FABULOUS SEX SURVEY

WOMEN ON TOP!

MORE ADVENTUROUS, MORE CONFIDENT AND MORE DEMANDING: BRITAIN’S WOMEN ARE TAKING CONTROL OF THE BEDROOM. DON’T BELIEVE US? JUST LOOK AT THE RESULTS

By Jess Spiring

Does the earth move for you? It should do. Because there’s a sexual revolution taking place in bedrooms (cars, lifts, and just about everywhere else) up and down the land.

When we asked 1,000 of you to confess everything about your sex lives, you didn’t hold back. The results? Some blush-inducing – and very empowering – findings. Namely that when it comes to sex, women around the country are kicking ass between the sheets! Phone sex, video cameras, threesomes, you’re doing your thing – and you’re not done yet.

In fact, all this bedroom action has left you screaming for more, more, more!

1 STEAMY CONFESSIONS
Hot stuff! When it came to your sauciest act between the sheets, this is how many of you owned up to…
A one-night stand 47%
Anal sex 33%
An affair 23%
A threesome 12%
A same sex sexual experience 10%
Tantric sex 2%

2 YOUR TOP TURN-ONS…
A third of you said pornography or erotic fiction got you hot
A man in uniform and sex with more than one person are your fave fantasies!
A man’s personality – but only 6% of you rate a toned torso
Saturday sex! 25% like to have sex on the weekends and over half love doing it on holiday!

3 THE MEN YOU’VE BEEN SLEEPING WITH
No one in our survey is going without sex right now – even the singletons Whether or not they’re telling the truth(!), most ladies reckon they’ve slept with between 2-5 men. But which men exactly? Apart from boyfriends and husbands, the lucky blokes luring you into the bedroom – or anywhere else they can seduce you for that matter – are:
An ex 37%
One of your colleagues 32%
A total stranger 23%
Your male best friend 15%
A friend’s partner (tut-tut!) 9%
Your boss 7%
Your female best friend 4%
An employee 2%

4 YOU WANT MORE!
A quarter of you want sex once a day. But most of you get it twice a week.
25% of you want 21-30 minutes foreplay – but most of you get between 6-20 minutes.
*Our top tip? Be more demanding!
Yes, even more than you are right now!

5 IS KISSING CHEATING?
So your minds are dirty – but your morals are clean.
According to over half of you, a smooch is infidelity and would cause you to break up, while unsurprisingly 92% of you said your partner having sex with someone else would sound the death knell for your relationship. Sending a sexy text or holding hands with someone else would also mean it was over. You hard lot!
Even flirting would kill the romance for 12% of you. However, 36% of you have cheated on a partner and 41% have kissed someone else while in a relationship.
So it seems you’re not so innocent after all!

6 BUT ARE YOU SAFE?
Being forward in the bedroom sadly doesn’t always mean being forward when it comes to contraception.
Half of women have taken the morning-after pill, 19% have had an unplanned pregnancy and 13% admitted to having had an abortion.
Condoms, condoms, condoms – that’s all we have to say on the matter. And don’t forget they’re free from family planning clinics – so there’s no excuse not to be using them in these credit crunch times…

7 THE ORGASM REPORT
So you’ve probably done it yourself… Yes, faked it!
48% of women are still being left unsatisfied, while 85% of their partners always climax.
The good news is that 25% of women reckon they have one. Every. Time. They. Have. Sex. And some of
you even have multiple orgasms. Tell us your secret, please?!
But 11% of women admit to never having an orgasm during sex. So there’s still work to be done!

8 WHEN & WHERE: BY NUMBERS
2 Nearly half of you have sex with a man after this many dates.
22 The percentage of women who say Saturday is bonk day.
1/3 think of a celebrity during sex. Examples given include Brad Pitt (pre-moustache) and Gordon Brown. Yes, really.
60 The percentage of women who’ve had sex in a car. Now that’s what we call va-va voom!

9 YOUR TURN-OFFS – THERE’S QUITE A FEW…
We asked: What puts you off having sex the most?
26% Being too tired or stressed
18% Body insecurities
15% My partner doesn’t turn me on
10% His bad hygiene
10% His bad technique
8% The children are home
8% Sex takes too long
5% Nothing

10 FAVOURITE WAYS TO KICK-START SEX
Only 1 in 10 of us do, but when you initiate it, you’re really, er, quite direct. Which means you…
Kiss
Ask him straight out!
Give him ‘The look’
Dress up
Send a saucy text message
A quarter of you also answered ‘getting drunk’. Oh, the romance of it all!

11 YOU FANCY YOUR MEN!
So you may not be having as much sex as you’d like – but at least you still fancy your partners.
A loved-up 75% of you are either married or in a relationship, and of those, 82% still fancy their partners all the time while 16% find their man hot sometimes. So the spark is alive and well – except for the 2% who said it had gone altogether.
Women in London, East Anglia, Scotland, the north-east and Northern Ireland all still have the hots for their men.

12 BEDROOM CONFIDENCE
It’ll come as no surprise to some moaning boyfriends that a quarter of women rate their sex drive as low.
Why? It’s all linked to body confidence – and yours could be better. A third of you prefer to have sex with the lights off. And more women think their breasts are more attractive than their personality! Surely they’re both as amazing as each other…
