Malaysians are more sexually satisfied than Singaporeans

Nicole Chin February 17, 2012 3

According to StarOnline, a Durex sexual well-being global survey was conducted and it was found that :

Malaysians : 89 % of men & 81 % of women are sexually fulfilled.

Singaporeans : 54 % of men & 62 % of women are sexually fulfilled. 

Kudos to you Malaysians for being able to keep your partners happy in bed! Nine of out 10 women in Malaysia have agreed that sex brings them closer to their partners and they feel more loved during sexual intercourse.

Now, here are some fun facts.

Did you know that married couples who are actively engaged in sex are generally happier people?

Here are the reasons why.

1. Sex improves intimacy.

Having sex and orgasms increases levels of the hormone oxytocin, the so-called love hormone, which helps us bond and build trust. Higher oxytocin has also been linked with a feeling of generosity. So if you’re feeling suddenly more generous toward your partner than usual, credit the love hormone.

2. Sex boosts self-esteem.

Boosting self-esteem was one of 237 reasons people have sexThat finding makes sense to Gina Ogden, PhD, a sex therapist. Although she finds that those who already have self-esteem say they sometimes have sex to feel even better. “One of the reasons people say they have sex is to feel good about themselves,” she tells WebMD. “Great sex begins with self-esteem, and it raises it. If the sex is loving, connected, and what you want, it raises it.”

3. Sex reduces pain. ( PMS symptoms )

As the hormone oxytocin surges, endorphins increase, and pain declines. So if your headache, arthritis pain, or PMS symptoms seem to improve after sex, you can thank those higher oxytocin levels.

4. Sex helps you sleep better.

The oxytocin released during orgasm also promotes sleep, according to research. And getting enough sleep has been linked with a host of other good things, such as maintaining a healthy weight and blood pressure. Something to think about, especially if you’ve been wondering why your guy can be active one minute and snoring the next.

5. Sex burns calories.

Thirty minutes of sex burns 85 calories or more. It may not sound like much, but it adds up: 42 half-hour sessions will burn 3,570 calories, more than enough to lose a pound. Doubling up, you could drop that pound in 21 hour-long sessions.

6. Sex boots immunity.

Good sexual health may mean better physical health. Having sex once or twice a week has been linked with higher levels of an antibody called immunoglobulin A or IgA, which can protect you from getting colds and other infections.
