Global sex report: Indians are sexually frustrated
According to a Durex global survey, Indians are not sexually satisfied -- only 46% of them manage to orgasm. Not quite what you'd expect from the land of Kamasutra and erotic sculptures. India today is strongly influenced by Western culture, however it is not yet free from its traditional shell, something that gives rise to much hypocrisy. For example: India wanting to ban cheer leaders in a cricket tournament because they are vulgar, but then Bollywood film songs are provocative enough to be classified as erotica.
Sex is still a taboo subject in the country (it's almost synonymous to porn), there is no sex education in schools (culturally immoral?), and anything to do with the word is suppressed. Not being able to enjoy sex stems from inhibitions and ingrained conservative cultural beliefs, all that rise from tradition and severe lack of openness in society.
Or could all this be rubbish and it really has to do with the fact that the "thingis" of Indian men are too small?
Oh well, at least India has scored higher than the Japanese and Chinese who with only 27% and 24% (respectively) managing to reach orgasm, have been pronounced the countries that have the worst sex. Italians, Spaniards and Mexicans have the best sex lives with 66% of them reaching orgasm.

Both this article, and the article from IBN that you referenced, equating both sexual satisfaction and "good sex" with orgasm, something that the original Durex Sexual Wellbeing Global Survey (available at durex.com), does not do. I also believe that equating sexual satisfaction with orgasm ignores many other aspects of sexual interaction that may lead to both good sex and sexual satisfaction.
Perhaps the focus on orgasm is part of what has reduced overall sexual satisfaction in that partners are no longer experiencing each other as fully, being so intent on the single physiological response of orgasm.
