"Not with a Bang...but a Whimper" Italian Women Too Busy for Sex Monday, Aug. 13, 2001 ROME (Reuters) - Italian women work longer hours than any other women in Europe, according to a new survey -- such long hours, in fact, that they hardly have time for sex. The average Italian woman is busy for 10 or 11 hours a day, versus 9-10 hours in Germany, France, Portugal and Spain, and a relatively easy-going 7-8 hours in Sweden and Finland, according to the survey by Rome's Ipsa Institute. Italian women not only spend at least eight hours a day at work, they do around 90 minutes of housework, are busy cooking for a further half-hour and dedicate at least 20 minutes each day to exercise or "grooming." All that work leaves little time for play, particularly of the bedroom variety. According to the survey, the average Italian woman has just one hour of sex every 15 days. It showed that Italian men do less housework than men in any other European country -- just 15 minutes a day. The result? Italian women are watching more television and nearly 40 percent of superworkers say they are unhappy in their marriages.
