Amsterdam - Sex might be fun, but the Dutch don't find it as fun as a pleasant trip to the bathroom, if survey results reported Thursday by the ANP news agency are to be believed. According to the poll of 1,000 adults, 88 per cent listed a visit to the bathroom as something "they enjoy the most," making it the most popular activity chosen, reported ANP. Only 21 per cent did the same for sex.

ANP described the survey as "representative." It was conducted by the Intomart GfK institute for the popular scientific magazine Quest.

The second most popular activity, according to the survey, was having a good chat with friends. Outdoor recreation took third place.

The Dutch are nuts then
By: Natasha , Sun, 16 Aug 2009 22:23:08 GMT

For me, a "visit to the bathroom" is something I do because it's a necessity. It isn't something I particularly enjoy. It's simply a bodily function that has to be taken care of. If that's what the Dutch call "fun", I think I'll stay put here in Canada.

Who here wouldn't like to start their day off with a nice blumpkin?


Sex vs Potty time
By: Jacque Bauer , Fri, 14 Aug 2009 14:38:47 GMT

I'm moving to Holland, since there must be a lot of randy women sittingn around waiting for their metrosexual boyfriends to get the hell out of the toilet for a little attention. Easy pickings...

Must have polled only women.


What's the difference?
By: keith norton , Fri, 14 Aug 2009 14:14:55 GMT

Have you ever seen European porn? Those people are always pooping and peeing on each other so the two should go hand in hand.


Sex lags...

Well, sometimes a good dump does trump a mean pump.


Ambition is not Greed
By: danindenver , Fri, 14 Aug 2009 09:48:08 GMT

Theo, don't even try to lecture others about greed. The USA is one of the few countries where it is not acceptable to bribe government officials in the normal course of business. Opportunity is not evil.


Dutch Survey
By: mike , Fri, 14 Aug 2009 06:40:32 GMT

This makes no sense. I cannot believe going to the bathroom compared to sex was even in a survey. Using a toilet was better than using a mate? Are you crazy?


bathroom checkmates sex
By: american , Fri, 14 Aug 2009 04:27:14 GMT

This is so true.....take into consideration your average age...of course you young people disagree because you are still searching for sex....but sex is like anything else....once you do it for 20 years....its just another thing....but a good bowel movement.....and the pleasure of reading.....and 15 minutes of not having to listen to a nagging wife

bathoom sex scenes


Perhaps
By: Tom C , Fri, 14 Aug 2009 03:48:45 GMT

Maybe that's because in Amsterdam going to the bathroom means having sex.


they must like anal
By: craig , Fri, 14 Aug 2009 02:28:59 GMT

Son: Daddy, can you get pregnant from a**l sex?
Father: Yes son. That's how lawyers are born.


Poll
By: RJ , Fri, 14 Aug 2009 02:13:50 GMT

I am Dutch and have to say that there is nothing more relaxing than a great BM. Especially the ones that give you goose bumps in your neck.


Bathroom Sex
By: Jay , Fri, 14 Aug 2009 01:20:33 GMT

Mark Twain once remarked, "There is nothing so over rated as sex and so under rated as a good bowel movement." I guess the Dutch agree.


Dutch Preference for Bathroom over Sex
By: micheleisfree , Fri, 14 Aug 2009 00:26:37 GMT

Wow, the Dutch aren't as stupidly obsessed with sex as Americans. Smart people.


Bathrooms VS Sex
By: Puddentain , Fri, 14 Aug 2009 00:17:04 GMT

Well, none of us are suprised. One of those activities can include both pasttimes.


The Dutch love the bathroom air
By: Jim , Thu, 13 Aug 2009 23:53:12 GMT

The Dutch enjoy their personal time in the bathroom. I noticed that when I was in Holland. They would stay in the bathroom for hours at a time.


Yeah Right
By: Chris Jimino , Thu, 13 Aug 2009 23:29:39 GMT

Tell that to the girls who post regularly on datingandthecity(dot)com lol.


study done with proper sampling?
By: whyamisayinganything , Thu, 13 Aug 2009 23:18:20 GMT

Must have been a survey taken of young women farding in the restroom while chatting about how bad their boyfriends are in bed.


calculation
By: Dutch , Thu, 13 Aug 2009 22:49:29 GMT

88+21 = 109 per cent
109 for only 2 answers?
nice one


88% + 21% = 109%
By: Ruggy , Thu, 13 Aug 2009 22:12:58 GMT

Basic arithmetic. It's your friend.

Stan, what an awful thing to write. Why such a jerk???


