Australians Just Want More Sex
<snip>

AUSTRALIANS are having sex more often with more people but for more than 40 per cent of us that's still not enough.

We have sex on average 108 times a year or once every three days, according to the 2005 Durex Global Sex Survey released today.
But Aussies take serious risks with unsafe sex.

Sixty-one per cent of those surveyed admitted having unprotected sex without knowing their partner's sexual history.

"It's alarming," Durex marketing manager Carla McCarthy said.

"With the amount of people contracting sexually transmitted infections on the increase, it is vital that we embark on effective sexual education campaigns."

On the lighter side, Australians are keen on the great outdoors.
Seventy-three per cent admitted to making love in their car, 54 per cent in the park, and 43 per cent on the beach.

Twenty-eight per cent admitted to having an office affair.

Jamie Durie was voted Australia's sexiest TV presenter by 53 per cent of those surveyed.

Australians also found their politicians sexy.

2. Sorta related: I read about a survey last year in which 4 in 10 people
questioned admitted to having sex in the workplace. That's right, FOUR in TEN. (These were Americans.) I don't just mean in their workplace parking lots while technically still at work or on a lunch break at home while once again technically still going through a work day, but literally inside the building in which they worked. During work hours.

Nice.

And by that I mean: I've been known to er, do less than professional things at work while technically not on salary/"clock"/whatev, and while distinctly not neglecting any work related responsibilities. But--sex in the workplace is just so...aside from the professionality/self-restraint issues--ew. Maybe if I'd had my own office.

Four in ten? EW.

4. Democratic party + Sex party=Landslide victory!
Primates were designed for sex. And humans can even have sex without a clear cut mating season!

Oh baby!
