South Africans beat Aussies in sex stakes

Sydney, Australia; 17 April 2007 12:05

Australians have sex twice as often as Japanese, but are way behind top-of-the-league Greeks and the citizens of 13 other countries, including India, China, South Africa and Malaysia, a survey released on Tuesday showed. Australians have sex 106 times a year, above the average for 26 countries worked out after a phone survey of 26 000 people for the condom maker Durex. The survey found 42% of Australians were happy with their sex lives -- the same as China, Switzerland and Britain. In contrast, respondents in Nigeria, Mexico and India reported satisfaction above 60%. The Global Sexual Wellbeing 2006-07 Survey, to be presented this week at the World Congress on Sexual Health in Sydney, showed twice as many men as women were achieving orgasm. Australia was among 16 countries -- including the United States, Germany, Thailand, Russia and South Africa -- where more than half the respondents were recording regular orgasms. The poorest performers in this regard, at just a quarter of respondents, were in China and Hong Kong. -- Sapa-dpa

More than a third of women fake orgasms on a regular basis
Summary: Click above for details: More than a third of women regularly fake orgasms, according to a survey. And 30% admit they have faked it with every partner. The average woman will have sex 99 times during the year - but on 34 occasions love-making will end up with a whimper rather than a bang. But girls are clearly great at faking, because 90% of females reckon their partners can't tell the difference between a fake orgasm and a real one. The lack of satisfaction is having an impact: Just over 20% of females insist their interest in lovemaking has tailed off as a result. Almost the same number think about other men while having sex in a desperate bid to turn themselves on.

= == = Women and Bisexuality - The most popular male fantasy
Summary: Click above for details: The concept of two women making love with their bodies pressed against each other has been proven by surveys to be the most popular male fantasy. There are 3 groups based solely on age. The first group is aged 20-35, and the women in this category are far more inclined to be with another woman for the sheer pleasure and experience of it. Women older than 35 have often been married and divorced. They may have become disillusioned with men, and are now seeking the emotional connection that has been absent from their relationships with men. The last group is the young female population, aged 14-19, impressionable and keen to impress.

Summary: Click above for details: Melting chocolate is better than a passionate kiss, scientists have found. Couples in their 20s had their heart rates and brains monitored whilst they first melted chocolate in their mouths and then kissed. Chocolate caused a more intense and longer lasting buzz than kissing, and doubled heart rates. "There is no doubt that chocolate beats kissing hands down when it comes to providing a long-lasting body and brain buzz. A buzz that, in many cases, lasted four times as long as the most passionate kiss."

Summary: Click above for details: For most people in relationships, a commitment means no playing around. That doesn't mean there aren't plenty of love rats out there. About 22% of adults in monogamous relationships have cheated on their current partner. The rate is even higher among married men. And nearly half of people admit to being unfaithful at some point in their lives. Spending years together, exchanging wedding rings, or having children doesn’t inoculate a couple against cheating. Married folks with kids are nearly as likely to commit adultery as childless couples. The rate of cheating has stayed pretty consistent.

Summary: Click above for details: Women flock to women’s magazines for advice on how to be desirable to men. Unfortunately, most of the tips were written by women and they don’t give an accurate take on what men consider sexy. That nice new shade of lipstick rarely turns a man on. Beauty is a powerful attractant, but there are other qualities that capture a man’s heart. I bet you thought I would be writing on how you can get sexy by opening a few more buttons or how you would do the sexy walk. Believe me, all that is good. It would get a man in your bed, but that is not what we are about. I am so sure you know some women who are not pretty, but seem to attract the most men anywhere they go. Men are drawn to these women.

There was this seminar on the"Joys of Sex" and this learned Professor stood up and just said " Ladies & gentlemen, it gives me much pleasure" and sat down. Sex does give you pleasure and a good night sleep. But there must be a balance and should not be overdone.

Excessive sexual behavior obviously will be considered depraved by those most afraid of their sensual natures. Such rigid group will believe that youth is innocent and will deny sexual experience as having any place in childhood.
But for young adults if you believe sex is GOOD but old age is BAD, then you will find it impossible to consider exuberant sexuality as a portion of an older person's experience. Trust yourself for greater self-understanding and you will need not project repressed tendencies upon others. As humans we are all animals, if not what are we, vegetables? We are here our spirit joined itself with flesh, and in flesh, to experience a world of incredible richness. You are here to use, enjoy, and express yourself through the body with sex.

In the dream state the child and the old man or woman can exits simultaneously and the individual is made quite aware of the full range of creature hood at all ages. Your spirit joined itself with flesh, andin flesh, to experience a world of incredible richness. Your spirit was born in flesh to enrich a marvelous area of sense awareness, to feel energy made into corporeal form.

