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.

I posted this story earlier in the day because I was hoping to nip it in the bud. Oh well. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! No chance, mate. You're for it.
149 times a year? Yeah, I believe it - two weeks' worth of work a year and the rest is nothing but beer and cricket, isn't it?

What constitutes "having sex" in this survey???

This is nonsense---if Brits have sex 149 times a year, then
100 times it's with a prostitute. I'd be very surprised if
anyone in the advanced industrial world of adult age has sex more than 50 times a year on average. People in the 40-60 age range have sex at most once a week.

Really depends on the definition that was used for sex. It could include a lot of things that I would not really consider sex.

What with the low showing of 138 times a year plus the recent National Geographic poll, looks like Americans arent coming on top of anything right now!

Well, with 4 kids already with another (possibly) on the way, Im thinking of shutting up shop altogether!,,, I've got two from a previous marriage. My new wife figures Aug 2003 would be a good time to renew efforts for more. Another two will be OK by me.

There are lies, damnable lies, and statistics...

Did they include Clinton in the US survey? I'm guessing they included Chelsea Clinton in the UK survey. Without the lovely but horney Chels 'n' Ian, the UK average is down to 4 times a year.
(Ewwww)

Ivan, that will change as you get older. #;^)

,,, thanx for providing my justification!

Sex 149 Times a Year Is UK Average? The BRITS? Are they sure they are counting incidents of sex instead of just the total number of strokes per year?
On second thought, with Brits, the two numbers may not be that far apart...
