Of sex and Malaysians
posted in - Fraud watch, - Palmdoc, - Sexuality |Another useless sex survey reported in the NST. If you believe it, then Malaysians are in a very sorry state as far as sex is concerned.
Four in 10 men cannot achieve a full erection while three in 10 women in Malaysia professed to wanting better sex. This is revealed in a survey conducted by pharmaceutical company Pfizer Inc.
The survey also showed that 62 per cent of men and 73 per cent of women respondents were less than very or completely satisfied with sex.
The survey was conducted in 13 Asia Pacific countries.
A total of 102 men and 100 women in Malaysia responded to the survey online from May to July last year.
So it seems that 4/10 Malaysian men are “tofu” going by their erectile quality scale
“We can say that grade one is only as hard as tofu, followed by peeled banana and unpeeled banana, while grade four is as hard as cucumber,” she said to the laughter of those present.
But wait. Look at the sample size. 102 men and 100 women. That’s a pathetically small sample indeed. Moreover it was an online survey and that would skew the real picture further.
So please spare us this ridiculous data and if you want to do a study, do a proper one.
On a related note, it seems that our neighbours south faced an unusual outbreak of hypoglycaemia attributable to so called “herbal sexual enhancing products” which actually contained glyburide as an “ingredient”. This was reported in the Feb 12 issue of the NEJM
Between January 1 and May 26, 2008, a total of 150 nondiabetic patients with severe hypoglycemia were admitted to the five public hospitals in Singapore. All the patients except one were men, and they ranged in age from 19 to 97 years (median, 51). Seven patients remained comatose as a result of prolonged neuroglycopenia, and four subsequently died.
Glyburide was detected in blood or urine samples obtained from 127 of these patients (85%). On specific questioning, 45 patients (30%) admitted ingesting illegal sexual-enhancement drugs before the onset of hypoglycemia. Drug samples obtained from these patients and from drugs seized in police raids were analyzed by means of high-performance liquid chromatography. Four preparations were contaminated with glyburide in amounts ranging from 13 to 100 mg per tablet (Figure 1A). These drugs included a counterfeit of Cialis (tadalafil) and three herbal preparations for the purported treatment of erectile dysfunction (Power 1 Walnut, Santi Bovine Penis Erecting Capsule, and Zhong Hua Niu Bian).3 All four products also contained sildenafil in amounts ranging from 0.5 to 110.0 mg per tablet. Santi Bovine Penis Erecting Capsule and Zhong Hua Niu Bian also contained trace amounts of tadalafil and sibutramine.
4 people actually died!! I think people should take heed and not consume these products. You have been warned yet again!!
