Southern Men Rated Best Lovers

18 Dec 2007

You can't beat the love of a Southern Man….and the South Island's scenery and relaxed lifestyle could be their inspiration.

A study of more than 600 New Zealand women have rated South Island men overall better lovers than men from the North Island.

However, the survey found the best lovers were the men of Manawatu-Wanganui with an average of 7.9 out of 10 for sexual performance, while Canterbury men came a close second with an average mark of 7.7.

Despite this, the survey showed South Island men had an overall lead on North Islanders, who averaged a score of seven for sexual performance.

"There are a whole lot of factors in place that can affect performance," says David Rae, the country manager for Durex in New Zealand who carried out the survey.

"42 per cent of Kiwis say they prefer sex in a non-stressful situation. Maybe we can draw some conclusions from the relaxed lifestyle people have in the South Island. The men might be inspired by the wonderful scenery."
