Happy Friday! This has seemed like an unfairly long week, hasn’t it? Just dragging on and on and on like a lecture from your Sunday School teacher. Long as it was, Friday is finally here and we can rejoice in two glorious days with no obligations (unless you’re that Sunday School teacher I mentioned earlier, in which case WHY ARE YOU READING THIS BLOG??). But before you head out into the 48 hours of glory, here’s one more story to enjoy before you go.<\/p>\n
We’ve talked a few time about how other countries seem to be so much more open-minded and less-prudish about sex, like when we spotted Norway’s steamy sex-ed video<\/a>\u00a0or the safe sex vid from Finland.<\/a>\u00a0Turns out another Scandinavian country is making pro-sex vids too, although this one is for a more serious reason: the Danes are dying out!!<\/p>\n Via The Washington Post:<\/p>\n According to government statistics<\/a>, Denmark posted a birth rate of 10 per 1,000 residents in 2013 \u2014 its lowest\u00a0in decades. The nation\u2019s birthrate was\u00a0 9.9 in 1983.<\/p>\n Denmark\u2019s perennially low birth rate places it with\u00a0Germany (8.33<\/a>), Japan\u00a0(8.39)<\/a>\u00a0and Singapore (7.72<\/a>). And the\u00a0downward trend has left people worried in Denmark. Most couples say they want two or three kids,\u00a0according to the Copenhagen Post,<\/a>\u00a0but one in five couples wind up childless.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n We think it’s pretty impressive (and kind of admirable) that Danes don’t feel the need to pro-create like friggin’ rabbits, like SOME PEOPLE IN THE US<\/a>. However, it doesn’t stop us from thinking this PSA about having more sex is pretty damn funny.<\/p>\n
