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. – Durex

New Zealand Women Most Promiscuous

A new survey suggests that New Zealand women are the most promiscuous in the world.

The survey, by condom firm Durex, has found New Zealand women have an average of more than 20 sexual partners in their lifetimes. The global average is just 7.3 partners.

New Zealand is also unusual for being the only country where women report having more sexual partners than men.

Durex spokeswoman Kristie Penwarden says despite these findings, there is a safe-sex warning hidden in the figures. She says New Zealanders are not the best when it comes to using condoms, and that is reflected in the country’s high rates of sexually transmitted infections.
