Latest TODAY column: More ranking blues
I actually wanted to call this piece "We suck at sex", but I guess cannot lah. Wait kena comprain.
Excerpt:
In the 2005 Durex Global Sex Survey, Singapore came in second last out of 41 countries. Japan was last.
Hooray! We beat Japan! Woohoo! Positive spin, people, positive spin. We don't want any of that divisive stuff getting the people down and all, do we?
But euphoria aside, I would like to question the basis of this ranking! What was the methodology used to measure frequency of sex? Could it be that Singapore's Frequency of Sex was measured through the standards of Western liberalism?
