trends - Chinese top in Durex-index

Chinese have on average 19.3 sexpartners, says the most recent Durex survey and are far ahead of the worldwide average of 10.5, write Chinese media. Only three years ago, another Durex survey revealed the Chinese were the most loyal partners, where 70 percent would have only one sex partners, while in Germany, France and the US only 11 percent of the people said they only had one partner.
While both statements can be true at the same time - when the remaining 30 percent works hard enough - it mainly seems a solid way for Durex to get publicity, as some of the Chinese media remark.
The crew of The Guardian of course discovered the sexual revolution in Shanghai too, as every new foreign journalist has done over the past fifteen years. No new discoveries here, but some nice observations as the reporter notes the huge differences between women in their early twenties and those around their thirties. As my favorite academic on Shanghai's sexual revolution James Farrer would say: "In Shanghai a generation only lasts for about five years."
