Forget
\n Kinsey. For the true word on kinky sex around the world, go to the corporate
\n leader in the field. According to Durex, the global condom conglomerate,
\n more than 350,000 people from
\n 41 countries
\n took part in the world’s largest ever
\n survey
\n of sexual attitudes and behavior. The results offer some shocking insights
\n into global sexual practices and preferences.<\/p>\n
Or rather, the results offer some shocking insights
\n to the sexual practices of internet geeks, since it was performed
\n on an unrepresentative sampling of internet users via a web questionnaire.
\n Furthermore, as none of the numbers were actually verified, it more or
\n less measured how internet geeks in different countries described their
\n own sexual proclivities and activities, or maybe fantasies.<\/p>\n
For example, the research confirmed France is now officially the sexiest
\n state with the French having sex 137 times a year – well above the global
\n average of 103 – with Greece and Hungary coming a close second and third.
\n This proves the French are the most prolific lovers, or at least liars,
\n on the planet.<\/p>\n
Other tidbits from the titillating tirade:<\/p>\n
- \n
- In average age of first sexual experience, Iceland was
\n the most precocious, at 15.7 years. Surprisingly, Vietnam was
\n the most chaste, with an average cherrypopping age of 19.8.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n - Two European countries top the list of "Time spent on
\n foreplay" at 22 minutes, at least half of which is probably spent removing
\n all of the layers of clothing necessitated by their horrid climates. This
\n theory is further supported by the fact that the country with the shortest
\n prep time was steamy Thailand (11 minutes).<\/p>\n<\/li>\n - In the high-buzz question of vibrator ownership, it is
\n the Icelanders again who have the highest market penetration, so to
\n speak, of this household device. Fully 52% of Icelandic respondents owned
\n up to
\n having a vibrator in the house. Only 6% of Thai’s agreed. What’s
\n up with that? Don’t need ’em, for some reason or another.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n - More than half of men globally (59%) would be willing
\n to take the male contraceptive pill – but less than half of women would
\n trust a man to take it responsibly. Brazilian men are most likely to
\n use the male contraceptive pill (81%) – and a lot of them are already
\n taking
\n the female version.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nSome countries are understandably so upset about the results
\n that they are practically incoherent. From the China
\n Daily<\/a> English version:<\/p>\n"Durex 2004 Global Sex Survey showed the Chinese
\n have the most per capita sexual partners as 19.3, while with the most gloomy
\n sex ardour. Each Chinese has on average 19.3 partners toping the sex league
\n table where an worldwide average number is just 10.5, according to the
\n world’s biggest condom maker, Durex. It makes one doubt how the Chinese
\n possess so affluent partners while with world low-sex drive, ranked the
\n last seven in the world, also revealed the Durex survey."<\/p>\nread the whole
