Chronicles of the world from my perspective.

Durex GSS 2005

Sunday, November 13, 2005


well I am back from the chalet after 3 days. I will give more details about the stay later when I am free enough since such entries usually take around 2 hours to produce.

since I have nothing to do again, I surfed around hardwarezone forums and came across a thread discussing about the Durex GSS 2005.

Durex is the world's largest condom maker and of course their surveys must be sex related. thus, GSS 2005 stands for Global Sex Survey 2005.

I headed over to their website to take a look at the results. I finally found the reason to why singapore is facing the problems of aging population like Japan

Frequency of sex

http://www.durex.com/cm/gss2005Content.asp?intQid=778&intMenuOpen

Quote: Frequency of sex: Lovers in Japan are the least amorous, having sex just 45 times a year. Nations among the least sexually active include Singapore (73), India (75) and Indonesia (77)

73 times a year is the second last spot with japan taking the last at 45 (!)

this is another interesting one. the age people lose their virginity.

Age of first sex

singapore is the seventh latest at 18.4 years old. about three and a half more years to go before I reach national average then.

india is at a shocking 19.8 years old, taking the latest spot. iceland is earliest at 15.6 years old. they are probably generating heat to warm themselves up the natural way.

an interesting fact on the same page.

Quote: Young people continue to have sex at an earlier age than previous generations: while the 25-34s lost their virginity at 17.9, the 21-24 year olds were 17.5 and 16-20 year olds were just 16.3

another one before I wrap it up:

Age formal sex education should start

http://www.durex.com/cm/gss2005Content.asp?intQid=940&intMenuOpen

Quote: Two thirds (66%) believe the education process should begin before children enter their teenage years

I agree that it should start before teenage years. if it exceeds teenage years they will probably go look for more info themselves anyway.

singapore thinks the correct age is 12.7 years old. personally I think 11.5 or something might be better. chileans think it should start at 10.7 (may get them too overly curious) while india thinks it should be 13.9 (a bit too late to savage anything)

enough coverage about this. if you are interested go this website and take a look yourself. http://www.durex.com/cm/gss2005results.asp
