Sydney - Australians have sex twice as often as Japanese but are way behind top-of-the-league Greeks and the citizens of 13 other countries, including India, China, South Africa and Malaysia, a survey released Tuesday showed. Australians have sex 106 times a year, above the average for 26 countries worked out after a phone survey of 26,000 people for the condom maker Durex.
The survey found 42 per cent of Australians were happy with their sex lives - the same as China, Switzerland and Britain. In contrast, respondents in Nigeria, Mexico and India reported satisfaction above 60 per cent.
The Global Sexual Wellbeing 2006-07 Survey, to be presented this week at the World Congress on Sexual Health in Sydney, showed twice as many men as women were achieving orgasm.
Australia was among 16 countries - including the United States, Germany, Thailand, Russia and South Africa - where more than half the respondents were recording regular orgasms. The poorest performers in this regard, at just a quarter of respondents, were in China and Hong Kong.
