Let's face it, married Indians are sexually bored with their spouses and are seeking gratification out of wedlock. Sex for young India now comes with no strings attached - emotional or marital. Young India likes its sex life spicy and is no longer coy about it.
Experts blame this boredom on endless distractions. The relentless pursuit of fatter paychecks and promotions, and round-the-clock intrusion of BlackBerrys and the internet has left couples with no quality time inside the bedroom. Emotional absenteeism has set couples on the dangerous trajectory of detached sex.
Instead of finding ways to reignite the passion in their marriages, most couples are seeking options outside. Sixty-six per cent husbands watch porn, 28 per cent of them are open to one-night stands, 23 per cent admit having extramarital affairs and 16 per cent say they wouldn't mind swapping their wives. Also, 10 per cent men admit to having had threesomes.
Women are not far behind, as 34 per cent regularly watch porn, 24 per cent have had one-night stands, orgies and even paid sex, and three per cent have had threesomes.
"People are experimenting with their love lives like never before," Dr Bir Singh, professor of community medicine at AIIMS, said.
But while experimentation seems to be the new trend, there are still some old rules that say sexual hypocrisy still persists.
For 61 per cent Indians, live-in relationships are still not acceptable and 23 per cent feel it's not in when it comes to their families.
So is the case with premarital sex. Only 25 per cent couples are fine with the idea, that too if it doesn't involve their families.
Talking about safe sex, women still find it difficult to negotiate the use of condoms.
