A half year long survey showed that 52% of Chinese couples are dissatisfied with their sexual lives, and 32% of men suffer from premature ejaculation. This "2013 Asia Pacific Sexual Behavior and Satisfaction Survey Report" was recently released in Beijing. It has received support from institutions such as the International Association of Sexual Medicine and the Andrology Branch of the Chinese Medical Association. Within six months, it has surveyed more than 3500 adults aged 18 to 45, covering nine countries and regions in the Asia Pacific region.
More times does not mean high satisfaction
The survey report pointed out that the sexual satisfaction status of Chinese couples is worrying, with more than half of the surveyed couples feeling dissatisfied with their sexual lives. This dissatisfaction is not caused by a lack of sexual life. According to the report, the average monthly sexual activity of Chinese couples or partners is 9 times, exceeding the overall average in the Asia Pacific region (7.7 times), ranking first among all countries and regions surveyed.
However, many men and women are far from being satisfied in their bedrooms. Among the women interviewed in China, 96% hope to extend the time of each sexual activity, which is far greater than the overall data in the Asia Pacific region.
Sexual health issues have a negative impact on sexual satisfaction
Sexual health issues can have a negative impact on sexual satisfaction, and sexual satisfaction has a crucial impact on gender relationships, which has also been verified in research reports. In China, more than 70% of couples or partners believe that mutual sexual satisfaction is important for successfully maintaining a sexual relationship.
However, 30% of Chinese male respondents worry that they have not satisfied their wives or partners with their sexual lives. The main factors that cause men to have such concerns are mostly related to premature ejaculation. Research reports show that 32% of men suffer from premature ejaculation. In China, nearly 90% of couples or partners believe that premature ejaculation has a negative impact on sexual relationships, with 30% of men and 40% of women refusing sex because of premature ejaculation; 21% of men and 22% of women experience emotional/marital breakdown due to premature ejaculation.
Many cognitive misunderstandings lead to a low rate of visits
Although sexual health issues have a serious impact on sexual satisfaction and gender relations, it is even more worrying that there are many misconceptions in people's understanding and understanding of sexual health issues, which also makes people encounter numerous obstacles in addressing sexual health issues such as premature ejaculation.
Research shows that compared to respondents from other countries or regions in the Asia Pacific region, Chinese respondents are more likely to believe that premature ejaculation is a psychological problem, with nearly half mistakenly believing that premature ejaculation is caused by fatigue, stress, and anxiety; More than 25% of people believe that premature ejaculation and impotence are the same thing. These cognitive misunderstandings are the most important factors that lead to men not seeking diagnosis and treatment in hospitals. In China, 76% of men who suffer from premature ejaculation have not visited a hospital.