Let's face it...
By: Ryan , Thu, 13 Aug 2009 22:00:57 GMT

The toilet is always there for you and doesn't bitch at you and have psychotic mood swings.


Sex or.....
By: John (no pun intended) , Thu, 13 Aug 2009 21:58:17 GMT

"I'll tell you what Sigfried; Sex is great, but a good poop is a good poop."

Stan, you're an a**.


What's more fun?
By: DT Henke , Thu, 13 Aug 2009 21:51:01 GMT

My daddy once told me a solemn truth. "Son, there is nothing more overestimated than sex, and nothing more underestimated than a good s**t.


Sex and the Bathroom
By: Veri Tas , Thu, 13 Aug 2009 21:44:02 GMT

Hmmmm?? Just what are the Dutch "doing" in there? Hey hurry up. You've been in there 2-1/2 hours already.

By: jotex , Thu, 13 Aug 2009 21:08:24 GMT

Either I don`t know how to schitt or the Dutch don`t know how to f#*k.


Did you ever think...
By: Scooby , Thu, 13 Aug 2009 20:57:34 GMT

...that maybe they are taking care of "sex" in their bathroom visits?


Good Ole USA
By: Theo , Thu, 13 Aug 2009 20:57:06 GMT

The Americans are the only ones obsessed about sex. Sex, food, money, viagra, implants. Its not Bush Europe hates, its your stinking American greed!


That expalins it
By: Baheshdi , Thu, 13 Aug 2009 20:53:40 GMT

I guess this is why Europe is dying out...


poll
By: morefandave , Thu, 13 Aug 2009 20:28:38 GMT

It goes a long way to explain why they are so liberal about assisted suicide.


this is what happens
By: unfairandimbalanced , Thu, 13 Aug 2009 20:09:16 GMT

when you legalize drugs :)


Weird.
By: JWS , Thu, 13 Aug 2009 17:43:27 GMT

From the people that gave us Amsterdam...


Wow.
By: Meh_Gerbil , Thu, 13 Aug 2009 17:14:28 GMT

Old news for anyone who has ever been to Amsterdam.

1: The drug dealers sell Ex-lax.
2: The pornographers sell pictures of toilets.
3: The prostitutes give out enemas.

The whole society is going down the pOOper!


bambeano
By: stan , Thu, 13 Aug 2009 16:22:13 GMT

I see tons of Mexican babies around these days. I guess only the turd-worlders' are enjoying the practice.


We've had it already
By: John Smith , Thu, 13 Aug 2009 16:18:58 GMT

I don't know why this kind og=f thing gets repeated so often, In the Jimmmy Carter era there were some scientists. who said that going to the bathroom Number 2 was as pleasurable as sex. Manure like this discovery gets repeated


A load of crap
By: GG , Thu, 13 Aug 2009 16:09:06 GMT

Hilarious.

By: Flem , Thu, 13 Aug 2009 14:54:51 GMT



Maybe they should try combining sex and the bathroom.


That would make them Japanese.

By: obamageddon , Thu, 13 Aug 2009 15:46:01 GMT

Sex-Lags
By: Buster Lhode , Thu, 13 Aug 2009 15:24:54 GMT

Something is rotten in Holland when taking a dump is more fun than a good hump.


You gotta be kidding me
By: Dirk Diggler , Thu, 13 Aug 2009 15:23:00 GMT

You gotta be kidding me. Enough said.

the fact that DrudgeReport linked to this article - you gotta be kidding me.


Sex lags behind bathroom visits in popularity: Dutch survey
By: bruce , Thu, 13 Aug 2009 15:03:18 GMT

This is officially now the most useless and idiotic article I've ever read. Things must be going really well in the Netherlands to focus on such trivial inane crap.



By: Flem , Thu, 13 Aug 2009 14:54:51 GMT

Maybe they should try combining sex and the bathroom.


Dutch enthusiasms
By: Echo , Thu, 13 Aug 2009 14:49:18 GMT

Goes a long way in explaining those "al fresco" urinals. Though I'll have to admit they saved me a time or two when staggering around the Leidseplein.


idiots
By: marc , Thu, 13 Aug 2009 14:22:18 GMT

idiots are those who conducted and evaluted the survey.

smart are the dutchies, who -ever aware of the idiocy of the other group- simply gave the funniest answer and can now reap the what both groups have sown: hilarity!


Hhhmmm.
By: M. Skembo , Thu, 13 Aug 2009 13:42:47 GMT

The only conclusion I can draw from this is that the Dutch must be awfull in bed.


Sex lags behind bathroom ...
By: ImNotaWitch , Thu, 13 Aug 2009 13:39:21 GMT

Must have been a survey of bachelors ...
