Women want sex MORE than lads do and this is how often they’d like to be getting steamy under the sheets, according to new research
New research has debunked common stereotypes about women and sex
IT'S usually assumed that men want sex more than women - but a new study has revealed that might not be the case after all.
Researchers keen to challenge common sex stereotypes - including that women aren't interested in sex, have fewer orgasms and get emotionally attached after hooking up - found that women are actually hornier than men.
In fact, the 500 women surveyed by fertility app Kindara revealed that over 50 per cent of ladies aren't having as much sex as they'd like to.
On top of that, 75 per cent of those questioned admitted they wished they were getting it on over three times every week - while 13 per cent said they'd like to have sex more than six times a week.
Meanwhile, the assumption that women don't orgasm as often as men was debunked by the finding that 39 per cent of women climax at least once during sex - while one in 10 enjoy multiple orgasms.
Commenting on the findings, researchers said:
Most women orgasm during each sexual encounter – many do so more than once.
"While we didn’t ask men how frequently they achieve orgasm, we did learn that 49% of women report orgasming at least once or even multiple times during each sexual encounter.
