LONDON (Reuters) - Britons have sex more often than Americans and Spaniards, but are outdone between the sheets by the French, Dutch, Danes and Canadians, a survey by condom manufacturer Durex found Monday.

The Durex Global Sex survey revealed that Britons make love an average of 149 times a year, pipped only by couples in France (167), the Netherlands (158), Denmark (152) and Canada (150).

Those taking their love-making at a more relaxed pace included Americans (138 times a year), New Zealanders, (135) and the Spanish, who limped in at an annual love rate of just 121.

Some 3,500 people from the UK took part in an online survey organized by Durex which polled 50,000 people worldwide.

Almost four in 10 of UK respondents admitted they had had unprotected sex with a new partner in the last 12 months, despite more than two-thirds believing AIDS (news - web sites) is a serious problem in Britain.

The young are putting themselves most at risk of sexual infection, with 46 percent of UK respondents aged 18-20 saying they had had sex without a condom with a new partner in the last year.

Durex said it would release full details of the global survey Tuesday.

Hey, it's more than us Americans, although it's true ours IS with 138 DIFFERENT people.

Oh so Bill Clinton filled out the survey for you lot? ;)

I notice it doesn't say anything about the Saudis or arabs
of the various stripes, is that because they only get to have sex 72 times after their dead?

[MadIvan]

I would hazard a guess the Saudis wouldn't be tempted to go to a site about condoms. After all, the goats aren't going to ask them to use one. ;)

Sounds like someone needs a bottle of Jack and a trip to Spring Break! *wink*

I suspect that the survey either measures the propensity for lying (possibly a pun) or the propensity for dreaming. I do not know which it is.

Are you talking about your orientation ...
or are you aroused by the thread? ;^)

[Holofernes]

"Something strange happened to me this morning."
"Was it a dream where you see yourself standing in sort of sun-god robes on a pyramid with a thousand naked women screaming and throwing little pickles at you?"
"No."
"Why am I the only person that has that dream?"

- Val Kilmer, in the movie "Real Genius"

Your comment can be summarised in three words. Weak. Inept. Inane.

Most of these type threads have "freep this poll!!!!" in the title. Isn't anyone here motivated to improve the American numbers? Or are Freepers just interested in politics? LOL! </sarcasm>

[tet68]

"are you aroused by the thread"

I've heard of that, some kind of Tailor's syndrome.

"Oh that poor horribly disfigured man, but what a great fitting suit!"

Sorry, didn't mean to needle you. If you get my point.

[MadIvan]

Puns with that groan factor must be against the Geneva Convention.
