Durex: Lots of sex but few orgasms for the Chinese

From the Durex Sexual Wellbeing Global Survey
Really strange results just in from the Durex Sexual Wellbeing Global Survey this year: 78% of the Chinese have sex weekly, but only 24% were able to achieve an orgasm everytime they had sex. Any sexperts out there wanna tell us what insightful analysis one can make based on the above two statistics?
More from Reuters:
The Chinese might be top global performers when it comes to business, but during sex they appear to be struggling to reach their peak.Couples from China and Hong Kong are the least likely to reach orgasm during sex, while the Italians and Spanish claim to have no problems climaxing, a global sex survey showed on Tuesday.
Less than a quarter -- 24 percent -- of those surveyed from China and Hong Kong were able to achieve an orgasm every time they had sex.
Italy, Spain and Mexico tied for top place, achieving orgasms 66 percent of the time, said the Durex Sexual Wellbeing survey, which polled 26,000 people in 26 countries.
The French, famous for their romantic overtures, came in at a middling 48 percent of the time -- the global average, the survey said.
Other Asian countries such as Japan and Singapore ranked poorly with those polled saying they only reached orgasm 27 percent and 36 percent of the time respectively.


Haha! Ouch!
Because the demographics of people who would respond to a condom company's survey in China are different than the demographics of people who would respond to a condom company's survey in other countries?
That's probably the best answer, although I could also pull out a really ugly racial stereotype or two.
Do they even teach what an orgasm is in school here? Maybe some people just don't know.
Do they mean female orgasm? I don't think male orgasm is a problem.
Stress from those long work hours, bad environment and that fuzzy, warm ultra nationalism.
Kudos to nanheyangrouchuan
Best political correspondent ever.
Is there a reference to Reuter's global sex survey? I wonder how the Americans did.
Speaking of sex, I was suprised to see vibrating cock rings on sale at Watson's! They were like 39.90 and I think the brand was Durex. See, Watson's really does guanxin women!
That's been around for quite a while actually.
Because the 24% are the guys going to barbershops?
I fake my orgasms 100% of the time. Does that count?
The sample is all online. I think this is probably a massive skew given online content. I guess if the sample were the People's Daily it would be somewhat different. Maybe even more surprising.
Obviously Chinese men don't eat pussy.
