Sex facts – the truth about what goes on between the sheets

According to a survey, 64% of women and 20% of men pretend to experience pleasure in bed.

A quarter of women turn to role play, and 42% of men think about someone else during sex. So if your partner really rocked your world, don’t simply give them a kiss… present them with an Oscar instead.

Here are more findings from the survey:

10% of women engage in lovemaking five times a week. That equates to over 20 times a month. Those in the age group of 20-29 are the most sexually active, with 45% of them having sex 6-19 times monthly. While five times a week is not unusual, it mainly occurs when you’re young and have recently started a new relationship.

42% of men have fantasies while having sex. Additionally, 28% of women also think about someone else during the act. This is perfectly normal, and there’s nothing wrong with it. Maintaining a lifelong sexual relationship with just one person can be challenging, and fantasizing can help keep things exciting and fresh… just don’t let your partner in on it.

40% of women find porn to be a source of arousal. This trend is a contemporary development. Many women check their partners’ computers to discover their viewing preferences and often find they enjoy it as well. As for men, 40% are concerned about the addictive nature of porn. It can be addictive, particularly for men, since there’s minimal effort involved… unlike with real sex.

18% admit to being unfaithful to their partner. This applies to both genders. However, 75% would not be able to forgive their partner for infidelity. The question of whether cybersex counts as cheating remains ambiguous. Consider this: Would my partner be upset if they could see what I’m doing right now? If the answer is yes, then you’re crossing a line.
