New Zealanders Having Wild Sex

Results from a global sex survey indicate New Zealanders are a randy bunch, use sex toys, and don't take safe sex too seriously.

According to the annual Durex world sex survey, New Zealand ranked the second highest in the world for one-night stands and the average Kiwi had sex 114 times last year - ahead of the global average of 103.
Australians had sex 108 times during the same time.

Some New Zealanders just can't get enough with 3.4 per cent of men and 1.7 per cent of women claiming one day is too long to abstain. A small percentage - 1.1 per cent - revealed they wanted sex at least once an hour.

New Zealand men seem to get more frisky with age as 28 per cent of 35 to 44-year-olds claim one week is too long to go without any action, while only 18 per cent of women in the same age group agreed.

Some 31 per cent of New Zealanders said they used sex toys, 37 per cent said they owned a vibrator, 8 per cent used love balls, and 10 per cent admitted to having purchased penis rings.

However, New Zealanders ranked fourth highest for unsafe sex, with 65 per cent admitting to having unprotected sex with a partner without knowing their sexual history.

New Zealand women were the ones taking the greatest risk, with 66 per cent admitting to having had unsafe sex compared to only 45 per cent of their global counterparts.

Family Planning Association executive director Dr Gill Greer said she was concerned by the number.
"The results from this survey should be a wake up call for Kiwi women that they need to start taking responsibility for themselves and their sexual health," she said.

About 18 per cent of New Zealanders admitted to having contracted a sexually transmitted infection - higher than the global average of 13 per cent - and 11 per cent of women under 18 said they'd had an unplanned pregnancy.

New Zealanders - who, on average, lose their virginity at 16.4 years - also ranked third highest for the number of sexual partners.

Elsewhere in the survey, Queenstown was voted New Zealand's sexiest city, Daniel Carter its sexiest male, Nicky Watson took the female award, and two thirds of NZ women admitted faking an orgasm.
