Szex in the Country
In news that will surprise no one who has visited Budapest, Hungarians have been found to be the most sexually active humans on the planet, according to a survey commissioned by condom-maker Durex. Adult Magyars copulate 152 times a year on average, the study found, followed by the French with 144. Americans lag behind at 118, but we're "at the forefront of the techno trend for virtual reality sex with 54 per cent saying they have had sex via phone, email or text message." Lord knows how one does the nasty via text message, but it's good to see that old Yankee ingenuity still at work. (Link via Cecile DuBois.)

Ambidextrously.
Anyone that writes, "Lord knows how one does the nasty via text message, but it's good to see that old Yankee ingenuity still at work" must be fortunate enough to have avoided a long distance relationship in the last few years.
Suffice to say: "it" works, sort of.
"Americans lag behind at 118..."
And that still a shocking 117 times more than the no-fun moralists would ever allow.
Can this be reliable though? People (men in perticular) are going to lie about how many times they have had sex. It's always going to be more not less.
My wife studied in Budapest for a while, and spoke at length about how good looking everyone was.
I wonder how this breaks down for married vs. single ...
The Magyars are indeed a beautiful lot. Are the Americans padding their stats, though, if e-mail now counts as copulation?
If email counts, than I'm up to about 12,345 times a year, what with all the spam I get from horny young ladies.
Same here, though I have no trouble handling it, since all the penis-enlargement offers have made me the size of a transatlantic phone cable.
Pre or Post fiberoptics?
So is text sex like the hallway variety? You know pass your mate in the hall, she says F--- you, and you reply F--- you, too. If so, I'm getting a piece thrice daily.
I forgot where I found that link...it was from Advice Goddess or Obscure News, one of the sites I frequent...or I found it myself somehow...
Thanks for the linkage!
