Some 450 men and women were interviewed for a study commissioned by the Pfizer pharmaceuticals company and conducted by the Geocartagraphy Marketing Institute. Among other things, they were asked to name their favorite places to have sex.
A quarter of the women said on the beach, one-tenth said on a mountaintop and 6 percent said they would like to try sex on an airplane.
What about frequency?
More than a third of the women polled said they have sex at least three times a week, and 27 percent said they invest more than 30 minutes in lovemaking. Surprisingly, 39 percent of the women said they "didn't know" what foreplay is or that they weren't interested. The other 61 percent believe that foreplay is necessary.
A similar number of women said that pleasing themselves was more important than pleasing their partner. Nice to know that 84 percent of the men said pleasing their partners was important.
Do women expect gifts from their partners?
Just over half the women like it if their men arrive with a bouquet of flowers. Only seven percent said they expected jewelry and six percent said they would not do with less than a holiday.
The survey found that in relationships, trust is the most important quality for more than a third of the women. Trust won out over love (12 percent) and honesty (11 percent).
