Italian men make the best lovers, according to a new survey.

The new "sex of the nations" survey" revealed that 64 percent of Italian men and women said they were satisfied with their love life.

The survey or more than 6,000 people from Italy, France, England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland found that the English were least happy with only 54 percent of reporting saying that they were satisfied with their sex lives.

The survey also revealed that people in Scotland have the lowest expectations. Researchers found that 10 percent of Scottish respondents expect sex to last less than two minutes.

On the other hand, over a third of Italians expect sex to last more than ten minutes.

The survey, which was done to highlight the prevalence of premature ejaculation, revealed that more than a fifth of people want sex to last longer. However, few men talked to their doctors about their sexual health problem.

"Premature ejaculation can lead to feelings of frustration and disappointment," said Martin Tod, chief executive of the Men's Health Forum, according to the Daily Mail. "It can have a real negative impact on quality of life for men and their partners."

"It is more common than people think and men should not feel embarrassed to do something about it," Tod added. "Help is available from your GP.  There's no need to suffer in silence."

The survey was sponsored by drug company Menarin.
