Survey: Best Sex is short and sweet - Averaging 13 minutes
The results of a survey debunk the myth of hours-long sex as a sensible goal. On average, the respondents rated a duration of 3-7 minutes as adequate, and 7-13 minutes as desirable. Anything less was conceived to be to short, and anything more too long. "A man's or woman's interpretation of his or her sexual functioning as well as the partner's relies on personal beliefs developed in part from society's messages... Unfortunately, today's popular culture has reinforced stereotypes about sexual activity. Many men and women seem to believe the fantasy of ... all-night-long intercourse."

A sexuality survey for New Zealand
A sexuality survey has confirmed what's long been suspected: young Kiwi women are getting it on more than their male peers. Results suggest both sexes are becoming sexually active earlier than their parents did. Women tend to start having sex earlier than men. 20% of women surveyed said they first had sex at age 15 or younger, compared with 13% of men. Almost twice as many women than men laid claim to 10 or more sexual partners - 13% and 7% respectively. The most common total for both women and men was 3-6 lovers. For both genders, 16-19 was the most common age for losing their virginity.

More than a third of women fake orgasms on a regular basis
More than a third of women regularly fake orgasms, according to a survey. And 30% admit they have faked it with every partner. The average woman will have sex 99 times during the year - but on 34 occasions love-making will end up with a whimper rather than a bang. But girls are clearly great at faking, because 90% of females reckon their partners can't tell the difference between a fake orgasm and a real one. The lack of satisfaction is having an impact: Just over 20% of females insist their interest in lovemaking has tailed off as a result. Almost the same number think about other men while having sex in a desperate bid to turn themselves on.

Blondes may have more fun but redheads have more action
The study looked at the sex lives of hundreds of German women and compared them with their hair colour. "The sex lives of women with red hair were clearly more active than those with other hair colour." Women who dyed their hair red from another colour were signalling they were looking for a partner. Christine Baumanns said however that it may not be the women who were to blame for the better sex lives of redheads: "Red stands for passion and when a man sees a redhead he will think he is dealing with a woman who won't mess around, and gets straight to the point."

Equality Makes for Better Sex
Sex is more satisfying in countries where women and men are considered equal, according to a new study. Austria topped the list of 29 nations studied with 71% of those surveyed reported being satisfied with their sex lives. The lowest satisfaction rate -- 25.7% -- was reported in Japan. Edward Laumann believes the findings show that relationships based on equality lead to more satisfaction for both genders. "Male-centered cultures where sexual behavior is more oriented toward procreation tend to discount the importance of sexual pleasure for women. When mama's not happy, nobody's happy," he said.
