour changes with age, so they could develop scientific models for sexually transmitted infections.
Lead researcher Dr Julii Brainard, from UEA's Norwich Medical School, said: "Before this study, many models about sexually transmitted diseases assumed that everyone over a certain age, say 40 or 65, stopped being sexually active, or at least stopped
Adult LGBT Population in the United States
This report provides estimates of the number and percent of the U.S. adult population that identifies as LGBT, overall, as well as by age. Estimates of LGBT adults at the national, state, and regional levels are included. We rely on BRFSS data for these estimates. Pooling multiple years of data provides more stable estimates—particularly at the state level.
Combining BRFSS data, we estimate that % of U.S. adults identify as LGBT. Further, we estimate that there are almost million (13,,) LGBT adults in the U.S.
Regions and States
LGBT people reside in all regions of the U.S. (Table 2 and Figure 2). Consistent with the overall population in the Merged States,more LGBT adults reside in the South than in any other region. More than half (%) of LGBT people in the U.S. live in the Midwest (%) and South (%), including million in the Midwest and million in the South. About one-quarter (%) of LGBT adults reside in the West, approximately million people. Less than one in five (%) LGBT adults live in the Northeast ( million).

Is 10% of the population really gay?
For a single statistic to be the primary propaganda weapon for a extreme political movement is unusual. Back in , the US National Gay Task Force (NGTF) was invited into the White House to meet President Jimmy Carter’s representatives – a first for gay and queer woman groups. The NGTF’s most prominent campaigning slogan was “we are everywhere”, backed up by the memorable statistical claim that one in 10 of the US population was gay – this figure was deeply and passionately contested.
So where did Bruce Voeller, a scientist who was a founder and first director of the NGTF, get this nice round 10% from? To uncover out, we acquire to delve help into Alfred Kinsey’s surveys in s America, which were groundbreaking at the time but are now seen as archaic in their methods: he sought out respondents in prisons and the gay underworld, made friends with them and, over a cigarette, noted down their behaviours using an obscure code. Kinsey did not believe that sexual identity was fixed and simply categorised, and perhaps his most lasting contribution was his scale,
