BRIT MEN TOP FOR FOREPLAY

CONTRARY to popular belief, British men are actually wonderful lovers and devote the most time to foreplay,

That's not contrary to any belief that I know ;)

according to a survey out yesterday.
They spend an average of 17.44 minutes on foreplay, topping Aussies (17.2), Germans (16.92) and Mexicans (16.91), according to the poll for Men's Health magazine.

Now being a Statistician I am always interested in how you conduct surveys. So how would they have done this? By Experiment? Would they have snuck into bedroom with stop watches? Or perhaps women would actually send off for a 'Foreplay timing kit'. "Okay Barry, start .... NOW!"

Or perhaps they just did a survey. but would they ask Men or women? I am thinking that Men may give an overestimation of the time, whereas Women would be slightly less generous. Or perhaps they asked both men and women and struck a happy middle ground. Ironically enough 'Striking a happy middle ground' is part of my preferred technique ;)

But where does the 17.44 minutes go? I am assuming they are taking into account the time it takes to turn the Telly off, close the curtains, remove the socks, bursh the teeth (If you're lucky) wipe the crumbs off the mattress, pick the fluff from the bully button and sniff the armpits. That takes about fifteen minutes (What d'you mean that's not how it's done 8| )

Disappointingly for women, British men said they only lasted 18.6 minutes from foreplay to climax, five less than Mexican men. But magazine editor Morgan Rees said: "Brits are better in bed than most."

I wonder if Morgan was actually misquoted.. or perhaps they left off the last word. See if you can finish it off.
"Brits are better in bed than most______________"

I'm thinking 'sloths' :DD
Sminchin thinks 'Tortoises'
KayM82 thinks 'crocodiles' ... I spot a cold blooded reptilian theme coming across from the women :))
