Just one in three men in Singapore have great sex, while the rest find it passable or even lousy, going by a recent survey.
The online survey involved 224 men and women here. It was part of one commissioned regionally by Viagra manufacturer Pfizer.
Men rated their erection on a scale of 1 (severe dysfunction) to 4 (optimal function), based on descriptions corresponding to each number. Women rated their partners.
Of the men, 54 per cent rated themselves optimal (4 on the scale), while 48 per cent of the women gave their partners this rating.
Among men who said they were highly satisfied with sex, more than half rated themselves optimal. One in five rated themselves sub-optimal (3 on the scale).
The men who rated themselves sub-optimal had less sex and were less satisfied with sex and other aspects of life such as love, family life and health, compared to men whose erections were optimal.
The sub-optimal men had sex four times a month on average, about half as often as those rated optimal.
Up to 29 per cent of those who were dissatisfied with sex were very satisfied with life overall, compared with up to 52 per cent of those highly satisfied with sex.
The findings were similar for women who found their partners' erections less than optimal.
The Singapore results mirrored those of the regional survey, which polled 3,957 sexually active people aged 25 to 74 from 13 Asia-Pacific countries. The poll was conducted between May and July last year.
At a press conference here on Feb 19, the survey's consultant, Dr Rosie King, an Australian sexual health physician, said: 'People don't always make the connection between sexual health and other problems.
'Successful treatment of sexual problems translates into significant improvement in satisfaction with sex and overall well-being.
