Why Kiwi women are world's most promiscuous

Wellington, March 14 (ANI): Kiwi women are the most sexually experienced in the world, thanks to the nation's blokes.

A global survey on market research website onepoll.com has revealed that New Zealand women are the most promiscuous in the world, with an average of 20.4 sexual partners in a lifetime, more than any other nationality.

And sexologist Dr Michelle Mars puts the result down to the failings of Kiwi blokes.

"New Zealand men aren't very good at picking up women unless they're really drunk. So what tends to happen is in New Zealand, women are just as likely to ask men to have sex as men are to ask women," New Zealand Herald quoted her as saying.

"While a lot of people would read that statistic quite negatively, I think it's quite a positive. It's more of a gender balance in people getting the kind of sex they want," she added.

Former gossip columnist Bridget Saunders thinks New Zealand women are 'incredibly sexually active' and is worried by the trend.

"A lot of it is to do with the new 'ladette' culture. It's almost like wanting to be one of the boys, or to be more like one of the boys than the boys are themselves," Saunders said. (ANI)
