The UK's Favorite Sex Position Is...

by Kristine Fellizar

What is your favorite sex position of choice? A little doggy style? Some cowgirl? Or perhaps, the classic missionary? Well, chances are, if you’re a Brit, you’re most likely to favor doing it from behind to anything else. When it comes to favorite sexual positions in the bedroom, a recent survey found that one in four British people prefer doggy style. It was also found that 23 percent of people enjoy girl-on-top, followed by 21 percent who prefer missionary.

The survey, which was conducted by high street sex shop chain, Ann Summers, took answers from 1000 adults across the UK to find out more about the current state of the nation’s sexual attitudes and behaviors. They found that younger people weren’t the only ones trying to keep it fresh in the bedroom. In fact, despite some belief that older people do it just to do it and in the most standard position possible (i.e. missionary), the survey found that’s not really the case. In fact, 30 percent of 35 to 44-year-olds said that doggy style was their favorite position, while 25 percent of 44 to 54-year-olds preferred woman-on-top.

“It’s fantastic to see that adults across the UK are becoming more adventurous and having fun with their sex lives,” an Ann Summers spokesman said.

It is good to see. In fact, just last year, another survey on British sexual behaviors found some discouraging news. British newspaper, The Observer studied trends in UK sexual behavior and attitudes between 2008 and 2014. It was found that national libido declined during those years, as well as the overall satisfaction with one's sex life. Additionally, among the people surveyed, confidence over their own sexual performance significantly dropped. In 2008, 55 percent of Brits believed to be above average lovers. In 2014, that number fell to 33 percent, with a majority thinking they were just average lovers.

Nowadays, over a third of those surveyed said they have sex two to four times a week, and that 66 percent of people enjoy using at least two to three positions per sex session. As far as adventure goes, 24 percent of people admit to using sex toys to liven things up, and 12 percent even admitted to having sex in their parents’ bed.

But, that's not at all. They created videos with the sex stats and also ranked the Top 10 Places where Brits like to have sex. For the most part, the results weren't too surprising, but here they are:

1. In the bedroom (88%)

2. In front of the TV (64%)

3. The shower (49%)

4. In the bath (34%)

5. In the kitchen (33%)

6. On the stairs (24%)

7. On the beach (22%)

8. On a night out (20%)

9. At a park (18%)

10. At work (13%)
