Germans Can't Get No ...
Germans Can't Get No ... Deutsche Welle September 22, 2005 Italians do it. Greeks do it. Even Germans do it -- just not as often. When it comes to making sweet, sweet love, men and women from the Teutonic north are -- it seems -- not as needy as their European neighbors in the south, according to a survey by the consumer group GfK in Nuremberg. One in every five of the 916 Germans surveyed said they are satisfied if they have sex less than once a week. A full 28 percent think that once a week is good enough. And although 37 percent say they need a little lovin' twice a week, they pale in comparison to the 18,000 other people surveyed in the rest of Europe and the United States. One in two outside Germany needs it at least twice a week. So what does this tell us? It could tell us that the Germans are merely more truthful when it comes to answering sex survey questions. One in every four Greeks, for example, say they aren't satisfied unless they have sex at least five times a week -- something anyone who's lived through a sweltering summer in a country with more than its fair share of malfunctioning air conditioning systems finds hard to believe. But, if taken with another nugget of data provided by the GfK researchers, the need for less sex is quite simple. Like the Dutch and the Belgians, Germans don't think much of their domestic lovers. Only 15 percent say the best sex to be had is in-country. The overwhelming majority believe Italy is the place for foreign affairs. And 69 percent of the Italians, by the way, agree. [source]

However, I must also say that past a certain degree of heat, the libido falls dramatically. At least in my experience.

Re: Germans Can't Get No ...
Yes. But it's different in sub-tropical areas. There it is not the heat per se, but humidity that makes it unbearable.

Re: Germans Can't Get No ...
It's best in cold climates. There's no better way to heat up.
Actually, sunlight seems to have a positive effect on libido. Even on a sunny, summers day here one starts to feel a bit frisky. It also might partly explain why northern Europeans apparently go sex-mad when holidaying in sunnier climes......although copious amounts of alcohol might also be a contributing factor

Re: Germans Can't Get No ...
Well.. I'd say that the best hour for the libido in warm countries and during the Summer is midday. For cold countries and in the Winter is early in the morning.
And for alcoholics, it is also best in the morning.. when the effect of alcohol has diminished and the chances for a successful performance increase.

Sex is work and work sucks. Period.

Re: Germans Can't Get No ...
Phlegethon, you say that because you must not be aware of the new trends.

Re: Germans Can't Get No ...
Research is gay. Knowledge is cool.

Re: Germans Can't Get No ...
Knowledge comes through research. Then, knowledge is gay?

Re: Germans Can't Get No ...
I think that I'll stop drawing implications at this point. But you must know that you lost the round.
