More money? More chance of sex at least once a week, Chinese online survey finds
Men account for more than two-thirds of purchases of adult products, according to study of thousands of internet users
The more a person earns, the more likely he or she is to have sex at least once a week, according to a survey of thousands of internet users in China.
The finding was released on Tuesday in a report on the sexual activity of people born in the 1980s and 1990s, and based on a 10-month survey conducted jointly by Chinese online marketplace Yanxuan and adult product company TryFun – both owned by e-commerce giant NetEase.
The companies surveyed 4,000 people who bought products on Yanxuan, and 54 per cent reported having sex at least once a week.
The proportion of people having sex at least once a week rose with income, with 80 per cent of respondents from households with a combined monthly income of more than 50,000 yuan (US$7,260) a month reporting having sex at least weekly.
That weekly sex fell to just 70 per cent for people in households of over 20,000 yuan a month, and 60 per cent for those who earned between 5,000 to 10,000 yuan monthly.
