No Sex Please: We`re German

A new poll of nearly 2,000 Germans showed sex to be the subject they least liked to talk about.

A new poll of nearly 2,000 Germans showed sex to be the subject they least liked to talk about, with 64 percent saying it was something they would rather avoid.

Just below sex on the list of least-liked topics were cash and relationships, according to the Allensbach polling institute. One in three of the Germans preferred not to talk about death, and one in five said sickness was a no-go area.

The favourite conversation topic was gossip about friends, followed by the latest prices of consumer goods. Coming a close third was "everyday stuff" and how they felt about themselves.
