Support for polygamy and the legalisation of prostitution is surprisingly high among South Africans, a new study has revealed.
Polygamy has dominated recent headlines, largely because of President Jacob Zuma's family situation and active love life.
Now Health24's third Great South African Sex Survey has found that 23 percent of the respondents believed in polygamy.
Moreover, the study found that there was a suspiciously high correlation between those in favour of polygamy and those who were "okay" with underage sex, pornography and cheating on their partners.
Other key findings from the survey revealed that:
Thirty-one percent of South Africans regularly had unprotected sex.
Wealthy, married men over 50 were most likely to pay for sex.
Women over 40 are more adventurous in the bedroom than their younger counterparts.
Eight percent of men engaged in regular partner-swopping.
The survey was conducted online and the responses from more than 10 000 people were weighted to make the findings representative of 1.3 million employed urban South Africans with at least a matric education.
Issues such as polygamy, rape and the legalisation of paid-for sex were the focus of this year's survey.
The survey showed that 44 percent of South Africans were in favour of formalising the sex worker sector - a majority of men (55 percent) and a third of women (32 percent).
While older men were more likely to play away from home, a relatively high proportion of their wives, especially those in their 40s, were adventurous, and most likely of all groups to have experimented with group and anal sex.
"The study showed that women feel most feminine during their 20s and 40s and so are more sexually empowered," said sexologist Elna McIntosh. "Moreover, divorcees are back in the dating game and are sexually assertive with new, and possibly younger, lovers."
The survey showed that strip clubs increased the potential for sex with strangers and partner-swopping.
Based on the survey's findings, it seems there is a strong case for women to be suspicious. Men who frequently go to strip clubs are more than twice as likely (27 percent) to have sex with strangers (compared with 11 percent of men who don't go to strip clubs). They are also four times more likely to swop partners (4 percent) than those who do not go to strip clubs (one percent).
"Men who visit strip clubs need to satisfy some underlying urge and would, therefore, participate in increased sexual activity to release those urges. Whenever there are uncontrolled urges there is fertile ground for risk," said Dr Prithy Ramlachan of the Newkwa Sexual Health and Wellness Centre.
When it comes to rape of an adult, men and women were in agreement about the most appropriate punishment: castration. Life imprisonment was the second most popular choice.

The study was conducted by South Africa's Medical Research Council
I've always thought that in human pre-history, probably about 50% of all children were products of "forcible" sexuality of some sort or another. Whether it was because the village elders decided that the 12 year old girl was ready for her new husband; or because a raiding party hustled six women away from the neighboring tribe as war booty; or because a girl found herself out in the bush alone and a guy was nearby and wiley ... The female would either die or be copulated with, in most of these circumstances, right?
So, it kind of makes sense to think, that if these unions are going to produce a sizable portion of the human population throughout pre-history, then the instincts that drive toward that type of "forcible" copulation would also be preserved, generally. For instance, many women need to "be taken" by a dominant male; men like to "take" the woman and feel power over her, and many men thrill to the idea of getting a quickie "that you're not supposed to get" with a new woman. Right?
Rape ... I'm not so sure ...
REMINDS ME OF MISTERGAY
It seemed that one woman in three at the show would consider it as there's a sharing of house duties and things would be easier on the wife, as wives are a lot less interested in sex than girlfriend's are (thus, the need for strip clubs).
About ten years ago, when former French PM Francoise Mitterand was buried, his mistress stood alongside his wife, with no apparent bad blood. In Europe, men of means have a mistress and a wife. When I discussed this with a frequent traveler, he told me that nearly ninety percent of couples in Belgium cheat on each other.
Several years ago, a female author revealed the results of a discrete survey, where she revealed that just under two thirds of American couples cheat on each other.
I've never cheated when in a relationship. My second gf though, had a weird idea of what a relationship should be about. Long long story, but she ended up having a life unfulfilled because she couldn't get everything all at once. With that said, some women need to be in a polygamous setting because they're hard wired for it and monogamy is flat out confusing to them.
The strip club scene goes back to cave times when a couple of men shared a woman. Consequently these gals are built to handle more than one man. The strippers are essentially kept by the strip club players along with management. Of course the gals won't admit it, especially those ROB's on Strippers Web. Everybody knows the average stripper BF is too much of a loser to really support her. The stripper I have been seeing is shared by myself, her common law husband (of course he doesn't know LOL), and probably a couple of other clients. For me, months away from 60 its a neat little deal to have a 28 year old mistress that is a stripper and bikini model. When I do a photo shoot of her, she is as excited as she can be and the sex is great. Sure my contributions pay her mortgage but I frankly don't see paying for pussy any different than paying for food. Only an idiot would try to attach a stigma to paying for pussy.
A lot of these gals like shows like Sex and the City or Diary of a Call Girl (BBC). I love it, as it essentially programs them that recreational sex and prostitution are fun. The one thing women care about is money bc that means shopping. Lots of money equals lots of good pussy. No money means it can be a bear getting some. Thats just how it is.
You are living in it, the ACLU fights Christianity 24/7.
I believe in treating Strippers like a queen. When a gal comes to my table I usually compliment her and never talk down to her. Once the discussion goes to what I do Professionally (Financial Controllership) her eyes light up because she knows that means money. Many of them are looking for a regular who can assure them their rent / morgage will be paid. Once your one of these with her, then you have priority over all her other customers. With my ATF its practically like the SW Airlines commercial "Just Say When." She is always on time and gives me a five star enjoyment experience the way I want it drama free. On Valentines she gave me a card and a present. She is a class act all the way.
A lot of SC Losers treat Strippers like they are dirt and the girls can tell them a mile off. Treat Strippers like they are a queen and it will reap huge dividends.
