Sex and Time

April 18, 2007 - The Sexual Satisfaction is the first in a series of reports, following a global survey by Durex on sexual wellbeing. The 2007 Durex Global Sexual Wellbeing Survey questioned more than 26,000 people in 26 countries about all aspects of their sex lives - including satisfaction levels.

In this first report Durex reveals how satisfied - or dissatisfied - we are as a nation with our sex lives. Durex attempts to pinpoint the drivers of satisfaction, the problems people are experiencing and identified ways in which our sex lives can be enhanced.

By analysing and comparing national and global trends Durex has gathered important information on satisfaction and sexual health.

Overview
South Africans may have the most orgasms and more sex than most people globally but only half of South Africans are fully satisfied with our sex lives.

Two thirds of South Africans said they usually have an orgasm, compared to 48% worldwide. Globally, twice as many men as women regularly have orgasms with people over 65 most likely to reach ultimate satisfaction.

Singapore was ranked 22nd out of 26 areas in terms of sexual satisfaction, ahead of Thailand, Hong Kong, France and Japan.

The study, dubbed the Sexual Wellbeing Global Survey, was compiled over August and September last year. Some 26,032 people were polled, including 1,021 Singaporeans.

Nigeria aced the survey, with 67 per cent of respondents saying they were fully happy with their sex lives. Mexico (63 per cent), India (61 per cent) and Poland (54 per cent) followed.

Nigerians take the longest (24 minutes) while Indians have the quickest sex (13 minutes).

Indians come third with 61 per cent of respondents saying they were fully satisfied with their sex lives, compared to a mere 44 per cent worldwide

Americans are having sex 114 times a year -- well above the global average of 103, and Americans spend slightly longer having sex than most other regions - averaging 20 minutes per session, compared to 18 minutes globally.

Durex found that in the land of Kamasutra, fast love is the way to go, as Indians have sex the quickest, devoting an average of 13 minutes to each session as opposed to the global average of 18 minutes.

Globally just 44% of all respondents claim to be happy with their sex lives. According to the survey, the Japanese are the least satisfied nation (15%).

South Africans have more sex than most. They average 120 times a year - compared to a global figure of 103. Greeks (164 times), Brazilians (145), Poles and Russians (143) have the most sex and the Japanese the least (48 times).

Age-wise it is the 65-plus age group who are most likely to reach ultimate satisfaction
