Sydney: A new survey has revealed that Aussies are among the world’s most undersexed people along with those from Japan, US and Nigeria.

According to that Durex Sexual Wellbeing study conducted over 26,000 people, Aussies are among the least sexed individuals with 60 per cent of Australians having weekly sex.

Japan fared the worst with just 34 per cent of its population having sex at least once a week while US and Nigeria stood on the second last spot.

The nations to score the most in the bedroom included Greeks with 87 per cent of surveyed had weekly sex followed by Brazil with 82 per cent and Russia with 80 per cent.

However, while the majority of the world’s population experienced sex as “fun, enjoyable and a vital part of life”, but a few were actually satisfied.

The findings revealed that only 44 per cent of those surveyed were “fully satisfied” with their sex lives and only 48 per cent said they “usually” had orgasms.

“Our findings suggest that achieving sexual satisfaction starts from your first sexual experience,” News.com.au quoted the Durex spokesperson, as saying.

“37 per cent agree that their sex life has been positively affected by their first sexual experience,” the spokesperson added.
