Better Sex Please: We're Thai

[markuk]

Thais claim they are getting less satisfying sex than almost any other nationality in the world. That's according to a study by the Archives of Sexual Behavior, which ranks 29 countries in order of sexual satisfaction among 40-to-80-year-olds.

Sex is best in Austria, at least according to people who live there, with 71 percent smiling over their sex sessions. But just one-in-four Japanese say they are satisfied.

And the other countries in the bottom five are Taiwan, China, Indonesia - and Thailand.

A sex expert says the findings show cultures with relationships based on equality offer more satisfaction for both genders. Sociologist Edward Laumann says male-centered societies often discount sexual pleasure for women. Researchers contacted 27-thousand-500 people by phone, in person or by mail. The maker of Viagra paid for the study.

Smiling and Grumpy:

TOP FIVE

1. Austria: 71.4 percent satisfied with their sex lives.

2. Spain: 69%.

3. Canada: 66.1%.

4. Belgium: 64.6%.

5. United States: 64.2%.

BOTTOM FIVE

25. Thailand: 35.9%.

26. China: 34.8%.

27. Indonesia: 33.9%.

28. Taiwan: 28.6%.

29. Japan: 25.7%.

One reason why women are so dissatisfied is that "evolution hasn't caught up with us," said lead researcher Edward Laumann, a sociology professor at the University of Chicago.

"Women are very sensitive to the quality of a relationship and when those things aren't in good order they're not interested," he said in a telephone interview. "It's a way of regulating (pregnancy) and protecting the children."

Another reason for lower levels of sexual satisfaction among women is a lack of foreplay, which is particularly problematic in male-dominated cultures in Asia and the Middle East, Laumann said.

"On entry it takes four minutes (for men) to ejaculate on average. Women need 11 minutes. That's why foreplay is so important," he said.

"In 75% of the cases the men report always having an orgasm. With women only 26% say they always have one, although 45% of men believe their partners always have an orgasm." - (Agencies)

Thai women are great fakers.

....and I bet it's a Thai woman who owns those fake Rolex wristwatch companies.

So I guess the decision for those of us near the top of the list is, do we go learn from the Spanish and Austrians, or go teach the Japanese?

Met some babes that didn't need 11 minutes. They hold land speed records compared with the article. Gentlemen , 4 minutes? Our averages must come up on the evolutionary chart. Foreplay is all part of the show!

[sfokevin]

So I as a US National in Thailand would rate about a 100% satisfaction (64.2 + 35.9)

Top 5 - all European/white

Bottom 5 - all Asian

I wonder if there's a bias to how the survey was done?

They were fakers either wanting to get some sleep or get back to the bar for seconds and thirds.

Austrians

I did not know that sex exists in Austria (and I lived there for 30 years).

Or with the usual look of Austrian women, men are satisfaid without sex.

If they get horney, they just look at the next woman and any feeling for sex disappears...

What else IS there to do in Canada?

[Wolfie]

4 minutes? Geez that means ive gotta do it twice

[Donz]

Would be interesting to see what girls they asked in Thailand.

Like was it mostly bar girls or girls with normal jobs

[markuk]

4 minutes? what sort of men did they did they survey

dont know what i would do with the 3 spare minutes myself......

[phibunmike]

Very subjective survey - perhaps more to do with expectation than anything else...

Maybe Thais have much more satisfying sex than Austrians, but the Austrians didn't expect much anyway and are easily pleased....

[siam-i-am]

Are these times with or without a partner.

Just asking

CHRIST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Really? How does that show from a survey? I might as well argue that the findings show that they suck at performing cross-cultural, cross-language surveys!

Or, I might conclude that Australian women feel more 'social' pressure to claim they get good sex even when they don't, whereas in many Asian cultures, the social pressure favours modesty, even when they string up a different hot guy upside down in the basment every night.

"Wow".

Survey people and pseudo-statistical scientists: Shoot on sight!

Thanks for posting though, very entertaining. I shall troll this elsewhere with great delight...

[Joey Boy]

I don’t about you but I am tired because of Ghosts. She wakes me up in the middle of the night because she has a dream about Ghosts and grabs me because she is afraid. I tell her to have a glass of water. She says nooooo. I tell her to have a beer and peppers and garlic or hot sausage. She says noooo. I suggest we may have some whisky left. Nooooo. Then of course I have to take a shower. I say I don’t need a shower I just want to sleep. She says sternly, by ab nam.

So by the time I get to sleep my rest has been broken up into two nights. I really like to sleep uninterrupted for about 8 hours.

I know since she is Thai she doesn’t like sex. The only thing I can think of is she wants to keep trying until she figures out how to enjoy it.

It could be worse at least with the amount of garlic she eats we never get bothered by vampires.

Sounds like marital bliss, Mark
