Really strange results just in from the Durex Sexual Wellbeing Global Survey this year: 78% of the Chinese have sex weekly, but only 24% were able to achieve an orgasm everytime they had sex. Any sexperts out there wanna tell us what insightful analysis one can make based on the above two statistics?
The Chinese might be top global performers when it comes to business, but during sex they appear to be struggling to reach their peak.
Couples from China and Hong Kong are the least likely to reach orgasm during sex, while the Italians and Spanish claim to have no problems climaxing, a global sex survey showed on Tuesday.
Less than a quarter -- 24 percent -- of those surveyed from China and Hong Kong were able to achieve an orgasm every time they had sex.
Italy, Spain and Mexico tied for top place, achieving orgasms 66 percent of the time, said the Durex Sexual Wellbeing survey, which polled 26,000 people in 26 countries.
The French, famous for their romantic overtures, came in at a middling 48 percent of the time -- the global average, the survey said.
Other Asian countries such as Japan and Singapore ranked poorly with those polled saying they only reached orgasm 27 percent and 36 percent of the time respectively.
Of those who manage to climax, the Japanese were the least satisfied with the intensity of the orgasm while Mexicans and Brazilians said they were the most satisfied.
Women climaxed less than men, with 32 percent saying they reached the peak every time they had sex, compared with 63 percent of men.
Factors that enhanced an orgasm included delaying climax, longer foreplay time and having a strong emotional relationship, the survey said.
The survey also found that while men preferred to orgasm with a partner, women achieved an orgasm more easily through masturbation.
"If you want to have an orgasm, it's important that you allow yourself to surrender to the good feelings you are experiencing," said Kevan Wylie, a sexual health expert, in a statement.

55% of us Brits get jiggy weekly, I don't think that's that impressive to be honest kids.
Time for some training me thinks :D -
I wonder if culture has anything to do with it? I've not heard much about orgasm in Asian cultures, though then again it's not something I've looked historically into..
And yeah, UK at 55%?? Dear me... -
i guess practice doesn't make perfect for the chinese then

Asian persuasion . . . I think not . . .
Just kidding! Probably just stressed out because they're hosting the Olympic Games on 8.8.08. But in theory, the Olympic Games do attract tourists, including those from Greece & Brazil . . . think about it.-

It's funny to see the US tied second to last. I could care less about the sexual habits of others, though.

Hate to be Chinese...

why is Poland listed 2x? This is definitely something cultural. Italians are known to be great lovers, and so are Spaniards. The Brazilians basically all look good and are comfortable with their bodies. The USA, well we have the Bible belt and the largest obesity rate of any developed nation. Japan, I don't really know. I guess its being overworked all day.

Those poor women! I should go there now to lend a helping.....well you get the picture...

the government probably regulates that too in china.

Excuses. I'm very disappointed to see the grand ole' USA coming in second-to-last. Brazil's rank doesn't surprise me though. Interesting statistics!

Maybe the Chinese don't orgasm so they don't have to get fined for a second kid.

it's no wonder the japanese aren't having very frequent sex; they're too busy inventing robotic sex androids.

Maybe the Chinese simply couldn't *say* how often they have orgasms, what with talking about sex and intimate relationships being banned during the Olympics and all...

I'm not surprised at all about the USA statistic. Our society is so dysfunctional already.
