The other good news is that now you know where and with whom you are more likely to receive the most satisfying embrace. Thank the recession for the former, and a survey carried out by the global research site OnePoll.com for the latter.

Really? Who would have thought? Seriously, aren't those countries known for their progressive sexual appetites? Does He Finish Too Soon? It May Not Be His Fault.
"These results," said a spokesperson for OnePoll.com, "are an eye-opener for thousands of men around the world and female travelers might judge potential new lovers by looking at these results."
