Most men admit they're only so-so in bed

NEW YORK (Wireless Flash) -- A new survey of American men may be a letdown for American women.

According to a survey of men's sexual habits conducted by "Men's Fitness" magazine, nearly 52 percent of guys describe their performance in bed as only "adequate."

It gets worse...

-- 15 percent of men admit they're "below average" in bed.

-- 16 percent say they're terrible at "meeting their partners' emotional needs."

-- 12 percent of American men masturbate at least once a day.

-- 5 percent do it two times a day or more.

The complete survey results will appear in the "Men's Fitness" book "Total Sex: Complete Guide To Everything Men Need To Know And Want To Know About Sex" (Harper Resource).

Shame

I was suprised by these...did they mention the ages of the men that answered the questions? This is what I think...
probably true

Im sure this should be much higher.

See and I would have guess it was about 50 to 75 percent...

...which suggests that 35% don't even know / acknowledge that they're below average?

I think the answers people give in such surveys never reflect the actual truth. Men's perceptions of their own abilities in this area. are very often underestimated. Probably cos men don't really talk about such stuff with their mates and all they here is the bragging of the "studs" in their peer-group. This may lead to them perceiving their own performance as inadequate.

Or it could just be that Americans really are lousy in bed.

Could be why the American girls come to Europe

So, 12% admit they are wankers.. What %age are Liars?

88%?

Need to check with the Grammar Police (BD?) but I think that should be come IN Europe... Ahem

This is only material for someone's doctoral thesis. All's I can say is I think OG is very much onto something. Most of the time, men don't talk about this shit, except to brag. And in my own personal experience, the ones doing the most bragging are the ones that are most likely to get a serious slanging from the other side of the gender divide. That would suggest that most men who know fuck all about it are keeping quiet.

And why the hell not? Still, I think men's perception of their own bodies a vastly under-explored area of human knowledge. All most people know is that, to hear it, there isn't a man alive carrying less than 7 inches...and in terms of banter, that inch thing is pretty much the full extent of any measuring they do. Oh, that and how many humans it's been in. Both measures being absolute bollocks.

But...something tells me this is not the best possible venue to get properly stuck into my views on this manner in...

Don't confuse people with logic.

I never understand why men think the onus is only on them to be good in bed, as far as I'm concerned if you're having bad sex it's your own damn fault. In my opinion the only thing that makes anyone bad in bed is lack of communicating one's desires or in rare cases poorly matched sexual appetites.

Skill has very little to do with anything.

What about if you communicate your desires, but your bloke won't do it for you?

I think that would be considered a skill.
That he actually listens to your suggestions and tries them out.

Hence, they admit they don't have skills because they don't listen.

(the boys in the survey that is)

pardon?

Welcome to Binsville. Population: You.

Not skill, so much as comfort with one's own body, I'd think.

Needa go watch The Full Monty again, I think...

"Just think of the most boring thing you can come up with. That should keep it well in order."

"Like what? Double glazing salesmen?"

"Gardening. The Queen's speech. Dire Straits' double album. Nature programs."

"I like nature programs."

"Aye, but they don't give you a hard-on, do they? Do they? Blimey, Gerald."

Then it's a matter of compromise. Do you have to have all your needs met all the time? Does he? I don't think that's possible so it becomes a matter of finding a mutually agreeable compromise.

Can this be moved to adult chat? I don't want to offend anyone.

i agree, it's probably more adult chat

like - 'you hold my beer and keep your head out of the way of the telly, and then maybe I'll let you have sex with me.'

do we have any testimonies from the american males on the forum, or any girlies/blokes who've been with american men?

That sounds about right

What the hell would such a testimonial consist of? I mean, really, what could an American guy possibly say about this that wouldn't be occasion for a thorough piss-taking?

I know!!! and me say bring it on!!! (work's a bit quiet today...)

These surveys are all bullshit anyway - Topsy posted one that said that French have the longest penises (on average) - what a crock of shit - I'm no expert, but I'd have thought that most of Africa has the French well and truly beaten into a cocked hat...

tho I can imagine the French having the dirtiest crustiest penises as they never wash.

Well, moonboot, the best I can offer you from these quarters is that I have a reputation for being a very cunning linguist.

Go on, then.

Where did you see that thread???

well, there are a lot of blokes from Africa who emigrated to France - maybe they upped the average a bit?

for the record, I've only ever slept with one American bloke, and he was RUBBISH. hehehehe

Well, interestingly enough I stumbled across a website dispelling diddle myths, I will try and refind it again and post the link, it was all very scientific and all.
It stated that african men on average have a smaller erect dongs than that of european men, however they do generally have a larger flacid whanger which is assumed where the idea the African chaps are better hung came from.

@topsy,

must agree with you here. slept with one as well. would have had more fun going to the dentist

Why, was he good in bed?

Well their drills usually aren't very big but the level of vibration is well humming, and of course they always let you rinse your mouth afterwards.

Obviously prefers her men to shove things in her mouth...

They tried doing this survey with British women a while back but gave up after 99% checked the box "I don't remember".

Sounds true - if on average is taken to mean that their penises are longer for a larger proportion of their lives, because they've always got at least a semi-hard-on due to being surrounded by birds talking french all day.

I suppose somebody should speak up for the American guys. I've slept with several American men, ages ranging from 18-40- and I experienced just about everything. I mean, from truly horrible to absolutely fantastic. But most of them were pretty good. They made the effort anyway.

here's the article for those who didn't see it the first time
the statistics come from a company that specialise in penis enlargement, btw, so probably best to take it with a huge pinch of salt

so they put the beer can down and turned down the volume of the football game! pansies.

experienced?
