More On Pfizer’s Better Sex Survey
Start
More details of the results of the Pfizer Global Better Sex Survey are being revealed and Ukmedix has previously reported on the fact that Malaysia scored the worst for the average amount of sexual encounters monthly. The response to the fact they came last in the survey has been an outpouring of news articles on sexual satisfaction and erectile dysfunction in the Malaysian press.
The survey done in Malaysia was carried out by local representatives of Pfizer that manufacturer of Viagra and one of the questions asked was whether the hardness of an erection mattered to women when sexual satisfaction was at stake and the vast majority of women and men said it did. Those men and women who said that they were satisfied with erection hardness tended to say that they were satisfied with their sex lives overall and it was also noted that if the erection hardness could be sustained for a long time then the woman was likely to be more satisfied.
Erections can be graded into four distinct categories and they are classified as follows. Grade One is when the penis is larger than normal but not hard. Grade Two is when penis is harder but not sufficiently hard for penetration. Grade Three is when the penis is just hard enough to penetrate but not at its hardest. And finally Grade Four is a completely hard and rigid penis.
These gradings are used by doctors and researchers to evaluate the level of erectile dysfunction in men. For example Grade One is termed as severe erectile dysfunction and Grade Three is mild erectile dysfunction. All men aspire to getting a Grade Four erection for a long period of time and women are very observant as to the hardness of an erection especially as their pleasure is so dependent on it.
On the whole Malaysian men in the Pfizer Better Sex Survey said that they thought that the ability to maintain an erection was their responsibility and not the woman’s and women felt the same way too. However 26% of men said that the woman had some degree of responsibility for erections and 31% of women were concerned that sometimes it could be their fault too.
