Introduction
More than 350,000 people from 41 countries
took part in the world's largest ever survey of
sexual attitudes and behaviour.
The research confirmed France is now officially
the sexiest state with the French having sex 137
times a year - well above the global average of
103 - with Greece and Hungary coming a close
second and third.
Europeans also win hands down in turning their
partners on. Topping the table are the British,
who spend 22.5 minutes on foreplay, followed
by the Germans.
And, in many countries, foreplay is increasingly
likely to include such sexual enhancers as
pornography, vibrators, pleasure enhancing
condoms and lubricants.
The survey also reveals the average global age
for first sex is now 17.7 and the trend is towards
losing virginity earlier with today's 16-20 year
olds becoming sexually active by 16.5.
And while more than three in 10 believe the
state should invest in sex education to help
prevent sexually transmitted infections, a
similar percentage acknowledge they have had
unprotected sex without knowing their partner's
sexual history.
Finally, on a lighter note, Hollywood stars Brad
Pitt and Angelina Jolie top the sexiest celebrity
charts taking over from last year's winners -
English footballer David Beckham and American
actress Jennifer Lopez.
