Brit women are most confident between the sheets

Feeling inventive?10 of the best sexguides for you to try!

To forget your body hang-ups ladies, all you need is a little time between the sheets, a new survey reveals.

Research by contraception makers Mates, has found that while most women are worrying about their ‘wobbly bits’ throughout the day, they seem to forget all their misgivings when it comes to time in the bedroom.

Compared to our European counterparts, British ladies are the most confident in bed, far more interested in how good it feels (72%) and how fit their partner looks (57%), than how they themselves look (43%) or how they’re doing in the sack (also 43%).

Despite this sexual revolution, some of our standard British worry traits still remain. We tend to worry more about the amount of noise we are making, instead of whether we are enjoying ourselves or not!  

And despite our success rate in the bedroom, the French are still having more sex than us – our Channel friends have sex an average 8.2 times a month, compared to the typical Brit at 6.5 times.

These findings accompany the launch of Mates SKYN.  Designed to revolutionise sex with a condom, the makers claim they are the closest thing to the sensation of wearing nothing thanks to a new, non latex material called Sensoprene.

But women be warned, the research also found that we may have to watch out for unfortunate videos of ourselves ending up on the web.

A quarter of men and women have admitted to recording themselves doing the deed using their phone, and half of British adults under 30 have sent an explicit picture via their mobile (50%).

Sex and relationship expert Jo Hemmings offers the following advice to better sex: "In my view, imagination is key to having great sex. As, indeed, is being able to relax.

Using a safe, natural-feeling condom enables us to relax without the fear of pregnancy or contracting an STI, keeping us focussed on that all-important pleasure principle."

According to Mates, SKYN condoms are clinically proven to enhance sensation.

As part of the SKYN Revolution launch, Brits are encouraged to swap their old, latex condoms for a free sample of Mates SKYN.
