SINGAPORE: Men and women in Singapore want to have more and better sex, according to a survey by drug company Pfizer.

The Ideal Sex in Asia Survey showed that men want an average of 3.5 times more sex over a four-week period, while women want 1.8 times more sex in the same period.

On average, the men surveyed said that the ideal frequency for sex is 8.7 times per month while responses from the women indicated an average of 7.3 times per month.

This is compared with achieved averages of about 5.2 and 5.5 times each month.

In addition to wanting more sex, the survey also found that people in Singapore have a strong interest in improving their level of sexual satisfaction.

About half of the men and women interviewed were very or extremely interested in having better sex.

Senior urologist at Gleneagles Hospital, Professor Peter Lim, said sex is no longer a taboo topic in Asia; rather it has an impact on the overall health for both men and women.

Professor Lim, who is also president of the Society for Men's Health (Singapore) said the survey showed that the ideal sexual experience is one that has a good level of intimacy.

The survey findings showed that the two most common factors for an ideal sexual experience for men and women are foreplay and emotional connection.

Erection-related factors also have a strong association with ideal sex.

More than eight out of 10 men and women ranked erection hardness, or the ability to maintain an erection, as either the most or second most important element necessary for achieving an ideal sexual experience.
