How normal is your sex life?

I'm not being personal. Honest.

I'm not a great magazine connoisseur. When I do read magazines they tend to be "celebrity" ones and I only read these when I'm going on a long plane/bus/train journey, or when my housemate gives me hers. I try to steer well clear of fashion and lifestyle magazines. This is for a variety of reasons but mainly because I know that I'll never be able to follow or afford the fashion, my hair is never going to look like that and no matter how hard I try to copy their make-up tips my face will inevitably look like I've let a child loose with a paintbrush and/or marker pen.

However, a few days ago whilst perusing the magazine covers I spotted Cosmopolitan (both fashion and lifestyle no?) for the reduced price of £2 (normal price £3.40) and it came with a trashy chick-lit book. One of my guilty pleasures. I decided to splurge.

It was whilst I was flipping through the pages that I realised why I never buy magazines such as Cosmopolitan. They scare me. They're always full of stories and sex tips that I never would have thought of and would have to be practically incoherent with alcohol to even contemplate and advice on how to 'snare' men that I would never have the confidence to try. This particular issue is even worse: it's the "sexy" issue. So the question is ladies:

How normal is your sex life?

According to women in the UK:
*More than half of the survey participants consider themselves good in bed. (Oh to have that confidence.)
*70% worry about what they look like when they have sex. (Turn the lights off?)
*Women are more likely to moan about how much sex they're (not) getting if they live in London. (Agreed.)

This is obviously just a sample. However, there was one statistic that intrigued me:

* A quarter of single girls have sex once to three times a week.

Yes, you read that right. Single girls. Once to three times. A week. Which really does beg the question, where are they finding these men?! Or they're just lying. I hope they're lying because if not, I am clearly missing out.

This has been an education. And it only cost me £2. And I got a book.

Oh and they also listed the top 5 sex positions. If anyone is interested.
