And the World's Sexual Superpower Is...
Tuesday November 27 9:01 AM ET

WELLINGTON (Reuters) - The United States remains the sexual superpower of the world with Americans making love more often and with more partners than any other nationality, according to a survey by a leading condom manufacturer.

Durex SSL International said Tuesday that its annual poll of 18,500 people in 28 countries showed the world was having more sex and starting earlier than ever before, and the United States was leading the field in all departments.

The survey -- carried out in May and published ahead of World Aids Day on December 1 -- showed respondents averaging sex 97 times a year, up from 96 last year.

But those Americans questioned averaged sex 124 times a year with over 14 different partners and were also starting earlier than anyone else at an average age of 16.

The Greeks made love the second most frequently -- 117 times a year on average -- while the Germans were the second youngest to get started at 16.6 years.

France's reputation as a nation of lovers took something of a hit with frequency dropping from 121 times a year to 110 and slumping from top of the number of partners table to second with 13 compared to 17 a year ago.

Japan remained bottom of the lovers league with an average 36 sexual encounters a year.

Overall, 60 percent of respondents said they had sex at least once a week and four percent claimed to make love daily.

But single people had the least sex -- 86 times a year -- and the libido of married couples (100 times) also trailed those living together (145 times).

One in 10 people said they never had sex.

The global average age of first sex moved down slightly to 18.0 years from 18.1, while the number of partners dropped to 7.7 from 8.2.

Men appeared to be more sexually active than women, claiming a frequency of 102 times a year against 91. Men also claimed an average 10.7 partners, versus 4.6 for women.

The beach was the most popular venue for love making, with 27 percent of respondents putting it ahead of a runner-up hot tub.

Hmm. Something just doesn't seem to add up. I believe men and women have approximately equal numbers on the planet so if men are having sex with more than twice as many partners as women, either someone is lying or about 50% of men are gay/bi. What is the world coming to - men lying about sex!?

Yer... but they dont say it only lasts 5 minuits..

[bilbogod]

Dont assume that imbalance in figs between men and women is just down to gay/bi. Some of thats gonna be bestiality and necrophilia. The samples don't include countries like Thailand and Holland. Hell people are doing it most days and nights (allegedly

If masteurbation counts than that might account for the difference (although both counts are way too low for it to possibly include that).

[bilbogod]

Hmmm...

[iant]

Yep....gotta be right.....After all, they surveyed 18500 people across 28 countries. You do the maths and then figure it out against your countries population.

What's that old line. Lies, Damn Lies and Statistics. ( Mark Twain, I think. )

As regards the larger number of male acts to female, there's a simple answer....Jerks.
( Sorry....couldnt resist. )

USA only turned out #1 because they asked zzyzxx's mom and she replied:
"...200000 times a year".
LOL!
Kind of unfair as it bumps up the average.

Sorry, I can't hear a bad word said about his mom. After all she cooks a great breakfast

[SupaCoopa]

AND WE'RE #2! WE'RE #2! WE'RE #2!

Thank God they didn't ask me, because I would definately bring down my proud country's average....

[mijman]

Come on, get real. Married couples having sex 100 times a year? On what planet? Before I got married 1.5 years ago, I had sex that much. Now, down to a mere 12-15. Marriage has killed my sex life.

[d4n13l]

LOL, bad luck dude.

What is the difference between your job and your wife?
Your job still sucks after 5 years.

...guess you had better make the most of the next 3.5 years mijman.

[bilbogod]

Yeah - Lifes a bitch, and then you marry one

[mikewg]

Here's the reason for the difference:

Let's say there's a country with 10 men and 10 women. If all 10 men have slept with Tina, the local town slutty girl... that would mean 100% of men have had sex and 10% of women have had sex. If a man's percentage rate is higher, it just means there's more wholesome people and the easy people are just easier.

[bilbogod]

zzyzzx's mum isn't called Tina is she?

[d4n13l]

No... shes called "Extension 5."

...just remember to dial "1-870 DIRTYTALK" before you ask for her.

Maybe this is one possible explaination for the skewed count:

[Onan Johnson]

Old "big arm" looks very British. LOL!!!!!!

[muddyshooz]

But how'z that possible? He actually seems to have a little chest hair (albeit just a tad) ... Hahahahahahah!!!

BTW, I'm pretty sure this topic should've been placed in the "Hardware Playing" forum .... (or, perhaps, "Software Playing&quot

8^P

I wonder if he can do "one-armed pushups", too? Or, would that be "one-armed pullups"?

Hahahahahahahahahahahah!!!!!!

[Onan Johnson]

This one should make you Brits happy:

More Sex Please, We're British!
Updated: Fri, Nov 30 10:10 AM EST

LONDON (Reuters) - Forget the reserve and stiff upper lip -- Britons are more open about sex, have more partners, homosexual experiences and pay for it more often than they did a decade ago.

A national sex survey published on Friday detailing changes and variations in sexual practices and attitudes from a similar poll just 10 years ago, shows Britons have come a long way since the strait-laced Victorian age.

People are better informed, have sex earlier, get married later and are more accepting of homosexual behavior and one-night stands.

"We are now, arguably, a more open, tolerant and even more honest society about sexual attitudes than 10 years ago," Professor Anne Johnson of University College London told a news conference.

The computer survey of 11,161 people aged 16-44, which is reported in three studies in the Lancet medical journal, involved 200 questions on all aspects of sexual behavior and lifestyle. People aged over 44 were omitted because of budget restrictions.

It showed most people have sex once a week, similar to a decade ago, but nearly one in three men and one in five women had a new partner in the last year. The figures rose to nearly half among those aged 16-24.

The average number of partners in the last five years was four for men and two for women.

SWEET 16?

Kay Wellings, of the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, who focused on the sexual behavior of young people, found a quarter of women and nearly one-third of men have sex before their 16th birthday but the average age for both is 16.

It follows a steady pattern of earlier sex that began in the 1950s, when the age of first sex was 21, through to the 1980s, when it fell to 17. But an increase in the number of women having sex under the age of 16 has leveled off.

"What we are seeing is the tail end of a very long trend," Wellings said, adding that the age of first sex in Britain is consistent with other countries.

Up to 80 percent of young people said they used a condom during their first sexual encounter, a 20 percent rise from 10 years ago. Fewer than 10 percent used no contraceptives.

Wellings said the findings give rise to cautious optimism for Britain, which has the highest rate of teenage pregnancy in Europe.

"We may have a better chance of improving sexual health today than we have had in the last three decades," she said.

But while early sexual health practices may be improving, the number of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) have increased steadily, particularly since 1995. Rates of gonorrhea, chlamydia and syphilis have doubled since then.

"Chlamydia is now the most commonly reported bacterial sexually transmitted infection in Britain today," said Dr. Kevin Fenton, of University College London, who reported on STIs.

The survey, which will be used by the government and agency to form sexual health policies, showed that one in 10 adults has had an STI.

What they neglect to mention, is that accumulating std's is something of a hobby in England. Most of us enjoy playing mix and match, with particular kudos going to those who obtain a full set. So remember folks "its here today gonorrhea tomorrow"

Chlamydia?

Everybody... Clap for England! (heehee)


"accumulating std's is something of a hobby in England. Most of us enjoy playing mix and match, with particular kudos going to those who obtain a full set."

Is anybody else singing Monty Python's "Medical Love Song" ?

"At least we both were lying, when we said that we were clear."
