British lovers prefer sex on the beach - but Europeans have more

A new survey shows a third of British lovers would rather have sex than do anything else.

Favourite places are the beach, a jacuzzi, a spa or a hot tub.

But the Durex Global Sex Survey found Britons are having less sex than their fellow Europeans.

British couples have sex an average of 107 times a year. Greeks average 117, Italians 111, and the French 110.

The survey looked at sexual attitudes and behaviour in 28 countries.

The average Briton has slept with 8.8 partners - less than Americans at 14.3, the French with 13.2 and Australians with 11.

The survey also examined young people's attitudes to safe sex. A quarter of 16 to 20-year-olds in Britain admit putting themselves at risk of HIV and Aids by having unprotected sex.

Sarah Rose, Durex UK marketing director, says: "It's a real concern that many people, particularly teenagers, are still not listening to the safer sex message."

Britons, New Zealanders and Australians all ranked personality as the top priority when looking for a partner.

A quarter of people rated good looks as most important while a sense of humour was most attractive to 18%.

Paris is seen as the world's sexiest city by 38% of Britons, with only 2% plumping for London.

But not as must as this:

Phil,

I HAD to flag this article for you, when I saw that the Greeks topped the list in sexual activity. (Don't let the lovely Celeste see this article. She might count up to less than 117, and get suspicious.)

107 times a year?

I'd like to see these numbers broken down in terms of age- i.e. couples in their 20s vs couples in their 40s...it would seem pretty low for the first group, but as we get older...

it did not say that british couples have sex together nor did it rule anything out elsewhere.

But where would I be without Cossack-brand ribbed condoms? English quality, without all that beach sand.

Your input is needed on this pro-British thread.

BTW: I think I found one of Allah's vestal virgins. Yolki palki... Ukrainian girls are so much better looking on the condom package.

107 a year sounds amazing. I'm lucky to have a fifth of that and I'm young. Maybe I need a new wife. Hmmmmm....

Too much pervak, and you need viagra. But then you may have a heart attack. Choices, choices, priorities, priorities.

Reality is always a whole lot grimmer than polls:) However, I am NOT going to show this to my husband. I can hear it now: I told you so!

Americans are supposedly getting 124 times a year or something like that. That actually means I'm picking up a lot of the slack for fellows like you. ;^) Heh, I'm feeling pretty good right now...

Maybe I should've married a European chick, I only get it 52 times a year like clockwork once a week.
