Chinese sex life like the pandas - not much

I am also curious about these national surveys which compare different countries. How accurate are they?
Given that most people are likely to be generous with self-reporting, what can we take from this survey of different countries around the world? And China's poor showing? Or is it a great showing?
And are those folk from Spain, Mexico and South Africa just wasting valuable energy?


Chinese need to work on sex life
By Shi Xi

The average Chinese are among the least likely in the world to have an orgasm, according to the Durex Sexual Wellbeing Global Survey.

The Durex survey examines the sexual behavior and attitudes of men and women worldwide. Some 26,000 people in 26 countries were questioned about key aspects of their sex lives: health, general wellbeing, education, beliefs, sex and relationships, attitudes to sex and social circumstances.

The survey found that only 24 percent of Chinese in the mainland climax almost every time they have sex, the same percentage as Hong Kong people. On the contrary, Spanish, Mexicans and South Africans are the most likely to climax, with 66 percent usually managing to hit the spot.

Globally, 58 percent of those who usually achieve orgasm were content with the emotional aspects of their sex life compared with 29 percent of those who rarely do. Eight in 10 who frequently orgasm feel close to their partner during sex - a figure that falls to 54 percent for those who have difficulty hitting the spot.

Despite the low rate of climaxing, Chinese people are feeling some of the benefits of orgasm, with a whopping 86 percent of them who frequently orgasm feel at ease with themselves sexually; only 58 percent of them are happy with their psychological health. And while 30 percent of Chinese males almost always climax during sex, only 13 percent of women almost always achieve orgasm.

In order to help people fulfil their sex lives, the survey suggests massaging one's partner, taking things slowly, and spending more time alone with one's partner

"Regularly achieving orgasms help improve our emotional and overall wellbeing, as well as our bond with our partner," says Dr Kevan Wylie, a sexual health expert. "It can also help reduce life's stresses. To achieve that, you need to have a protected and uninterrupted time together, keep the rest of the family at bay and make sure you don't bring your work worries with you into the bedroom.

"It's also important to communicate with your partner and have a strong bond of trust," he advises. "Don't be afraid to tell them what you like and don't like in sex, the more you learn about each other's needs, the better it will become."