You are here to use, enjoy, and express yourself through the body. You are here to aid in the great expansion of consciousness. You are not here to cry about the miseries of the human condition, but to change them when you find them not to your liking through the joy, strength and vitality that is within you; to create the spirit as faithfully and as beautifully as you can in flesh. In the most basic sense, the purpose of life is being--as opposed to NOT being. Enjoy yourself spontaneously

And what did John Remsburg said? "An ignorant people are generally a religious people, and a religious people nearly always an immoral people." Look what religion has done to these people with their beliefs. No wonder so many people question religion. To them (most afraid of their sensual natures) excessive sexual behavior obviously will be considered depraved and immoral. They demand abstinence and denial of you as sexual beings. Trust yourself for greater self-understanding and you will need not project repressed tendencies upon others.

Few Malaysians satisfied with their sex life

KUALA LUMPUR: Although most Malaysians agree that sex is important, fewer than two in five (38%) of them are satisfied with their sex lives. According to the latest Durex Sexual Wellbeing Global Survey 2007/08 report, loss of romance and sexual prowess are key factors for the lack of sexual satisfaction. SSL Healthcare Malaysia general manager Voong King Yee said: “Many Malaysians have lost the sense of adventure, interest and romance, which explains why they are not fully enjoying their sex lives. “Sex plays a fundamental role in our physical and emotional well-being.

Thus, it is important that we protect and nurture our sexual health as well as that of our partner's,” he said, adding that 64% of Malaysians would like more intimacy and better communication with their partners. The survey was conducted on more than 26,000 respondents across 26 countries, of which 1,026 were Malaysians. The respondents were asked about every aspect of their sex lives. covering health, general well-being, education, beliefs, attitudes to sex, and social circumstances, in a bid to comprehensively chart what constitutes sexual well-being. Consultant clinical andrologist, reproductive and sexual health specialist and Durex Sexual Wellbeing Global Survey local expert Dr Mohd Ismail Mohd Tambi said: “There are reasons why people are not satisfied with their sex lives.

It could be due to problems in physical and emotional health as well as physiological issues such as vaginal dryness, painful sex, and erectile dysfunction.” “Such issues can be dealt with and cured. Despite sex being perceived as fun and exciting by most, satisfaction is still only marginally equal between men and women, with 40% of Malaysian women saying they are satisfied, compared to 37% of men,” said Dr Ismail. He pointed out that people could also improve their sex lives and sexual satisfaction by spending more time with their partners, de-stressing and introducing more romance into their sex lives. “The ability to talk things out with your partner can lead to an emotional relationship filled with love and respect, which can then lead to ultimate sexual pleasure.

Malaysians rank sixth fastest in love-making

KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysians spend an average of 19.9 minutes when they make love. Hardly the stuff romance novels are made of, they ranked sixth quickest in the world in terms of time spent in a love-making session. However, if it’s any consolation, the average time spent is above the global average of 18.3 minutes. India’s lovers were the world’s quickest, spending only 13.2 minutes per session. Nigeria once again topped the ranking on a leisurely 23 minutes.

Singapore, Hong Kong, Japan, Thailand and Australia were all well below the world average time. Malaysians were just a heartbeat ahead of China’s lovers who took 20 minutes.This was the findings from the "Global Sexual Wellbeing Survey" by condom-maker Durex. It was revealed at the ongoing World Congress on Sexual Health in Sydney, Australia. More than 26,000 people from 26 countries were screened online by global research firm Harris Interactive from August to September last year. Durex’s local distributor SSL Healthcare Malaysia general manager Voong King Yee said sex played a fundamental role in the physical and emotional well-being of a person.

The survey found two in five (or 38 per cent) of the 1,026 Malaysians polled were fully satisfied with their sex lives. Forty per cent of Malaysian women were completely satisfied compared with 37 per cent of their male counterparts. Want to know how you can spice things up? "Seven in 10 (74 per cent) of the Malaysians surveyed said the situation could be remedied by injecting some old-fashioned love, tenderness, adventure and romance. "Two-thirds (64 per cent) like more intimacy and better communication with their partners," said Voong. Even in the "country of romance", France, they do not get it right all the time. Only 25 per cent said they were satisfied with their sex lives. Nigerians, on the other hand, know something others don’t. They have the most people (67 per cent) satisfied with their sex lives, followed by Mexicans (63 per cent) and Indians (61 per cent).

The survey found that Malaysians have sex 115 times a year compared with the global average of 103. The Greeks made an Olympian effort of 164 times, with Brazilians the next most amorous at 145, followed by the Poles and Russians (both 143) and Indians with 130. The survey also found that Asians were least satisfied with their sex lives. Australia’s Bond University sex expert Gabrielle Morrissey said it reflected cultural issues relating to sex in Asia. "Work is more important than sex in many Asian countries."
