Both are correct, depending on the context. If decrease is a noun then decrease of is correct. eg This year we have seen a decrease of 20 percent. If decrease is a verb then decrease by 20 percent is correct. eg This year we can decrease the price by 20 percent.

Are Greeks really the best lovers?

Greeks are the most sexually active "Also on the question of how frequently couples should have sex to be satisfied, the Greeks are right at the top of the league table, with 24 per cent regarding at least five times a week as appropriate. This means that the Greeks are distinctly above the European (10 per cent) and American (16 per cent) average. A large number of Europeans, i.e. 40 per cent, feel that between two and four times a week is enough for a happy sex life. At 39 per cent, almost as many think once a week or less is adequate. By contrast, the Czechs, only half of whom share this view, are over-proportionally undemanding this respect. " Statistics say it all. The most active=the greatest experience=They now how to satisfy their wives. On average at least.
