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.
