According to the Asia-Pacific Sexual Health and Overall Wellness survey, by pharmaceutical company Pfizer, India topped the list with respondents saying they were satisfied with their sex lives while Japan reported the lowest sexual satisfaction rate at 10 per cent.
Malaysia ranked sixth among 13 countries with two out of three Malaysian men and three out of four women saying they are not happy with their sex lives.
“The Malaysian figure is higher than the overall Asia Pacific results where 57 per cent of men and 64 per cent of women reported being not very satisfied with sex,” The Star Online quoted Dr Rosie King, who led the study in the Asia Pacific region from May to July 2008, as saying.
“The survey links the level of erection hardness to sexual satisfaction for men,” said Dr King during a roundtable discussion at a hotel in Kuala Lumpur on Tuesday.

In a heart-rending incident, a young poverty-stricken single mother in Andhra Pradesh sold her newborn son to a childless couple for Rs 6,000 so that she could pay her medical bill in a Government hospital.
“My financial position is really bad,” a distraught looking Rajitha (20) who could not afford the Rs 2,000 hospital fee said from her bed at the Government area hospital in Kothagudem in Khammam district.
She delivered the baby by Caesarean section last week and the infant changed hands within 24 hours.
Police said they would take action against the hospital which also faces an inquiry whether its doctors took any money as bribe from the woman.
“Buying and selling a baby is an offence, so we will be booking cases,” Kothagudem revenue division officer P Rajaram said.
According to reports, a rickshaw driver friend gave the single mother Rs 6,000 for the baby, which he planned to bring up with his wife. The couple have no children.
The incident occurred in the parliamentary constituency of Union Minister of State for Women and Child development Renuka Chowdhury.
