World Sex Survey

* Researchers surveyed sexual well-being in 29 nations, including countries they call "male-centered sexual regimes" where men generally control the sexual conduct of women, and "gender-equal sexual regimes" that emphasize equality between sexual partners.

* The survey polled 13,882 women and 13,618 men aged 40 to 80.

* Only 49 percent of men and 32 percent of women indicated that sex was extremely or very important to their overall life.

* Men who had multiple sex partners were less likely to be satisfied with their relationships, but more likely to believe that sex was important.

* Men report higher levels of sexual satisfaction than women, regardless of nation.

* Asian countries all reported low levels of sexual satisfaction and moderate to low levels of satisfaction with their relationships and the importance of sex.

* Israeli women placed the highest value on the importance of sex -- the lowest score came from women in Taiwan. Among men, Brazil scored the highest and Thailand the lowest.

* Overall, people in Austria are most satisfied with their sex lives, and Japanese are least satisfied.
