What puts us most off sex?  Let’s find out…

There are some things we should keep in mind when negotiating the love-and-sex barometer.  You may think that you are a sure-fire hit in the bedroom but there are some things which are better left alone.

Unfortunately, top of the list for both men and women is confidence.  This may sound worrying to some because sex can be nerve-wracking, especially at that all-important First Time with a new partner.  If you do find that the nerves kick in as soon as the evening heads to the bed, keep in mind a few basics:

-          Know what you want and how to ask for it

-          Relax and go with the flow!

-          Don’t be too pushy but keep control of yourself – nobody likes aggression!

-          Tipsy is fine, drunk is not!  Sure, a glass of wine or two can be great to get rid of the sweat and fears, but don’t go overboard…what if you forget about what happened the next day?!

-          Don’t be a lazy lover.  Letting your sexual partner do all the work while you lie back can be an incredible turn off and might mean there won’t be a next date.  So stay pro-active and show some of your skills!  

-          Personal hygiene is a must for both men and women!  Bad breath or smelly pits – or worse, a less-than-attractive downstairs department – can be a massive turn off for anyone looking for passion.  

So before you get on the dating market and arrange your next date or new match, remember that while not everyone has perfect porn-star skills, there are plenty of ways to make sure that you are not a one-night flop for him or her!
