[Sex in Sweden--population based survey. Changed sexual pattern mirrors trends in the society].
In a survey commissioned by the National Institute of Public Health, and carried out by specially trained staff at SIFO Research and Consulting, a representative population sample (n = 2,810, or 59 per cent of the actual sample) were interviewed regarding sexual mores. The items included 800 variables reflecting social background, lifestyle, and health, as well as knowledge, attitudes and sexual behaviour. The results showed, for instance, that Swedes have more sexual partners than 30 years ago, that anal sex is a currently fashionable trend, that oral sex is common, that relatively few are coerced to participate in sexual practices, and that the abortion rate is disturbingly high.
