Sexual loneliness: A neglected public health problem?
I am happy about the study, since I think this is underresearched. However, I think Gini Index this is a horrible way to look at it.<p>Regular sex is important, but regularly switching sex partners isn&#x27;t really how I want to live my life. I don&#x27;t want 50 lifetime partners, 38, 15, or even 12. I wanted one. That I have more than one is a sign of failure of a relationship each time, which is not a success.<p>If I had my choice, I&#x27;d:<p>1. go back to a 1930-style relationship, were I would have married early and stayed together.<p>2. We&#x27;d have clear roles, although not the sexist, dated ones from 1930. I&#x27;m very flexible, so I don&#x27;t much care what they are. I just don&#x27;t want conflict over who does what, re-negotiation of everything, and clear roles eliminate a lot of room for conflict. With some permanent, clear division of responsibility, we both know what&#x27;s required of a good partner, and if each of us focuses on that, things work out.<p>3. As a cultural norm, divorce would only happen for fault (abuse, infidelity, etc.). Both sides would try to be good spouses.<p>4. Extended families would live together and support each other (which also keeps an eye on things not going south).<p>I&#x27;m not trying to impose that on anyone else, except for a research methodology to account for people like me.
