I never really understand surveys. They always seem like they hold more secrets then they reveal. So today’s Pfizer news about sex habits around the world and how often Israelis have sex on Ynet today bothers me. We seem to have sex a lot, but we say it’s not enough. I think that when the surveys are local, like this one we come off better.
So sex is the least of our problems. That’s a small comfort.
Actually we have our finger on the pulse all the time on this subject. Whenever something important happens, there’s a sex survey to see how we react. In the Gulf war almost 2 decades ago, there were strong indications of impotence (totally parallel to the feeling of not being able to do anything about being bombed). After the first Lebanon war there was a baby boomlet. etc. etc. etc. In other words, our intimate lives are determined by Iran, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Gaza, etc.
And I’m sure the Palestinians react similarly.
