dear cyber-siblings i know this has nothing specifically to do with pd per my subject header, but i couldn't resist your cyber-sibling janet ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Sex poll shows Americans would rather shop free ----------------------------------------------------------------------- MIAMI (October 28, 1997 01:22 a.m. EST http://www.nando.net) - Sex beats riding the space shuttle or being president for a day, but half of all Americans would rather go on a free shopping spree, a survey published on Tuesday showed. Americans love to make love -- they are edged out only by the French in the 14-nation survey. But when asked to choose between sex and an unlimited shopping spree on someone else's gold credit card, 57 percent of American women found the latter option more appealing. For men it was 42 percent, giving a full 50 percent across the sexes who would rather be shopping, the survey said. British-owned condom manufacturer Durex asked 1,055 U.S. men and women aged over 18 to talk about sex-related issues as part of a survey of almost 10,000 people in 14 countries. The U.S. part of the survey found that more than half of Americans would rather make love than be a guest on the next space shuttle, and 50 percent would rather make love than be president of the United States for a day. Among other findings, the survey said 71 percent of American men were satisfied with the size of their partner's breasts and 73 percent were happy with the size of their own sexual organ. By contrast 57 percent of U.S. women were happy with their own breast size and 58 percent were satisfied with the size of their partner's sexual organ. Only a minority would resort to the knife to change things, though. The survey said 20 percent of American men would choose to have their partner's breasts surgically enlarged and 18 percent would have their own sexual organ enhanced. It found that 19 percent of women would have their breasts enlarged but only 10 percent were interested in having their man's sexual organ enlarged. The global poll found that Americans were making love an average 148 times a year in 1997, second only to the French who averaged 151 times. In the world's sexual fantasies, though, American Hollywood stars ended up on top. The survey found that worldwide, 45 percent of women thought Tom Cruise would be best in bed. For men around the world, Demi Moore was the fantasy figure of choice, polling 38 percent.
