SINGAPORE - A recent survey has found that while 32 per cent of Singaporean men expressed being extremely satisfied with their own erections, only 12 per cent of women felt the same way about their partners' erections.
The survey, conducted in Singapore and Malaysia by global pharmaceutical company Eli Lilly, found that the level of satisfaction is more balanced amongst Malaysian respondents.
Among Malaysians, 25 per cent of men said they are extremely satisfied with their erections, and 20 per cent of women indicated that they felt the same about their partners' erections.
This could possibly be linked to another finding by the study, which revealed that while more than half of Singaporeans never know when they will have sex, almost half need to plan for moments of intimacy.
"It is sometimes necessary for couples to plan in advance to increase their satisfaction due to lifestyle or medical reasons. However, there will often be a trade-off with the excitement and romance of a spontaneous experience," commented Professor Peter Lim, Consultant Urologist at Gleneagles Hospital.
The survey found that 49 per cent of Singaporeans feel they needed to plan for sex in advance.
Out of their past four sexual encounters, 59 per cent said they had planned for half or more of their sexual encounters, with more men planning for sex in advance as compared to women.
However, more than 60 per cent of respondents agreed that sex is about spontaneity, which contributes to the romance in the relationship, and that planned sex takes away the fun.
In spite of acknowledging this, 41 per cent of Singaporean respondents would rather sacrifice on the romance and fun by planning in order to improve their experience and avoid personal dissatisfaction or disappointing their partners.
The study also revealed that about 72 per cent of Singaporean men are acceptable to treatment for erectile dysfunction. Three in four men said they are comfortable with letting their partners know that they are taking a pill before sex.
However, slightly less than half of the women surveyed were comfortable knowing that their partners take a pill before sexual intercourse.
