Hong Kongers don't know what to do between the sheets: report
(AFP) July 4, 2005 - Hong Kongers usually rank near-bottom of the international list of lovers and a social worker may have discovered why: they don't know what to do between the sheets.
Grace Wong of the southern Chinese territory's Family Planning Association said the number of inquiries at her agency rocketed 50 percent last year, with many clients claiming to have no idea how to have sex.
"Some married couples are not familiar with their body parts," Wong was quoted as telling the Sunday Morning Post. "They don't know where their sex organs are.
"They don't know the physical changes associated with sexual response, like males getting an erection," she added.
Regular international surveys by condom manufacturers have found the city is less than amorous. Durex's last poll found Hong Kongers get it together 79 times a year, while the French manage it the most, at 137 times.
Another poll even suggested Hong Kong men prefer to go to work rather than have sex.
The frenetic work ethic in the former British colony is usually blamed for interfering with the course of nature.
But the paper said sociologists believe Chinese sensibilities, which deem discussion of sex even in school as taboo, are responsible.
Here is an example of how headline statistics don't really convey the true meaning of the research finding..
