    Notice majority of the searches are from areas NOT from dominated by Tamils or Muslims. Looks like Tamil and Muslim men get the real deal while the majority men have to go online for 'sex'. So its clear who women prefer.

    Though Sri Lanka top the list of sex but our population is declining comparatively with other nation. . Searching for sex prevented unnecessary child birth.

    Cowboy Friday, 09 December 2016 10:26 AM

    We have searched only for sex not for pornography. chill out people... via DM Android App

    Why worry without Sex - Even Google would not have been invented. Sex is a Beautiful Relationship God has gift god has given for man and women. If Man/Women misuse it you cannot blame any one.Even the Lady who was caught in adultery was forgiven. Why only the Women are looked with bad eye. What about the Men who commit Adultery

    ThalanaBatu Friday, 09 December 2016 11:36 AM

    what difference would that make?

    Thanos Friday, 09 December 2016 11:37 AM

    Dharmarajya! Instead of leading in words like "Compassion", "Morality", "Empathy" or Scientific terms like "Relativity", "Quantum Mechanics" and so on Sri Lanka leads in "Sex".

    IF srilanka is a religious country hw come its top in this list. via DM Android App

    Premalal Friday, 09 December 2016 11:48 AM

    Don't blame religion for every indiscretion of man. Of course sex is a private matter but religion and society stipulate how to take part in sex. That is why infidelity is a ground to seek divorce. Otherwise we shall be no more than animals without any morals.

    AFZAL Friday, 09 December 2016 11:51 AM

    There should be a proper education system in Srilanka regarding sex .For school students must educate them from grade 6.

    Kale Friday, 09 December 2016 09:38 AM

    Save, worse than that, SL education does not teach critical thinking, only learn by rote, and obedience.Neither are good for a country that wants to develop itself, only good for politicians who want people to submit.

    Capt.LOL Friday, 09 December 2016 11:55 AM

    Notice majority of the searches are from areas NOT from dominated by Tamils or Muslims. Looks like Tamil and Muslim men get the real deal while the majority men have to go online for 'sex'. So its clear who women prefer. Frustration of men who are NOT Tamil or Muslim is quite clear. "Paw wade"

    sanju Friday, 09 December 2016 12:08 PM

    What's wrong with sex ? Everyone, every animal, every being, knows it's the best thing on earth. And moreover, in this instance it's nonviolent. Really what is wrong with it. And please what is morally wrong with eroticism. It's been a way of life in this part of the world for centuries. Just look at the temples of Khajuraho, Konark, Hampi, Orissa........Anyway if there was a more liberal approach to sex in Lanka, and the decriminalisation of archaic sex laws we would certainly not make the top of these porn on line lists. Long live liberal love !

    Wait. it will double once free tabs of RW implemented

    NAF Friday, 09 December 2016 03:35 PM

    Yahapalana Government gave Free WIFI to Search SEX

    bandulaV Thursday, 15 December 2016 05:55 PM

    Very Funny!Try to teach the others in the world about moral values, going to temple every sunday. I live in Sweden and so called west, here the most searched word was pokermon go!

    Koby Thursday, 15 December 2016 09:12 PM

    Hey! People be happy. As a developing nation and good community our people have used the word to search and learn. Not like the other nations specifically the developed nations where sex is not only just learnt but practically practice. People marry whomever they want have sex anywhere they want. Bloody nations complaining about our nation.

    Clean slate Saturday, 09 December 2017 12:03 PM

    No need for sex educ'n to students in schools. Even in rural schs girls have lreadyrecd edu in medicine eEnough to convince the principal that a bout of vomiting is necessarily illicit teen pregnancy. No dicip action aganzt pricip and the students. These students shd be Coopted to our maternity health system and some of the smàrtèr ones shd lecturè oIn medi colleges..

    Proud Citizen Friday, 09 December 2016 08:21 AM

    That's like the only data Google shares with us.... As if there aren't other countries who are much desperate over sex!!!! Wake up Guys!! Even the internet (controlled by the West) can produce biased information, don't get carried away... Lol!

    Lillian Thursday, 08 December 2016 10:38 PM

    If the Sri Lankan education system included proper sex ed. to the curriculum, Sri Lanka wouldn't be making it to these lists.

    nick Friday, 09 December 2016 05:22 AM

    we are heading to a disaster these fact are the preparation for the rapes so soon Sri Lanka will be the top on the lists for rapes in the world most of individuals is without education or jobless again government fault for this as its not doing enough to change them into better people so some addicted to sex and others associated with racial propaganda via DM Android App

    ns&ds Friday, 09 December 2016 06:07 AM

    This is just one word....sex...other countries follow proper word to target difined searches in west....dont panic mate... via DM Android App

    Save Friday, 09 December 2016 06:08 AM

    Sri Lankan education system is one of the lowest in terms of quality. It doesn't teach ethics, understanding, and the social issues. Sex education is very common in other countries from grade 6. With the expected Tab distribution both school teachers and students would search above word and 2017, the gap between Sri Lanka and the second place would be enormous. The GOSL is asking educators to come Sri Lanka and serve. However, they never listen to them once make a suggestion to change things as the politicians have thier own portfolio. It is very pathetic but at least Sri Lanka is the worst in worst. Land like no other.

    Gramme Award, how nice , keep it up citizens

    Hettiarachchi Friday, 09 December 2016 06:58 AM

    Homagama is the constituency of one of the leading member of the JO -kers. No wonder!

    ANTON Friday, 09 December 2016 07:06 AM

    TO BE HONEST , LOWEST SEX CRIMES ARE REPORTED IN WESTERN PROVINCE.

    Rodney Friday, 09 December 2016 07:26 AM

    Religion won't people any good. This is due to the taboo of sex being looked upon as a very private thing. Lack of openness and not being frank. One example is the man who visits brothels on a regular basis will talk of infidelity with a loud voice on a public forum,.

    Shobana Thursday, 08 December 2016 10:27 PM

    something is really wrong with our practice of religions.

    frustrated Citizen Friday, 09 December 2016 08:28 AM

    No wonder lack of education its simple via DM Android App

    save Friday, 09 December 2016 08:42 AM

    Agreed. Sri Lankan have use a very limited vocabulary and this may be the only word they know. Again education comes first.

    mal Friday, 09 December 2016 08:43 AM

    Possible the presence of uniform personnel is high. This syndrome obvious from top to bottom.

    Dhanu Friday, 09 December 2016 09:14 AM

    Lillian, 100% agree with you. in sri lanka proper proper sex education is received only for med students.

    John Wick Friday, 09 December 2016 09:24 AM

    I think I know the reason why.... it's because porn or sex is either restricted/limited and not easily accessible or available. which is why most countries that don't have such restrictions don't make this list. same applies to all the 3rd world countries mentioned on this list

    Lalith Friday, 09 December 2016 09:28 AM

    OK give tablets to school children....we will hold the record for ever....!

    Leo Friday, 09 December 2016 09:31 AM

    Dont know how many of these searchers were done by SL women. via DM Android App
