Chinese urban men have sex an average of 5.2 times a month, while women have sex 3.9 times a month; But only a quarter of men and more than a fifth of women are "absolutely satisfied" and "very satisfied" with their sexual lives. This is the new information provided by the results of the Asia Pacific Sexual and Overall Health Survey released today. Professor Zhang Kai from the Institute of Urology of Peking University, who participated in the survey, said that the results of this open research on Asian male sexual health funded by Pfizer showed that in the Asia Pacific region, including Chinese Mainland, about 57 percent of men and 64 percent of women were dissatisfied with their sexual life; Sexual life satisfaction is closely related to better overall life satisfaction and physical health.
According to Professor Zhang, a survey in mainland China was conducted from May to July last year in six cities, including Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Chengdu, Shenyang, and Hangzhou. A random sampling street questionnaire was conducted in areas with high population mobility. A total of 300 men and women were collected, and error corrections were made based on Chinese standard demographic parameters.
The renowned Australian male health expert Rosie King, who presided over the survey, pointed out that the purpose of this study, known as "APSHOW", is to provide doctors and the public with a comprehensive understanding of the current true state of male health, arouse people's attention to the issue of erectile dysfunction (ED), and promote the medical community in various Asian countries to seek solutions.
She proposed that the biggest difference between this study and other epidemiological studies on ED is that it has been confirmed that men's inability to obtain satisfactory erectile stiffness can also seriously affect the quality of life of couples and families. Whether male or female, if erectile stiffness satisfaction is high, sexual life satisfaction and satisfaction with all aspects of sexual experience are also high, and overall health is good; Men with poor erectile stiffness not only have less sexual activity, lower satisfaction with sexual activity, but also have lower motivation for overall life.
"The results of the study indicate that erectile dysfunction is not only an important factor affecting sexual life, marriage, and family, but also has a wide range of negative effects on the quality of life and overall life status of patients."
Guo Yinglu, an academician of the CAE Member and a famous andrology expert, attended the symposium and made a report on drug safety issues related to the mixed situation in the current anti ED drug market.
