I am fortunate to know people from many cultures, from around the world, so I am able to see many different viewpoints, from many different peoples.

One thing I’ve been told by immigrants to Britain is that their children tend to be a lot less respectful to their cultures and old ways, than they were when they were younger. On the other hand, when meeting young British-Indian girls, I’ve noticed that they are often a lot more willing to enjoy sex than many British girls; who often seem to want to pretend to be virgins.

Up until now, this has only been circumstantial evidence, and I’ve felt it not worth commenting upon. But it seems that this phenomenon has in part been documented and confirmed by the Department of Medical Informatics at Columbia University.

The original study concerns beliefs and decisions about sex, among South Asians, immigrating to the USA: The results reveal very low levels of sexual activity in the first generation immigrant population, as compared to the second generation.

It seems that the immigrant’s eventually adopt the sexual practices of the new culture, after an intermediate period of uncertainty in which they have not abandoned the prior beliefs, and have not accepted the new ones completely.

77.8% of first-generation South Asians reporting never engaging in any sexual activity,
whereas-
81.8% of second-generation South Asians reported engaging in sexual activity.
