[...] Survey: Korean Women Have Low Sex Drives [...]

I’d say the men are likewise suffering from a low female sex drive.

Now I know why all the guys on Korean messages boards whine so much! Haha

Maybe it’s because the Korean boys are a bit too pretty, eh?

The greatest benefit I’ve gotten from living in other cultures is a better ability to see things from someone else’s point of view, and at least understand why they think as they do even if I don’t agree. Maybe that’s why I’ve never had too many fights with my wife.

The reasons that the women cited for their low sex drives included a low number of sexual experiences, depression, having experienced sexual abuse or harassment, and difficulty urinating.

It’s no secret that women generally require more of an emotional connection to their partner than men do for sexual arousal.

Unfortunately, the traditional, patriarchal Korean culture is not well known for fostering marriages that place an emphasis on the wife’s satisfaction and emotional well-being.

Take, for instance, the semi-annual rituals of female torture known as “Chuseok” and “Lunar New Year”. I have yet to meet a Korean man who – besides the driving – is unhappy with those holidays and I’ve also yet to meet a Korean woman – besides girls maybe – who are the least bit happy with those torture periods.

It’s even more amazing how completely ignorant most Korean men are of the suffering of their wives – especially if they are the oldest are only son – during those holidays. Damn. I’d slit my wrists if I was a Korean women before suffering under not only sleep deprivation and manual labor, but also the stream of “constructive” criticism lobbed my way by my in-laws, for which my husband would brush of as “being helpful” while he lounged around stuffing himself, getting drunk, playing cards, and calling for more drinks and snacks – ARRGGH !!

With that said, there are always exceptions to the rule. Also, in general, I believe, the younger generation of Korean women are getting more of what they want and younger Korean men are listening to their wives and girlfriends better than ever. This observation is based upon mainly anecdotal evidence of my familiarity of older and younger Korean couples.

Finally, I’ll add that one Korean guy I know – who was never really taught to think about his wife felt – instantly got dramatically better results when he took my advice and simply listened to her side of an argument rather than stonewalling her. He’s a very nice guy, it’s just that he’d seriously never been taught or told (often enough) how to effectively communicate with women in general.

Note to self : I need to go home and treat my (American) wife better ;-)

Hey there, livinginkorea,

that’s not the most intelligent or helpful thing you could have said.

Would you like to read the last paragraph in this article and try again?

And if you still don’t get it, then please consider the fact that in that last paragraph, there are four symptoms listed, and only one possible cause.

To put it more simply for you:
low sex drive, a low number of sexual experiences, depression, and difficulty urinating are all common symptoms resulting from sexual abuse.

Men are also victims of sexual abuse and harassment. Women also read this board.

So, please, try again, and, try posting something more constructive. It doesn’t have to be an attempt at humour.

Relax Jatin.. More negativity won’t solve the problem. Also, I asked a legitimate question, so refrain from using the word “everyone.”

McWorm, relax. and yes, let’s look at the reasons in the last paragraph. Difficulty urinating is a reason for low sex drive… What the hell does that mean?

i love how everyone here is quick to make the same dumb comments. How about you take it for what it is and not try too hard to find a connection with Korea being “foreign” to your eyes and being “so different” is that why you guys came here? to bring along ur ignorant “things back home is so much better” mentality? idiots i swear.

I dont think that this is true, I live in Korea and have slept with 100′s of girls. This is just a case of poor Korean journalism. Though mind you, most of this was only 1 time and most never called me back. This could then be led to the fact that I am a lousy lover with an extraordinary skill of looking like every hollywood movie star from Brad Pitt to Danny Devito.

Gary Busey-Thats funny!!

Think that hitest goes a bit too far, but makes a valid point: why bother getting excited for lousy sex? Almost Pavlovian. IMHO, most Korean men need to take basic course in kama sutra. My sex drive is just fine and dandy – only lacking suitable partners!

Well, what the hell do you expect when you gotta work your ass off from dawn till late evening every day and still have to worry about upsetting your boss? Check out this little shocker from chosun.com’s editorial page:

예컨대 내가 면접을 본 업체는 정규근무시간이 아침 6시부터 저녁 11시까지고 입사 후 5년 동안은 월급이 45만원이라고 했다. 4대 보험 등의 혜택도 없었다. 또한 6개월간의 수습기간은 20만원을 받고 휴일 없이 출퇴근할 것을 요구했다.

I dunno about you, but in this sort of work environment, I would be much too depressed for my precious little member to be eager at pleasing the wife.

Well I’ll be damned…….

40% seems a little high to me… I wonder if this survey only included women who were currently in a sexual relationship, or if singles were were also questioned…?

I know… I know… Singles have sex drives, too. However, I wish that they would have made the distinction in the article because I think most single people are sad/upset that they are missing out on the action and would claim to have a low sex drive as a result.

“The reasons that the women cited for their low sex drives included a low number of sexual experiences, depression, having experienced sexual abuse or harassment, and difficulty urinating.”

Considering the male attitude in Korea, it’s quite understandable why this is happening. Poor korean women.

Then, the korean guys get angry to foreigners when they treat korean women well and date/marry them. If the locals were a little more sensitive (not pinky girly) and treated women well, situation could be better. Just compare to other countries where men treat women better…

I don’t have any trouble pleasing my Korean woman. Perhaps she likes it that I treat her like a human being.
