KUALA LUMPUR: According to a global survey, Malaysians have little to complain about in their more intimate moments.
The 62 per cent who say they are more than satisfied with what takes place behind closed doors, puts Malaysia in sixth place among the 26 countries polled in the Durex Sexual Wellbeing Global Survey 07/08.
Malaysia beat the global average of 50 per cent by 12 percentage points.
But leading the charge is Nigeria, followed by Mexico, India, Brazil and China.
The survey polled 1,026 heterosexuals in Malaysia. More than 26,000 people were surveyed globally.
The country also scored quite high in frequency, with 35 per cent saying they do it three times a week or more. (The global average is 10 per cent). But, 54 per cent of Malaysians say this is not often enough, as opposed to 62 per cent worldwide.
Sixty per cent of Malaysians consider themselves uninhibited, putting the country in 12th place, while 66 per cent (54 per cent globally) say they would act out fantasies, and 49 per cent (21 per cent globally) engage in role play.
Fifty-seven per cent turned to erotic material, compared with a global average of 49 per cent, while 67 per cent agreed that a massage helps them get in the mood, and 45 per cent agreed that nice lingerie would help.
Some 72 per cent of Malaysians felt that sex aids should be sold in pharmacies, while 54 per cent say there should be a special section for them.
But Malaysian respondents did say that more fun (64 per cent), more romance (74 per cent) and better communication with their partners (66 per cent) would be among their top priorities to improve their intimacy.
Respondents also felt that in 10 years, attitudes would change, including that people would become more experimental (65 per cent) and would be tolerant of others’ sexual preferences (51 per cent).
“We hope that with the results, the topic will be more openly discussed. While we understand the sensitivities, we hope people will be more open,” said Voong King Yee, the general manager of SSL Healthcare Malaysia Sdn Bhd, the company which manufactures and distributes Durex products.
Asked about the accuracy of the data, Voong said Durex tried to make it conducive for respondents to answer truthfully by providing an online form to be filled in at their own pace and in private.
