\nThe Jakarta Post\/Jakarta<\/p>\n
An online, global sex survey carried out by condom manufacturer
\nDurex revealed that 31 percent of the Indonesian respondents said
\nthey wish to have sex more frequently, while only 34 percent of
\nthe total 1,112 respondents said they are happy with their sex
\nlives.<\/p>\n
This year is the first time the annual Durex Global Survey has
\ninvited Indonesian respondents. The survey attracted 1,112
\nIndonesians, of whom 923 were male and 189 female, all between 16
\nand 55 years old.<\/p>\n
Durex has carried out the survey nine times, the last four of
\nwhich were online through its website www.durex.com. The number
\nof global respondents this year was 317,000 from 41 countries.<\/p>\n
The Indonesian respondents claimed to have sex once every four
\nto five days, or an average 77 times annually. The number is far
\nbelow the global average, which is 103 times per year.<\/p>\n
Indonesia is among the five nations that are at the bottom of
\nthe list. According to the survey, the least amorous lovers are
\nJapanese, making love only 45 times a year, followed by Singapore
\n(73), India (75), Indonesia (77), and Hong Kong (78).<\/p>\n
The Greeks top the list at 138, followed by Croatians (134).<\/p>\n
The survey also revealed that for Indonesian respondents,
\nvoluptuous actress Sarah Azhari is the sexiest woman here.<\/p>\n
The average age of the first sexual experience for Indonesians
\nis 19.1 years of age, above the global average of 17.3. Indonesia
\ntook third position after India (19.8) and Vietnam (19.6).<\/p>\n
Apart from the bedroom, Indonesians said they preferred
\ntoilets (38 percent) as a place to have sex, as well as cars
\n(35).<\/p>\n
To enhance their sexual appetite, 44 percent of Indonesian
\nrespondents said the used pornography; 33 percent said they
\npossessed erotic literature.<\/p>\n
Indonesia, with an average 5.1 partners, was fifth from the
\nbottom in terms of sexual partners respondents have in their
\nlifetime. Immediately following Indonesia are Hong Kong (3.7
\npartners), Vietnam (3.2), China (3.1) and, at the bottom, India
\n(3.0).<\/p>\n
HIV\/AIDS activist Baby Jim Aditya, who spoke during the press
\nconference for the Indonesian survey result, said she suspected
\nthe numbers presented by the survey were still too conservative
\nfor Indonesia.<\/p>\n
She said that based on her observations many Indonesians were
\nboth promiscuous and hypocritical.<\/p>\n
\"Once, I was really ashamed when an Australian photographer
\ntold me that his Indonesian male friends often invited him to
\nhire prostitutes,\" she said.<\/p>\n
\"He told me that his Indonesian friends said they didn't like
\nto wear condoms even when having sex with prostitutes,\" Baby
\nsaid.<\/p>\n
She added that many Indonesian pointed a finger at Westerners,
\nsaying that \"free sex\" was a Western characteristic, while in
\nreality Indonesian people were more promiscuous.<\/p>\n
The results of the survey also appear to indicate this
\nhypocrisy.<\/p>\n
Most Indonesian respondents (39 percent) suggested that
\ndeveloping countries should focus on encouraging people to
\nabstain for sex until marriage.<\/p>\n
The average age of first sex, however, is 19.1 -- clearly
\nbelow the average age of getting married. On top of that, the
\naverage number of partners is 5.1 -- clearly far higher than the
\naverage number of people getting married during their lifetime.<\/p>\n
Baby said that she often gave sex education at respected
\nschools in Jakarta and found that on the face of it students
\nseemed naive.<\/p>\n
\"But once, for example, after giving a one-hour sex education
\nclass at a school owned by a religion foundation, I received an
\nSMS (cell phone text message) from a 16 year old boy who asked me
\nabout the signs of pregnancy. He was worried about his
\ngirlfriend, who claimed to be 'late',\" she said.<\/p>\n
Later, Baby said, this boy, who had had sex several times with
\nhis girlfriend, claimed not to have used condoms and simply
\n\"ejaculated on the girlfriend's pubic area\".<\/p>\n
She insisted that openness between parents and their children
\nwas crucial for sex education.<\/p>\n
Many parents mistakenly thought their children were naive, she
\nadded.<\/p>\n
Baby lamented that about 50 to 100 people were in two
\nhospitals in Jakarta, suspected of having contracted HIV\/AIDS.<\/p>\n
She called for an end to hypocrisy and suggested parents be
\nmore open in discussing sex with their children.<\/p>",
