The Sexual Concerns of Korean Men
Korean men are not very considerate of their sexual partners, but they are more interested in sex. They are also more willing than their counterparts elsewhere to treat sex problems like impotence, though it seems they do not back up their words with action by seeing a doctor for accurate diagnosis of their condition and taking the right medication.
Korean men are inconsiderate .... Stress-related sexual problems
"The survey shows that Korean men are more self-centered in many areas in their sex life than their western counterparts," says Kang Han-goo of Bayer HealthCare

While I don't doubt any of that about the older generation of Koreans, I've heard that young Korean men are very different than their fathers regarding attitudes and actions in dating and sex.
I wonder how relevant the facts in this article are to young Korean men versus their older counterparts. |

Yeah, yeah -- who cares? None of us, that's who.
It often seems that the Chosun Ilbo grinds these stories out with the merriment of Dave's ESL Cafe in mind. |

I doubt that a Korean man married to a foreigner is really a good represenative sample of how Korean men act in regards to sex. |

Well, for starters, because any Korean [man] who bucks his/her family and marries a foreigner is likely to be more open-minded in general than most other Kims, Parks and Lees on Sejong-no
Beyond that, western women do come with a reputation for being more vocal in their sexual needs and desires than their Korean counterparts. Western women are a few years ahead in the "Yes, I like sex and this is how I like it" category. So I'd venture that a Korean man hooking up with a western women would have some notion of the requirements in such a relationship, or would at least expect to be informed of them. |

The funny thing is that sistersarah need to ask why. Besides the reasons that animalbirdfish mentioned, I would guess that most western women that end up marrying a Korean would not tolerate a me only approach by her partner. |

Ever hear that some Korean men do not want to be with a Korean girl if they know she has been with a foreigner?
Is that why some Korean prostitutes won't even acknowledge the foreigner walking past them? |

hahaha.
i asked why because i really do believe times are changing and the 20-something and early 30-something korean men are much different in their approach to relationships than the 45+ ajjoshis. my husband's friends may not have made the same move as my husband ie neglecting his responsibilities as the oldest son to marry a western woman, but they are all very kind, unselfish, open-minded, rational people.
while i don't know exactly what goes on in their bedrooms, i've had a couple of hints after a few bottles of soju late at night -- i mean, the guys start talking, bla bla bla.
furthermore, just observing their attentiveness as husbands and fathers leads me to believe there must be more going on than wham bam thank you ma'am behind closed doors.
in other words, it would be interesting to see the age of the men used in the study. |

"Korean ........" Wake up, dudes. Stereotypes are the past, not the present. Everyone is different. The sooner that is realised the better. |
