No Sex in the City????


No sex in the city?

The thing I like about Hong Kong is its diversity, a place filled with hard edged people pretty much hard at it at work but if the survey is true then with one of the lowest rates of sexual activity per capita anywhere in Asia as well. Now this is based on a survey of local HK residents, perhaps one thing they don’t brag about is their sex life and may well play down the reality of it all. Seems hard to believe in a place where its easier for a Hooker to get multiple re-entries (into HK that is) on her Passport than it was for my wife when she was travelling on a Taiwan Passport….I digress, but yes, when undertaking research for this blog (well someone had to do it) I was promptly informed by ladies of the evening of their in’s and out’s and how they go about getting in and out of HK and how they take on Immigration in the process. The mostly Philippine and Thai ladies get two week visas at a time but then they can just pop, cherry like, in and out of Shenzhen or Macau and get into HK again. Perhaps this explains why the ferries and trains are so jam packed with “visitors”.

While the traveling businessman may be well serviced by the local take on the worlds oldest profession what do the business men and women living in HK do? Statistics: the dating site Adultfreidnfinder.com for Hong Kong has over 100,000 men listed as seeking women and less than 8,000 women seeking men! But with a 180,000 listings in total it seems a lot of in between activity is going on somewhere! So based on that are women in HK even looking for sex?

If my marginal group of friends and associates are anything to go by more of the females are single and loving it, while my male counter parts are attached and it’s hard to tell if they are having as good a time as the single women. For some reason Hong Kong is a place where I constantly meet sexy, good looking single women. Not that anything comes of it, nor do I seek it (at least not when sober) I am just stunned by the beauty and availability of it all. Whether it is out at Lan Kwai Fong, Soho or Wanchai revelers abound and this really is a city that does not sleep. Perhaps that’s why it has a low sexual activity rate, too busy partying and then to sloshed to do anything about it. I can hear it now…. “sorry love can’t stay at home and get it on tonight gotta meet up with the guys out in LKF”. (oh and that’s what the women say to the men!)

Me? Alone in HK while the wife and kids are safely and sanely at home in Australia.

I stay at home and just write blogs about sex, wine and food….now that’s a situation Freud could have field day with, but that’s another story!

Anthony Arrigo is just another sex starved sexpat living in Asia, any names in the above have not been changed to expose the guilty.
