Sri Lanka: Number One In Sex Searches

Everybody likes sex, but I suppose not everyone is getting it. According to Google, Sri Lanka is number one in regional interest for search terms relating to sex. By a mile – Sri Lanka scores 100 (out of 100) and Bangladesh and India are number two and three with 87. In response, the National Child Protection Authority has taken the sensible step of asking for sex education to be taught in schools, rather than people Googling for it (or, more likely, learning from porn).

Sri Lankans and South Asian men seem to be deeply sex deprived, ranging from the positively rapey culture of Delhi and much of India to the casual harassment in places like Sri Lanka. Everybody likes sex and men like porn, but there’s something weird going on here that makes us number one.

I think it’s partly because Sri Lanka is a middle income country, ie, people have left the old culture and aren’t marrying so early but they’re not yet independent enough to date and live alone. In between, they have Internet.

At the same time, however, it’s not so innocuous. From Parliament on down, there are horrific attitudes towards women and the dark side of Internet pornography (harassment, abuse, trafficking, rape) is also all to prevalent in our society today. Hence it’s good that the NCPA is calling for sex education, which is at least a start to a more healthy sexual culture.

  1. Probably the only list we are on top of – unfortunately a list you wouldn’t want to be on top of.

    This is the age old question isn’t it? Open up so it can be moderated or make it illegal in the hope that it can be kept under control?

    Looking at the high-profile rape case in India and how people are reacting to it, I say it is not something that can be controlled with laws (or only with laws). Education is the key to try to change the mentality of the citizens and social acceptance of it.

  3. You’re reading it wrong. It’s really a matter of English. Only a person with very little English knowledge would search for porn by typing “sex” on Google.

    Type, bdsm, and you’d get this:

    Apparently people in Germany and Czech Republic are bondage-deprived, if your reading is right.

    Anyway, I found two interesting things.

    1. Papua New Guinea has some weird fascination with incest.

    2. Pakistanis are very interested about rationality, which is weird considering they do insane things based on clearly retarded beliefs.
