Sex in Singapore City

Sometimes, just sometimes, you wonder if we spend too much time thinking about sex.

The Durex survey places Singapore at the bottom rung - second from bottom, to be exact - in a worldwide survey of 41 countries. Singaporeans only have make love an average of 73 times a year, says Durex.

I refuse to believe the figures.

Go to Joo Chiat, Geylang or even Changi Village on any given night. One look at the action there and you know Singaporeans do not have a limp sex drive. The streets are packed with revellers looking for a wild night of sex in the nearest budget hotel!

Worst, guess who’s last on the survey?

Japan.

No… you have got to be kidding.

No joke. 41 out of 41 countries. Right at the end. Rock bottom. LAST!!!

Japan??? Have you seen the amount of pornography that comes out from there? With so much porn, a thriving industry, the cutest girls in the world, hentai anime and what-else-have-you, how do Japanese only have sex an average of 45 times annually?

Surely something must be wrong with the research methodology!

On the other end of the sexually-active spectrum, is the United States. The US is not on top - that honour goes to Greece, which topped the poll with 138 romps a year - but Americans obviously think of sex quite a bit, if this MSNBC article is to be believed.

A Seattle man died after engaging in anal sex with a horse at a farm suspected of being a gathering place for people seeking to have sex with livestock, police said Friday.

The horse involved in the incident was not harmed, and an autopsy of the unnamed man concluded that “the manner of death was accidental … due to perforation of the colon,” a police spokesman said.

“The information that we have is that people would find this place via chat rooms on the Web,” said Sgt. John Urquhart of the King County Sheriff’s Department.

Hmmm… Questions, questions, questions… Have we gone sex crazy?

What Time Is It?

Maybe it’s the effect of too many beers. Why do many Singaporeans think that Tiger Beer is inferior to alcohol from foreign lands?

Owned by Asia Pacific Breweries, Tiger recently won the Wine & Spirit International Beer Challenge Silver Medal (Premium Lager), and the World Beer Cup Gold Medal (European-Style Pilsener) in 2004.

Today, it is supported by 22 breweries in nine countries including Singapore, Malaysia, Vietnam, Cambodia, China, Thailand, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea and Sri Lanka, and slurped up bymillions of drinkers in over 60 countries worldwide.

Tiger was also named a CoolBrand in the UK this year, for the second year running, amongst the galore of well-known brands.

Stephen Cheliotis, Chairman of the CoolBrands Council, says: “Tiger Beer is renowned as one of Asia’s finest exports, successfully expanding from one market to over sixty in a short space of time, largely due to its preceding reputation as a distinctive high quality brand. Achieving such status with little promotion sets Tiger Beer at a level above its rivals, as word of mouth about the brands inherent raises it above its peers. Tiger Beer has proven its strength, not only by winning a string of awards for its unique taste, but also by remaining at the forefront of Asian culture.”

Ok, so it’s damn good. So why don’t Singaporeans think so?

After all, Tiger has even engaged Jessica Alba to front its latest TVC!

Yes, this Jessica Alba!

Jessica Alba - new Tiger girl

So why? Just what is wrong? Is it the taste? Is it true the potentially malicious rumours/fiction/truth/whatever that all the premium grade beer is exported out, and poor Singaporeans are left with lower-grade alcohol to water our taste-buds?

I think i know the problem.

Jessica Alba is super hot, no doubt. But she does not exactly represent a Singapore brand.

But what we really need is Fiona Xie, Michelle Chia, Samantha Tan and Ezann Lee as Tiger girls!

Just the thought is making me thirsty. Give this man a Tiger!

Is Drinking Beer Good for you ?

These days, it seems relatively easy to contract cancer. Personally, I have known many people who have contracted the disease. With such ease in contracting cancer, one should look for ways to try and prevent it all together. It seems that beer has some cancer preventing properties.

Researchers at Oregon State University discovered a anti-cancer compound in beer. This compound found only in hops and the main product they are used in - beer - has rapidly gained interest as a micronutrient that might help prevent many types of cancer. The researchers first discovered the cancer-related properties of this flavonoid compound called xanthohumol about 10 years ago.

“Xanthohumol is one of the more significant compounds for cancer chemoprevention that we have studied,” said Fred Stevens, a researcher with OSU’s Linus Pauling Institute and an assistant professor of medicinal chemistry in the College of Pharmacy. “The published literature and research on its properties are just exploding at this point, and there’s a great deal of interest.”

What if you found out your partner was a Porn Star ?

This question just came across my mind. I was wondering: how many of you would mind if your life partner used to be a porn star ?

Here is the scenario : You are married happily for 5 years, when one day your colleague comes to you and says “Hey, I saw your partner on a porn video” and shows you the video of your partner having a great time in the film.

After some investigation, you find out the film was made before you got to know your partner, and that your partner has stopped being a porn star after knowing you, but he/she didn’t tell you about his/her past.

What would your reaction be after such a find? And how would you react if it was you would was in the movie?

For me, I am not sure what I would do in the given situation. My conclusion would be to come clean before you get married. This would help lessen any unwelcoming situations.

Sex With Minors - Survey!

Sex with a minor. It’s a raw topic that burns on my mind as it does the loins of some others (notice i’m not naming names). And that’s the premise of this survey: you can be brutally honest. We don’t know who you are, and we won’t care to find out. All we want is to seek the truth: would you have sex with a 15-year-old?

So now, get off your moral high-horse, and answer these 7 quick questions!

Sex With Minors

1. Your age? (required)

2. Your gender? (required)

3. When did you first engage in sexual activities? (required)

4. Have you ever engaged in sexual activities with a minor? (required)

5. What is your view on sex with minors? (Tick where applicable) (required)

It’s perfectly normal; there’s nothing wrong with it.
The legal age should be lowered
It’s against my morals.
Minors should be protected by the law.
It’s plain sick!

6. If the opportunity to be involved in sexual intercourse with a minor presents itself, with assurance that you will not get in trouble with the law, would you jump at the chance? (required)

7. Spill your thoughts on underaged sex!
