Sex around the world
A study published in the April issue of something called the Archives of Sexual Behavior has shown that out of folks in the 29 countries surveyed, Austrians are most satisfied with their sex lives. And the Japanese apparently are the least happy with the whoopee being made (or not made) in the Land of The Rising Sun.
Americans, by the way, are pretty pleased with the way things are going in the boudoir. We come in at No. 5 on the list.
The author of the study reaches the conclusion that sexual satisfaction is highest in cultures where men and women have relationships based on gender equality, rather than on, well, whatever else you could base such a relationship on, or at least what a lot of Japanese base theirs on.
Apart from the question of what the Austrians (and the Spanish and the Canadians and the Belgians) have on us, I'd say the conclusion is pretty obvious. Let me use a Biblical metaphor: If you and your partner are on the mountaintop, ready to enter the Promised Land, and one of you consistently runs ahead to get there first ... well, let's just say that, over time, you're both going to spend 40 years in the wilderness.

Leave it once again to Michael, to bring the libido into the realms of literary and journalistic respectability, throwing in a biblical metaphor or two to boot!
