Filipino Women Prefer Food More than Sex

It has been discovered that women in the Philippines, Southeast Asia lay more emphases on the food they eat even above sexual life.

In a recent survey conducted by the government in Manila, the state capital, it’s found that the women folk consider food higher than their sex life when putting into consideration the main things that bring them joy.

Speaking on the survey, the Secretary-General, National Statistical Coordination Board Romulo Virola said that it’s also an obvious fact that both Filipino men and women ranked family, health and religion in that order as the three most important things that make them happy.

He noted that female respondents, however, put food in fifth place, just ahead of work adding that love life came 10th while sex life is put at 18th, just one rank above the bottom adding that this can lead to trouble and that for men, love life figured in 6th place and sex life 10th, with food at 9th.

"This is easy to trivialize, but the unmet expectations for love and sex by either partner can surely lead to problems, and must be managed properly and professionally," Virola stated.

He continued: “For the Philippine poor, the survey found that men ranked their sex, love lives and food at the top while women said family, love life and food were top of their lists.”

He noted that in the four months since Benigno Aquino became President of the Philippines, the impoverished country's population has grown by about 600,000, the fastest rate of increase in Southeast Asia.

According to Virola, it now stands at around 94 million and that there have been calls to increase access to contraception in the devoutly Catholic nation. “The non-random 2010 poll covered 356 respondents in two Manila districts, a nearby province, staff of two government offices and one private firm.”
