eryn_chan: Okay, the headline to this article read: "Well, there's your problem right there", and all the summary said was "More sex".
devinoch: I see a Japan trip in the future...
eryn_chan: LOL
devinoch: "Japan came last among 41 nations in a poll last year by condom manufacturer Durex, with lovers there having sex just 45 times a year compared to a global average of 103 times a year."
devinoch: WHO DOES THESE SURVEYS?
eryn_chan: It just said. Condom manufacturer.
eryn_chan: Find out why nothing's being sold. ^^
devinoch: no no, I mean the actual people....
devinoch: Who would you go out to GIVE that survey?
devinoch: er, "would you get to go"
devinoch: Do you get unattractive people? Models? Scientists?
devinoch: Better still, how do you phrase that question...
eryn_chan: ...
eryn_chan: Phone survey.
devinoch: Makes it easier to lie, though.
devinoch: Honestly, they may simply be able to do things with sales numbers to get estimates.
eryn_chan: What, a person can't lie face to face?
eryn_chan: I think they'd be more likely too.
eryn_chan: No, it was probably a phone survey.
devinoch: I imagine it was a mail in thing.
eryn_chan: No, sales numbers won't give you an estimate of how many times someone has sex in a month.
eryn_chan: Phone.
eryn_chan: Almost all done by phone now.
eryn_chan: Some on the computer.
eryn_chan: Some in person. But mostly phone.
eryn_chan: It's an entire industry.
devinoch: I just wonder how you could gauge the reliability of a survey like that, one of the most commonly lied about topics on the planet.
eryn_chan: The Japanese are better about honesty than we are?
eryn_chan: It's a completely different morality
devinoch: Well, this is a worldwide survey, though.
devinoch: I imagine the French totally padding their numbers.
eryn_chan: Yah.
devinoch: And the British, well, the British don't do that sort of thing.
eryn_chan: LOL
eryn_chan: Riiiiight.
devinoch: I wonder who the leader is, now... dammit, I must find these results.
eryn_chan: LOL
eryn_chan: I've started something bad.
devinoch: Pssh.
devinoch: I'll bet it's some country who no one's ever heard of, just trying to make a name for themselves.
eryn_chan: LOL
devinoch: "Come to Gold Coast! People here had sex an average of 270 times a year last year! A three day vacation is practically a guarantee!"
eryn_chan: LOL
eryn_chan: That's just wrong.
devinoch: Someone in marketing is thinking of it right now, I can assure you.
devinoch: Or some country has padded their numbers so ridiculously high they were thrown out... "Norway claims the average is 1,297 times a year? They can piss off!"
