The
India Today Group-MDRA Sex Survey, the only study of its sort, is
entering its eleventh edition. After a hiatus of 10 years, it has once
again probed shades of female sexual experience. And the response of
over 4,000 women and men, from across 19 cities, calls for a
re-examination of all that we thought we knew about female libido.
It's time to break old stereotypes. The rule of thumb in the politics of
mating has always been that men are naughty by nature while women need
to be coaxed into sex. But in our survey this year, there's no Mars and
Venus in the bedroom: If 64 per cent men insist on having sex despite a
reluctant partner, 60 per cent women also do so. Here's another measure
for pleasure: If 91 per cent men find sexual encounters joyful, so do 90
per cent women. The number of women who found fulfilment in sex was
just 54 per cent in our 2003 survey.
