Sindex by Sinful - Britons and sex

What does a 'normal sex life' look like in the United Kingdom? Is it just women, who fake orgasms? Will my fantasies and desires scare away potential sex partners? Do I masturbate too often?

For a long time, sex has been a topic that we didn’t speak openly about. Therefore, Britons have many ideas about what makes up a 'normal sex life' – and perhaps they are not always entirely close to reality.

Most Britons say they have had 10 or less sex partners in their life. The majority of us have been sexually active within the last month and just over a quarter of us fantasise about having sex on a special location such as an airplane or in nature while a third of us have in fact already tried it.

Unfortunately, the numbers also confirm what other studies about sexual inequality have shown: The orgasm gap is evident. While 78% of British men have an orgasm often or every time during sex with others, this only goes for 58% of British women.
