Visitors to Australia are inundated by every means of communication that Australians live for sex, do nothing but have sex, and are great sexual athletes. You get this picture that if you’re not doing it the next minute, then you’re a weakling, a nobody, or it must be that you can’t get it up.

A recent Australian study showed that 90% of Oz men say their sex is good while 79% of Oz women say their sex is good. That means more than 20% of the Sheilas are not enjoying sex.

Why are Oz women not enjoying their sex?

According to the researchers on Aussie sex, “The script for having sex is heavily intercourse-based and it doesn’t necessarily do a lot for women, …. there is a lot of bludging from blokes out there” and “very few men say intercourse hurts them but about 20% of women are getting hurt during sex. They are wincing, biting their lip and saying nothing”. Looks like Ozzie blokes take women for granted after being nice and gentle the first time out. Once they’ve shagged her, she’s just a piece of equipment for use when convenient. That’s why “sex is better for men in established relationships while women get more satisfaction in new liaisons”.

Five times as many Aussie women as men complained about regularly not reaching orgasm because climaxing too quickly is the most common problem of Ozzie men. As a result Sheila is left high and dry. The women turn to each other and “…found that they are more likely to orgasm in encounters with female partners….” Another interesting finding was that “Bisexual and lesbian women have 3 times as many male partners as heterosexual women , before deciding sex with men is really not for them”.

As a result, one third women admitted masturbating while two out of three blokes masturbate. And they do so more than once a week. So much for the great Ozzie lover.

So what's the deal, mate?
Singapore and Australia are edging closer to an open-skies agreement. SIA could then fly direct from Australia to the US. But what's in it for you? Frequent flyer Skip Hopper explains to ALVIN CHIANG
G'DAY, mates.
I'm Skip Hopper.
Just call me Skip, mate.
Business takes me hopping all around the world.
And guess what I like about Singapore?
You've got Foster's.
I'm a fair dinkum Aussie.
So why am I all for open skies between Singapore and Australia?
Because our sheilas will have to match the Singapore Girl.
And we won't have to pay through the nose to fly.
A Sydney-Los Angeles return ticket costs $1,099, according to the Qantas website.
United Airlines is the only other carrier flying direct between Australia and the US.
But SIA could fly direct too if there are open-skies.
And fares could drop.
Of course, I'm all for it.
So what's holding it up?
Qantas, our national airline, what else?
For 10 years, Singapore has asked Australia to let SIA fly direct between Australia and the US.
But there has been much resistance.
Yesterday, for instance, Qantas chief executive Geoff Dixon blasted SIA.
He said SIA was trying to take a slice of Qantas' lucrative transpacific routes to North America, even after Qantas reported a record half-year profit.
The US flights are a gold mine for Qantas. It owns three-quarters of the market share.
Each week Qantas has 37 flights between Australia and the US.
Of these, 30 are direct flights from Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne.
(SIA has just two direct services - from Singapore to New York, and Singapore to LA.)
And the US flights bring in 15 per cent of Qantas' profits, says JP Morgan Securities Australia.
The US flights netted some $186 million in profits for Qantas last year.
No wonder Qantas doesn't want competition.
Opening up the US route to SIA could cost Qantas about $56 million in profits, said JP Morgan.
Qantas, of course, says the airline industry has yet to recover from the effects of the Iraq war and Sars.
But what about us passengers?
Give us a break.
Bring on the competition and let the fares drop, I say.
