A poll published yesterday showed that 53 percent of Taiwanese men and 38 percent of Taiwanese women were satisfied with their sex life.
The same poll also showed that on a chart of “most men with a happy sex life” among 13 Asian countries, Taiwan came in third place.
India was first with 73 percent of men satisfied with their sex life. On the same chart for women, Taiwan ranked fifth, while India again was on top with 65 percent of Indian women happy with their intimate relations.
The poll, titled “Asia Pacific Sexual Health and Overall Wellness,” was conducted by the Taiwan Erectile Dysfunction Advisory Council and Training (EDACT) between May and June last year. A total of 2,016 men and 1,941 women from 13 Asian countries participated in the poll through interviews or an online questionnaire. The results of the poll were made public at a press conference at the Regent Hotel in Taipei yesterday afternoon.
Rosie King, an Australian sex therapist from the Sydney Center for Sexual and Relationship Therapy, said that the hardness of a penis was key to whether a man and a woman had a satisfactory sex life.
“Its [hardness] depends on physical and mental health,” King said.
She said she had also discovered different priorities between Taiwanese men and women from the poll.
“We learned that ‘physical health’ is Taiwanese men’s priority and ‘being a spouse’ is Taiwanese women’s priority,” King said.
Although the poll showed that more than half of Taiwanese men were happy with their sex lives, Kaohsiung Veterans General Hospital chief urologist Jiann Bang-ping (簡邦平) said that he was seeing more and more male patients with sex-related difficulties.
“It seems to me that the sluggish economy has made men more impotent,” Jiann said.
Taiwan would benefit from more integrated military strategies and deployments if the US and its allies treat the East China Sea, the Taiwan Strait and the South China Sea as a “single theater of operations,” a Taiwanese military expert said yesterday. Shen Ming-shih (沈明室), a researcher at the Institute for National Defense and Security Research, said he made the assessment after two Japanese military experts warned of emerging threats from China based on a drill conducted this month by the Chinese People’s Liberation Army’s (PLA) Eastern Theater Command. Japan Institute for National Fundamentals researcher Maki Nakagawa said the drill differed from the
‘WORSE THAN COMMUNISTS’: President William Lai has cracked down on his political enemies and has attempted to exterminate all opposition forces, the chairman said The legislature would motion for a presidential recall after May 20, Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) Chairman Eric Chu (朱立倫) said yesterday at a protest themed “against green communists and dictatorship” in Taipei. Taiwan is supposed to be a peaceful homeland where people are united, but President William Lai (賴清德) has been polarizing and tearing apart society since his inauguration, Chu said. Lai must show his commitment to his job, otherwise a referendum could be initiated to recall him, he said. Democracy means the rule of the people, not the rule of the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP), but Lai has failed to fulfill his
A rally held by opposition parties yesterday demonstrates that Taiwan is a democratic country, President William Lai (賴清德) said yesterday, adding that if opposition parties really want to fight dictatorship, they should fight it on Tiananmen Square in Beijing. The Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) held a protest with the theme “against green communists and dictatorship,” and was joined by the Taiwan People’s Party. Lai said the opposition parties are against what they called the “green communists,” but do not fight against the “Chinese communists,” adding that if they really want to fight dictatorship, they should go to the right place and face
