2. Do all men love sex?
- No. Some 5 - 9% of men say they don't find physical passion pleasurable. Which leaves 91 - 95% who do.

3. How much fat does semen contain?
- If it were stocked on supermarket shelves, semem would be packaged as a fat-free food, coming in (no pun intended) at 1 - 2 calories per ejaculation.

5. Do many women who use contraception get pregnant anwyay?
- Yes - 47%, mainly due to incorrect use. And you wonder why those condom packages came with instructions...

6. When were the first vibrators invented?
- The first vibrator appeared as long ago as 1869 when a steam-powered massage device was developed - but because it was marketed as a treatment for female 'hysteria', it had to be prescribed by a doctor. Fortunately, women only had to wait another 11 yeras for the first battery-operated vibrator to be produced.

7. How does sex affect your heart?
- Doing the deed can send a person's blood pressure and heartbeat soaring to twice their normal rates. And yes, a healthy person can have a heart attack during sex, but the risk is only about one in a million.

- Just 31%.

9. How many women were in love when they first had sex?
- A slightly higher 55%.

10. Do most people feel guilty about masturbating?
- Approximately half do. Studies show that women who masturbate are more orgasmic than women who don't. So ditch the guilt and give yourself a hand.

11. How many people masturbate at least once a week?

- About 30% of men between 25 and 40 say they come too quickly.

13. How many sperm are contained in the average ejaculation?
- Sperm count can range from as low as 40 million to more than 300 million sperm per ejaculation.

14. Are the clitoris and penis formed from the same type of tissue?
- Yes. During the first four weeks of their development, genitals exist only as a raised ridge on the embryo; during week five, distinctive sex organs start to develop out of that ridge, eventually becoming male or femalte genitalia.

15. How long is the average erect penis?
A little over 6in. But the largest erect penis ever medically verified measured 13.5in long and 6.25in around. That's enough to make you breathe a sigh of relief that your man is Mr Average.

18. How much longer does the vagina become during arousal?
- On average, it lengthens by 2in and widens by 2in. It's called the tenting effect. But you'll need a lot more tenting than this if you ever encounter that 13.5in penis...

19. Why is it that men sometimes eject a lot of semen and other times very little?
- It has absolutely nothing to do with how good they're feeling - it has everything to do with how much time has gone by since he last came. The longer the wait, the bigger the burst. On average it's around one teaspoonful at a time.

20. Is it possible for most women to achieve orgasm from intercourse alone?
- No. Studies have found that almost all women need direct or indirect clitoral stimulaiton in order to climax. Surely they didn't need research to prove that?

21. How many women claim they don't need to be touched down below to have an orgasm?
- About 5% of women say they can climax by having their breats played with, crossing their legs, or even my fantasising hands-free. What can we say? Lucky ladies...

26. How many men say they have trouble getting an erection?
- Between 7 and 10% of thirtysomething men can't keep it up. But at that age, it's probably a psychological, rather than medical problem.

These surveys are fun to sit down & discuss with your partner. Always interesting to know the points where you (and she) are in the majority or minority - and every once in a while the results elicit the reply, "I've always wanted to try . . . ".

Bliss? Haha, I remember I wanted to buy that magazine in England and I thought it was Miss Bliss or something like that...so I asked the vendor if they had "Miss Bliss" and he went like: "Lesbians?"...I started blushing and turned around to leave but he caught up with me and started saying that being gay is nothing to be ashamed of...weird Brits.
