Love and sex during the crisis

It should begin the article with the terrible word "crisis" - and often all at once heart rate, increased cardiac output, will become increasingly respiratory movements, and somewhere in the solar plexus begin not the emotion, not the temperature drops. Just like during sexual arousal.

Then you remember that know how to glue wallpaper, crocheting and cross stitching - and you feel better. And even, perhaps, want to smoke. Right on both after orgasm

However, smoking is harmful, and cost money. Leisure, skrashenny gluing, knitting and embroidery, also requires the exchange of equivalents for the acquisition of wallpaper, yarn, thread ... And again - increase in heart rate, respiratory movements and blood flow velocity. Then again, discharging, for what Russian does not like fast shorthand in my head "maybe".

VTsIOM asked Russians how the crisis affected their love relationships.

What they now choose places for meetings?

Most Russians are meeting in cafes (40%). One in five meets in the cinema (20%), 19% - at home, 18% - on the street.

9% reported that arrange a meeting in the park, 8% - in the club. 6% of Russians met with his second half in nature, to 5% - a guest in the restaurant. In 4% of our fellow citizens are meeting in a bar at 3% - in the theater or museum, at 2% - in the car.

Thus, solely because of thoughts about the economic crisis, you can experience the whole range of emotional and physiological sexual experiences.

But now seriously. Sooner or later we all get fired from their jobs and savings run out. And we do not have to fly to Thailand to a favorite restaurant to eat fried cockroaches, go on a weekend in Amsterdam, that legalized dip in sweet smoke of temporary stagnation or even to go to Hvorostovsky, baritone, because the gray-haired blond, and in times of stability was not cheap. <

What are we left? Adventure? Well, if I did not buy all these tents with heating, shoes with spikes, with gas cans, skis and alpenstock. You can go to the museum - there is still cheap. And if you are a member of the Union of Artists, and do let free. However, if you - member, and so all these pictures you know they you do with Stroganovka in "thorn" sit. And if not a member, then at some museums will not survive long. Personally I got tired of Pushkin's childhood - I can walk with your eyes closed to and fro. Looking at shop windows (and even more to roam on them) is dangerous to the nervous system. Because it wants, but there is no possibility.

One we have as yet not deny: the possibility of love or even sex. First, it is useful physiologically. Secondly, it is nice emotionally, Third, allow some time for nothing else but think and do not freeze even in the fierce cold. And the main thing - it is cost effective. Only pre-buy condoms (or other contraceptives) is still there, on that, and giving them to each other on Valentine's Day.

By the way, marketers have already noted that in a crisis have increased condom sales. For example, according to data published in USA Today, condom sales in America rose by 5% for the fourth quarter of last year and another 6% - in January 2009.

The British are still more evident. Here is a poll conducted by YouGov:

* Sex was for the British the least expensive way of spending time in the world financial crisis (polled two thousand adult residents), and the vast majority of respondents identified the most popular way of sex for recreation, with the most loving were hot Scottish guys);
* Preferred such a leisure activity gave men. Women are still considered the least costly sifflet society friends (here and not say then, that all the women, yeah?).

Personally I have in connection with such studies, only one question: "If such a fund, so all is not so bad in the UK?".

ashi Sociology also wonder what impact the finances for the light feeling. Influenced peculiar. For example, many people believe that money rules the world (their number has declined from 54% to 39% and began to believe that the world is ruled by love (as compared to 2007, the percentage of respondents increased from 11 to 15%). A 59% of respondents simply believe in love at first sight.

And, finally, in terms of our fragile capitalism and on the eve of Valentine's Day can be to have sex just so, without any research. But unprotected. And if you want, but there is no possibility, then the sex shops for a colossal final sale of a song - thanks to the crisis.
