Korean Men World's Most Selfish in Bed: Survey
Korean men exhibit no great virility but lead the world in putting their own sexual satisfaction first, an international survey suggests. Bayer, the maker of the erectile dysfunction treatment Levitra, conducted the large-scale survey comparing what it calls the "vitalsexual" tendencies of 8,500 men in 12 countries.... When asked, "Is it essential to take a partner's satisfaction into consideration when having sex?"... only 30 percent of Korean men thought it decisive whether they made any great impression.

Thank you, thank you RR. I saw this this morning and thought, "Wonder how long it will take RR to post this one?" It makes me feel the world is in its proper relationship with the universe when people are so predictable.
Very Happy

I thought the poll was kind of odd. Why ask men how important it is to please their partner? Wouldn't you get better information from the partner?

If your partner says it is not important to please you, then does he care about your feelings? Does he really want you to be satisfied?

Well, a poll and two men think that Korean men don't want to please their partners... I suppose real life experience can't argue against that! It's like I can hear this insane little giggle as RR pastes this onto the page.

"tendencies of 8,500 men in 12 countries..."
The number of men is sufficient to indicate some general tendency. Of course, it is possible that the individual items on the survey may be flawed.

No, he doesn't, RR.

Sounds like you've been burned by a Korean lad before. Probably more than once.

My point is that actions speak louder than words.

It actually does mean intercourse (���� - ���� - sex + interaction). The word for mating uses one of the same hanja too (���� - ��ڭ - interaction + tail).

Not wanting to please one's partner is odd though.

Think of it this way; the English word is 'intercourse'. I'd be very surprised if the Korean equivalent includes the concept of 'inter'-ness.

Or ask your adult students what is good for "men's power". After they answer, ask them what is good for "women's power". I've never had a class that even understood the question!

i don't understand that question. is that why my girlfriend left me?

wanting to please ones partner is linked to the idea that they are of equal respect. Confucious didn't agree with the whole "equality" thing.

They don't understand the question because women don't need any help with their "power" - just the men.

I'm all for telling guys to hit it, but not as you suggest "just hit it", in some slipshod, manner.

You have to hit it in a way that has her waking up every lee. kim and harry in the building with her orgasmic pleasure!
Thought that went without saying Smile
