Survey: Americans among the most undersexed in the world

The United States is one of the world's most undersexed countries, according to a new study released Monday. Just 53 percent of Americans are having regular, weekly sex according to results from the Durex Sexual Wellbeing Global Survey of 26,000 people in 26 countries, tying the USA with Nigeria for the second worst spot on the list.

Only Japan - the Land of the Rising Sun - where little else rises, apparently - fared worse, with 34 percent of those surveyed getting regular action.

Greeks apparently have the hottest standard of living, topping the survey with 87 percent of respondents getting regular sex at least once a week.

It's carnivale all year round in Brazil, which finished second with 82% of responders getting lucky. Russians apparently found something to do when it's cold outside, finishing third in the survey with 80 percent. No surprise how China became the most populous country on Earth: It finished fourth with 78 percent.

No matter how much whoopie they're making, the survey showed that only 44 percent of people are fully satisfied with their sex lives. Surprisingly only 60 percent of us say that "sex is fun, enjoyable, and a vital part of life," according to the survey.

Yeah, but how many of us are masturbating, huh? I bet we'd spank the rest of the world on that front.

There's no way it's that high. Unless they're only surveying people in their 20's

I seem to remember a study asking men to choose between regular sex and a new TV or something, and ridiculous numbers chose the new TV.

I'm in the wrong damn country.

i'll tell you who's having it: teenagers.

Report: Sexual Activity Rises, Condom Use Declines Among High School Youth

Sexual activity is on the rise among U.S. teens while their use of contraceptives is sliding in the other direction, according to a study released on Wednesday by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Approximately 48 percent of 14,041 high school students said they have had sex, representing a 2 percent hike since 2005; however, teens still are having less sex today than their counterparts did in the 1990s.

The 2007 Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System study showed a 2 percent drop-off in the percentage of teens who said they used condoms while having sex.

The CDC questioned the students on a range of risky behaviors including sexual activity and drug and alcohol use. Ninth- through 12th-graders from 39 states participated in the study in spring 2007.

In 1991, 54 percent of the high school students said they had had sexual intercourse, compared with 48 percent in 2007. In 1991, 19 percent said they had at least four sexual partners, compared with 15 percent last year, the survey showed.

For the students overall, just under half have had sex, 75 percent have tried alcohol and 20 percent said they smoke.

The study is given to high school students every two years. The new report noted that black and white students are reporting less sexual activity than in years past, but there was no decline among Hispanics.

Whites, however, reported the highest rates of smoking and heavy drinking, while blacks reported the highest rates of obesity and violence.

Hispanic students were more likely than either blacks or whites to use cocaine, heroin or ecstasy, attempt suicide or ride with a driver who had been drinking alcohol.

The survey did not collect information on the parents' income or education levels. Some experts say those factors can be a strong indicator of a youth's health behavior and academic achievement.

Adolescents cannot always be counted on to tell the truth about their sexual exploits, drug use or other risky behaviors, but CDC officials said they take many steps to secure accurate responses: Participation is confidential, kids are spaced apart when answering the questions and teachers do not hover.

I would say brazilians exagerated a bit. Unless you are filthy rich or a blue eyed foreing, our women wont be easy at all.
