British researchers questioned more than 5,000 people aged 18 and older during the 2022 mpox outbreak.
A new study has shed light on how the number of sexual partners British people have changes as they age, and new findings have surprised researchers.
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 having multiple partners.“But the answer is more nuanced, and it partly depends on people’s sexuality.”
The survey also found that 79% of women aged 70 and older, who identified as heterosexual or had any male partners in the last three months, had had no male partners in the last three weeks.But they were increasingly likely to report no partners as they got older. Forty-two per cent of MSMs recruited on Facebook or Instagram and 52%of Grindr respondents had at least two recent male partners.
“It would be interesting to see if these findings were replicated if we targeted heterosexuals most likely to practise partner concurrency.
