  More sex in 2009, predict visionaries (Getty images) |
Yes, you heard it right, people are in for a lot of sex in the New Year – and the reason is, women's growing economic power. The power around the world will give them more choices, and one of those choices, apparently, will be to have more sex, reports the Courier Mail.
The prediction is contained in The Futurist magazine which compiles the forecasts and predictions of assorted visionaries.
Perhaps that has some bearing on another forecast: "Americans may turn away from antidepressants." According to the anthropologist who made this prediction, the 100-million antidepressant prescriptions, Americans take "kill the sex drive" but many may quit taking them.
There's a cautionary forecast, though, "Saving snakes may save ourselves." The venom of snakes may have undiscovered medicinal properties but many species are endangered. Also, included in the prediction list is: "Flying cars may be on the way at last."
