Indians are happy with their sex lives

People in the land of the Kamasutra are quite happy with their sex lives. A survey has revealed that 73% of Indian men and women are satisfied with their sex lives as compared to only 10% in Japan, 23% in China, 30% in Thailand and 52% in the Philippines.

However, the higher sexual satisfaction among Indians was linked to “lower expectations” from their partner. “If your sexual expectation is low, then you can be satisfied easily,” said one of the researchers of the survey and sexual health physician Dr Rosie King of Sydney Centre for Sexual and Relationship Therapy, Australia.

Sexual satisfaction was also strongly associated with overall physical health, love and romance. “In India, adults who are less satisfied with sex are also less likely to be satisfied with life,” said andrologist Dr Rupin Shah of Lilavati Hospital.

However, in India discussion about sexual experience was still a major concern among couples.Sex plays a more important role for men than women. Indian men ranked sex as one of the top priorities in life, 7th out of 17 life priorities, women placed it at the 14th spot.

Family life emerged as the most important aspect of life for both Indian men and women. Other priorities were marriage, health, career, parenthood and financial well-being.Problems with less than optimal erections were more common in 40-plus Indian men but one-third of men below the age of 40 also had such problem.
