VietNamNet Bridge – Up to 54 percent of women who participated
in a recent survey on sex said they were not interested in sex while the rate
is 31 percent for men. However, most of them said they did nothing to deal with
this. Only six percent consulted doctors.
This is the results of a survey
on Vietnamese family health, which was made public on August 10, at the second
national conference on sex.
The survey was conducted by the
Institute for Social Development, with the participation of over 5,300 people
at the age of 18 to 65, in the three big cities of Hanoi, HCM City, Da Nang,
and eight provinces representing eight geographic regions in Vietnam.
According to the survey, only 55
percent of the interviewees said they were satisfied with their sex life. The
rate of men is higher than women. Notably, over 7 percent of them said they had
never been satisfied with sex. Most of them were women.
Over 53 percent of participants
said that the goal of sex is to maintain human race. Only 11 percent of men and
4 percent of women said having sex to have pleasant feeling.
Dr. Khuat Thu Hong, director of
the Institute for Social Development, said that for Vietnamese people, sex is
closely linked with marriage and family, to have baby. It means that sex is
related to responsibility to the community rather than individuals.
Owing to this conception, women’s
sex is closely controlled and same sex is seen as wrong and unacceptable.
There is a fact that many
Vietnamese face problems in sexual health but they do not seek help from
experts.
Dr. Hong said that the reason of
this situation is many Vietnamese people still thought that sex is not
important. Seeking money is more important than sex. Moreover, sex is a
sensitive topic in Vietnam.
Another reason is the lack of
reproductive health services.
The survey also shows that nearly
80 percent of participants had only one sex partner while nearly 6 percent said
they had at least three sex partners.
The highest number of sex
partners is 200, disclosed by a man.
