SM Reader &#8220;HappyNoNoPlace&#8221; didn&#8217;t disappoint with the content [<a href=\"http:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/India\/Indians_have_exciting_uninhibited_sex_lives\/articleshow\/2447470.cms\">Via TOI<\/a>]:<\/p>\n\n<blockquote><strong>Indians have emerged the third busiest love-makers in the world, with the most exciting and satisfied sex lives much like the Nigerians and Mexicans<\/strong>, who took first and second respectively in a global survey.<\/blockquote>\n\n<p>w00t team brown!!  We&#8217;re number three!  We&#8217;re number three! Wait a second&#8230;I&#8217;m remembering something.  Oh, yes&#8230;this one time, when I was in high school, my father said, &#8220;Third?  <em>There&#8217;s a trophy for third<\/em>?  Third place means YOU LOST&#8221;, after a speech and debate tournament. What a halcyon childhood.<\/p>\n\n<blockquote>According to the Durex Global Sexual Wellbeing Survey, <strong>Indians have also emerged the most expressive lovers<\/strong> than most of their global counterparts while the Chinese made the shyest lovers.<\/blockquote>\n\n<p>Noooo, that&#8217;s incorrect and one swiffer of a sweeping generalization. You see, it&#8217;s just <em>the Bengalis and Malayalees who can&#8217;t shut up<\/em>.  Ever.<\/p>\n\n<blockquote><strong>Indians came third on the sex index with 61% of the respondents saying they were fully satisfied with their sex lives<\/strong>. \nNigerians were the most satisfied at 67%, followed by Mexicans at 63%. Japanese at 15% are the least sexually fulfilled.<\/blockquote>\n\n<p>How is that final fact possible, when <a href=\"http:\/\/flickr.com\/photos\/danabella29\/203536912\/\">this fantastic thing<\/a> exists [NSFW]?<\/p>\n\n<blockquote>The survey also indicated that nearly <strong>74% of Indians don&#8217;t hesitate to tell their partners about their preferences in bed<\/strong>. The Chinese, on the contrary, emerged the coyest in the bedroom \u00e2\u20ac\u201d as 44 per cent do not talk with partners on how they feel and what they like in bed.<\/blockquote>\n\n<p>Now if the following is not considered &#8220;synchronicity&#8221;, I don&#8217;t know <em>what<\/em> can be&#8211; last night&#8217;s rerun of SATC was the episode wherein Miranda is nonplussed by her special friend&#8217;s constant request that she be more vocal.  Maybe the Chinese are like, the Mirandas of the world. Omigosh, they could all get <a href=\"http:\/\/www.usatoday.com\/life\/lifestyle\/2004-02-17-satc-tanks_x.htm\">that stupid tank top<\/a> which states, &#8220;I&#8217;m a Miranda!&#8221;<\/p>\n\n<blockquote>The survey further showed that nearly <strong>68% of Indians find their love lives stimulating, which is again higher as compared to 38% for English lovers and 36% for those living in France<\/strong>.<\/blockquote>\n\n<p>Again, I think this study is flawed.  You see, the French cultivate that impressive ennui like it&#8217;s a cherished <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Curry_Tree\">Kari Patta\/Kari Bevu\/Limda\/Karivepaku\/Karuveppila<\/a> plant.  Silly Durex!  They should have probed more deeply.<\/p>\n\n<blockquote>In the sex frequency category, Indians again stood third, with 53% saying that they had sex as frequently and as often as they liked, trailing behind Nigeria and Mexico, with 58 and 56%.<\/blockquote>\n\n<p>Who says the news is always negative?  More than half of India is gettin&#8217; some.  Isn&#8217;t that a happy way to start your weekend? Go forth, my brown brothers and sisters!  Let us celebrate our third place standing (if that&#8217;s what works for you)!  <!--more--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Any email which has Bowmp chika bowmp bowmp-Zindabad! for a subject line is guaranteed to be a good time.
