Hong Kong ranks bottom in sex frequency
survey
HONG KONG - Hong Kong people have the least sex in the world,
managing it less than once a week, a survey has found. But that may
be because they derive so little satisfaction from the act, the
study by pharmaceutical company Pfizer, makers of the erectile
dysfunction drug Viagra, revealed on Friday.
Residents of the southern Chinese territory have sex 3.55 times per
month, almost half of the global average of 6.48 times, according
to the survey of 12,500 people from 27 countries. Brazilians spend
the most time having sex: they do it 7.9 times a month with France
coming second with 7.7 times and Turkey ranking third with 7.4
times.
Although Hong Kongers ranked third-lowest in sex satisfaction, they
get more pleasure than Italian lovers, the Casanova nation somewhat
surprisingly ranking just above Koreans at the bottom of the league
table. In contrast, Mexicans were found to get the most
satisfaction from sex, with the Brazilians second and the Spaniards
ranked third.
Hong Kong's dissatisfied lovers, a sorry bunch who repeatedly
bottom out in sex surveys and were once found to prefer work to
sex, seem to have problems getting started. Some 58 percent of the
male respondents in the territory admitted they could not always
raise sufficient interest, while 80 percent of females said their
partners were not always up to the job.
Ng Man-lun, dubbed "Doctor Sex" locally and vice president of the
Hong Kong Sex Education Association, said most men in Hong Kong
refused to face the decline of their sex ability. "Sex ability is
just like life, there are changes in every stage. Men have the best
sex ability around the age of twenty and will slide after that," he
said.
"Pressures from life and the relationship of a couple will also
affect sex ability," he said, urging couples to communicate better
about their love lives to enhance their satisfaction.
