Malaysians Not So Hot In Bed?

At time of writing, this news article is the Most Viewed on The Star website. Sex indeed is a popular topic. The article in question is, Malaysians not so hot in bedroom.

Two out of three Malaysian men and three out of four women are not satisfied with their sex lives, according to the survey conducted by the Asia-Pacific Sexual Health and Overall Wellness. Malaysians are ranked sixth among 13 countries but, if it’s any consolation, Singaporeans fared worse. They are in eighth spot.

India topped the list with 70% satisfaction while Japan reported the lowest sexual satisfaction rate at 10%.

The survey links the level of erection hardness to sexual satisfaction for men and the level of erection hardness is measured on a scale of one to four using the Erection Hardness Score (EHS) developed by the European Association of Urology.

“Level one is like tofu where the male organ is large but not hard, level two is similar to a peeled banana where it’s not hard enough for penetration, level three is like an unpeeled banana where it’s hard enough for penetration but not completely, and level four is similar to a cucumber where it’s completely hard and fully rigid,”

The men were required to evaluate themselves using the above scoring system and 40% of Malaysian men reported that they experienced erection below grade four - which probably account for their sixth ranking.

However, bear in mind that only 102 men and 100 women nationwide in Malaysia were selected - based on age, marital status, education level, and income to participate in the survey.
