Nearly half of Brits are unhappy with their sex lives because of an increasing pressure to perform, a recent study found.
And while previous research suggested the average couple have sex twice a week, a new study of 6,000 people discovered 51% of loved-up duos haven’t had sex in the last month.
So, why is the nation going through such a dry spell? Our recent Daily Star poll might hold the answers.
We asked our female readers “Do you really enjoy sex with your partner?” and the answers are depressing.
Of the 860 women who took part in the poll, 15% admitted they don’t enjoying sex with their partner and actually have a lover on the side.
A further 13% said “No – it’s boring and feels like a chore”. While 20% said “Sometimes – Only if I’m really in the mood”.
The means that nearly half of women don’t enjoy having sex with their current partner.
In fact, a further 21% said they did enjoy it but claimed the sex was “a bit routined”. Worryingly only 31% said “Of course – My partner is amazing in bed”.
But it’s not the fact women don’t like sex or don’t want regular satisfaction.
A whopping 75% of ladies wish they were getting down and dirty three times a week, compared to 67% of men.
Some weren’t even satisfied with that, with 13% confessing they’d like to engage in sexual activity more than six times a week. And 9% of women wish they could have sex every day.
Here we reveal some simple sex tips to help out the 69% of guys that are boring their partners in the bedroom:
1. Don’t forgo foreplay
We recently conducted a survey asking simply “what makes someone good in bed?”
Possible answers included things like “stamina” and “penis size”, but there was one overriding winner – foreplay.
A whopping 36% of the 4,994 people you took part said foreplay was the most important factor when it came to sex.
This was closely followed by “make sure we both orgasm”, which ad 33% of the votes.
Comparatively, only 13% said having a big penis was the key to being a good lover.
2. Let her take charge
It’s important to put the effort in when it’s needed, but you should also let her take charge sometimes.
This is particularly important because the sex position which garners the most orgasms is Girl On Top.
Other pleasurable positions include Spooning and Doggy Style, which has been voted Britain’s favourite sex position.
3. Keep it simple
You might think you have to do all kinds of imaginative things to get her off, but our recent study proves otherwise.
We asked our readers “which sex act do you orgasm from most”. The poll of 9,360 women revealed vaginal sex was the most common way to make her orgasm, with 36% of the vote.
Oral sex came in second with 26% saying they climaxed when receiving it. And 24% said they orgasmed through mutual masturbation.
Only 14% said the sex act they orgasmed from most was anal sex, despite another study saying this was the best way to increase her pleasure.
