進入《中英對照讀新聞》Canadian baby boomers prefer television over sex：poll 民調：加拿大嬰兒潮世代寧看電視不要性
◎ 鄭寺音
A new study suggests Canadian baby boomers are more likely to fall asleep watching television than after having sex with their partner at night.
一份新研究顯示，加拿大嬰兒潮世代晚上看著電視入夢，可能比與他們的伴侶做愛後相擁入眠還多。
The Ipsos-Reid survey found Canadians between 40 and 64 years old dedicate an average of just 15 minutes a day to sex and romance.
民調機構Ipsos-Reid調查發現，40到64歲的加拿大人，平均一天只花15分鐘在性愛與談情說愛上。
They said they were too stressed or too tired or simply did not have enough time for a romp in bed.
他們說，他們壓力太大或是太累，或只是沒有足夠的時間在床上嬉鬧。
But, the protagonists of the 1960s sexual revolution said they spent about four or five hours per day watching television or surfing the Internet, more than 30 hours per week in total.
但是，這群1960年代性革命的主導者說，他們每天花4、5個小時看電視或上網，一週共計超過30小時。
Almost half found sex intimate and tender, maybe a bit predictable now, but 80 percent agreed it made them feel "loved and appreciated" and said it deepened intimacy in their relationship.
幾乎半數受訪者認為，性愛現在也許變得有些平淡可預期，仍會令人覺得親密、溫柔，但8成同意性讓他們覺得「被愛，被欣賞」，並說性加深與伴侶關係的親密感。
A majority also said sex is no less enjoyable now than in their twenties. Only 28 percent of those surveyed said their sex life was not as "wild and hot" or less fun.
多數受訪者也說，現在性並不會比20多歲時沒有樂趣，只有28%受訪者說，他們現在的性生活比以前不「狂野火辣」或比較無趣。
