Women crave sex nearly as often as men 27.5

An Australian survey has revealed that women crave sex nearly as often as men do.

The online survey on almost 10,000 Australian men and women, aged between 25 and 45, asked about what they thought of sex.

And the results showed that when it comes to love, lust and good old-fashioned romance, the genders aren”t that different.

The study found that almost 33 percent of women want sex every day, compared with 40 percent of men, though in reality 25 percent of women have sex only once a week while one in five get lucky just once a month.

Olivia Nicolson, 25, an events manager, and Chris Grady, 25, a forensic officer with NSW Police, have been together for four years and have a very healthy sex life – engaging in sex three to four times a week – with both of them initiating it.

“We”re both pretty similar in what we want,” Suff.co.nz quoted Grady as saying.

“I probably want it a little more than Olivia, but on the whole we just really enjoy being with each other,” he said.

Nicolson said she often wanted sex every day if she was not tired.

“When I”m not tired from work I would say that I would want it almost every day,” she said.

More than two-thirds of both sexes said they would be open to watching porn or engaging in sexy role-play games in order to spice things up.

“We don”t need to mix it up all that often. But we have watched some porn and I sometimes dress up in lingerie,” Nicolson revealed.

A romantic dinner was favoured by a third of both sexes but according to 61.8 percent of men and 52.4 percent of women, there is nothing quite like a cosy night in to ignite passion.

Dancing is the unanimous winner for both sexes when it comes to activities most likely to turn us on, with 65.9 percent of women and 50 percent of men preferring it to outdoor pursuits and pub-based pastimes such as pool.

As for sex itself, the survey showed rushed foreplay was named as the biggest issue for 37.8 percent of women while 35 percent of men complained women never initiate sex.

More than half of both sexes said the one thing they really wanted, above all else, was to be seduced more often.

Sex therapist and clinical psychologist Janet Hall said sex was often reduced to soulless hook-ups.

“The attitude towards sex is now about the outcome, rather than the journey,” Dr Hall said.

“People aren”t making love now, they”re just having sex.

“Girls are not telling the guys what they want and as a result the whole art of seduction is just not there any more,” she added.

The findings are published in April 20 Men’’s Health and Women’’s Health magazines.

17 things that turn women off. Remember them guys

about the most irritating things men do in bed. I am sure most guys do these unconsciously or otherwise. But it never hurts to learn.

1. Not shaving : Love hurts, we know but stubbles hurt too. When you drag your chin across her neck or cleavage or inner thighs, she might not be moaning from pleasure but from pain. Abhishek Bachchan looks good in the big screen only. I wonder if Ash complains.

2. Blowing in her ear : There is a big difference between erotic whispering in someone’s ear and huffing and puffing and spitting as if you are running a marathon. Be in control of how you blow.

3. Tweaking her nipples : Nipples are sensitive organs guys and they should be treated gently. They are not to be treated like radio dials. How would you feel if we start chewing your testicles?

4. Ignoring the rest of her body : A woman is made up of more than two breasts and a vagina. Pay attention to the rest of her. She will love it.

5. Not disposing of used condoms : This is the responsibility of the person who wore it. It is gross to wake up in the morning with a smelly condom stuck in your hair.

6. Not kissing first : Foreplay starts with passionate kissing. Don’t skip this part in eagerness to go in. She will feel neglected by your apparent haste.

7. Attacking the clitoris : Like nipples, these are ultra sensitive too. Be gentle and don’t use direct pressure. This could be both uncomfortable and painful.

8. Stopping for a break : Women cannot pick up where they left off. In this respect they are different from men, accept it and understand it. If you stop for a cigarette break or telephone call, she will go back to square one very quickly.

9. Taking your pants off first : There are few things less attractive than a man in only socks, a shirt and underpants. Can’t say the same about women though.

10. Going too fast : Remember intercourse is not an Olympic event. There is no need for you to pump away like a hydraulic power tool. Start ultra slowly, experience through every inch your skin, build it up and you both might have more fun.

11. Asking if she has come : You should be able to tell if she had come, shouldn’t you? If you can’t, assume that she hasn’t and try again.

12. Pushing her head down during a blowjob : All women hate this, trust me. There is an element of desperation involved when men do this. For women, it is a short step away from being dragged to a cave by the hair. If you both enjoy oral sex, this will happen by itself. Don’t involve an element of force and don’t try to imitate porn.

13. Taking pictures : Need I say more? Her first thought will be “Who do you want to show them to?”

14. Giving love bites : Gentle suction with the lips on the sides of the neck can be highly erotic, but love “bites” can be painful and lead to infections. Who wants to wear scarves and polo necks in the middle of the summer?

15. Squashing her : Just remember that most men weigh more than women do. If you carelessly throw yourself too heavily on her, she might just stop breathing.

16. Talking dirty : This might make you sound like a desperate sex caller on Yahoo! messenger. Listen to her first and if she doesn’t talk dirty, stop. Talking dirty turn some girls on but not all.

17. Don’t thank a woman for having sex with you : It makes you sound desperate and like a charity case. She won’t be back for more.
