HONG KONG (AFP) - Hong Kongers, once found to prefer work to sex, have become a little more sexually active -- and picked up a few special interests along the way.

Residents of the Chinese territory are now having regular sex, and doing it in more places, with more people and in more ways, the survey by HK Magazine found.

More than 10 percent of respondents said they'd had sex with so many partners that they had lost count. More than half of the men said they had paid for sex, while that figure for women was 2.4 percent.

The survey of 1,500 people, which also took place in the Bangkok and Singapore, found Hong Kongers were more prepared to have sex to further their careers and that an equal number of men and women -- around 86 percent -- like to talk dirty.

The findings are in contrast to a survey by condom company Durex last year that placed Hong Kongers at the bottom of the world's sex league table, having sex just 79 times a year.

However, the HK Magazine survey did unearth some less surprising facts.

In a city where 98 percent of the population has one or more mobile phones, 38 percent of men and 35 percent of women said they had interrupted sex to answer a call.
