Just one in three Hong Kong people are satisfied with their sex lives, survey finds
Work and study pressure branded passion killers, with men complaining the most
Only one in three Hong Kong people are satisfied with their sex lives, a survey has found.
The pollster called the results worrying as 60 per cent of those questioned were aged 27 or below – young people in their prime – and blamed work pressure.
“It is sad that only about 30 per cent of those polled are satisfied with their sex lives,” Dr Joseph Cho Man-kit, a committee member of the Hong Kong Sex Education Association, said on Tuesday.
People should consider sex as sport. The more you train, the better you get
“The majority of the people polled this time were young people. You would have thought that they should have more energy to enjoy sex. But because of pressure from work, the quality of their sex lives is low. That’s worrying.”
The online survey of 1,071 people was jointly conducted by the association and the Family Planning Association of Hong Kong from July to December.
It found that 5.4 per cent were very satisfied with their sex lives; 24.8 per cent satisfied; 33.1 per cent average; 8.9 per cent dissatisfied; 4.7 per cent very dissatisfied; and the rest did not answer the question.
Professor Ng Man-lun, founder of the Hong Kong Sex Cultural Festival, said many young people were not happy in bed because of study stress. The city’s relatively conservative culture was also to blame, he said.
