Nations Rated for Sexual Satisfaction

[Doug]

The top five and bottom five nations on scale of rates of sexual satisfaction reported to University of Chicago researchers:

TOP FIVE

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

2. Spain: 69 percent.

3. Canada: 66.1 percent.

4. Belgium: 64.6 percent.

5. United States: 64.2 percent.

BOTTOM FIVE

25. Thailand: 35.9 percent.

26. China: 34.8 percent.

27. Indonesia: 33.9 percent.

28. Taiwan: 28.6 percent.

29. Japan: 25.7 percent.

So I as a US citizen 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 problem with the survey? :compress:

Canada wins the bronze. Typical.

Gay Kings and Gay Queens, or "the white guys are always on top"?

From most of the offs I've had over the years, I would guess the women Thais are very seldom satisfied. I know I'm old and out of shape, but come on, these guys are terrible in bed.

DUREX SEX SURVEY (http://www.durex.com/cm/gss2005results.asp) I think it may have been extracted from this survey.

From most of the offs I've had over the years, I would guess the women Thais are very seldom satisfied. I know I'm old and out of shape, but come on, these guys are terrible in bed.I just don't think you can generalise, and frankly I don't think that most gay Western guys have the faintest idea that they are pretty lousy performers sexually. It's somewhat like "cute". Almost every Western boy I've ever chatted with on gay.com describes himself as cute and frankly "plain looking" would be a description that is more accurate in most cases. People don't like facing up to the truth about themselves, and I've been told that describing myself as a "bald, fat old cunt" is "putting myself down". "Give yourself a pat on the back" - the American response for barely coping with all sorts of personal inadequacies - is all too prevalent

If you take rimming, for example, a fairly common activity in porn films - in my experience most Western guys won't rim. I've had good and bad performance from Thais, the numbers of bad generally outweighing the good - but the best ever lifetime performance was from a Japanese boy in a brothel in a Western country (he was on a "working holiday"!). These surveys are useless (this one comes out every year) except as a stimulus for threads like this

That was a rambling if I ever read one.

I enjoy a good ramble while engaged in my favourite pursuit (about which Robert Baden Powell wrote a book of the same name) - scouting for boys

Homintern is of course right that the University of Chicago 'research' is a load of nonsense; a typical example of the modern mania for trying to be scientific about the unquantifiable. How did they do it? Asked the same questions of everybody world-wide, I suspect. (It wouldn't be scientific otherwise, would it?) But a question put to an Austrian might have, for deep cultural reasons, a quite different suggestiveness when put to a Thai, and the answers given might seem to be same, but have quite different meanings and intentions behind them. You could not set up a research programme to take these incalculable differences across the world into account, even if you could find out what they were. I feel that the reason Asian countries come out at the bottom of the list is probably a cultural difference that comes into play when when Asians are faced with personal questions of this kind, and that this influences their answers. I wouldn't guess at what it is, but I rely on what all of us on this Forum know: when a Thai answers a question or makes a statement, a westerner is often hard-pushed to know what is REALLY being said and how to interpret it. What chance is there that a farang-formulated survey could arrive at any truth? Without a good knowledge of the culture you are sometimes lost. That's what Homintern's favourite book, 'Culture Clash', is all about. And these people were 'researching' every race and culture on the planet! Additionally, it's famously true that people give very unreliable answers when asked about sexual matters - though I suppose the Chicago researchers are not so dumb as to be unaware of this. Anyway, the whole thing is stuff and nonsense.

It's impossible to think without generalising, but, again, Homintern is right, I'm sure, to warn about the dangers. In this thread some bad experience has been generalised into comments on the sexual satisfaction provided by the Thai boys. I take this as my cue not to generalise, but to report merely my own findings. If they have no significance for others or do not fit in with their experience, well, I accept the fact.

I have just spent several months in Thailand, mainly in Bangkok. I worked quite hard in the day, but misbehaved myself terribly at night. Of course, I had a couple of encounters that were unsatisfactory, but if any researcher wants a figure I would say that I was 90% highly satisfied with the boys I met. (I don't go 'scouting' with a shopping list or menu in hand, but I'm fairly sure of what I want and in some ways fairly demanding.) My problem was that after a few weeks I had such a list of nice, sexy, willing (sometimes quite passionate) boys that the scheduling of them became almost impossible. I used to play tricks, avoiding passing a bar so it wouldn't get reported that I was out that night, going a roundabout way to get with a boy to the hotel unseen by the spies. 'I hope you come see me last, but you go --- Bar and take my flend Nut. No mind.' (I know the networking is world standard, but I sometimes wondered whether this mention of friendship with my last night's boy was a polite Thai way of softening the implied reprimand for infidelity - and his loss of earnings!) OK, so it was all about money, if you like, but what a standard of service! Very late on in my stay I just could not see how to manage the situation one night, so I offed 4 boys at the same time, got the beer in and had a party. One of the jolliest, happiest nights of my life, never to be forgotten. Heavens, were they determined to make it work! I don't know which was more exhausting, the sex or the laughter. The best moment was when one insatiable little devil was pulled away from me by another boy with the words, 'You too long time. Me now. Go drink beer.' (The obfuscation of who was doing what to whom is deliberate.)

Well, I bet you needed to know all that; but its the flip side of generalisation. Oh, yes, in Thailand I'm 20% happier about sexual satisfaction than the average Austrian is in Austria. One of the things that makes it worth the fare.
