New survey reveals what men are most likely to lie about in the bedroom

Sex is certainly an intimate act. First, you need to find someone suitable, then you have to grapple with the reality of being starkers in front of another human being, and finally, there's the act itself, which can be awkward, messy, and even downright awful.

Potential mishaps aside, it's understandable that people are close-lipped when it comes to their most private desires, but recent research has revealed that it's actually the men in your life who are the most guilty of this.

According to an online survey conducted by UK based health and beauty retailer, Superdrug, over 45 per cent of male participants admitted that they're not wholly honest about their sexual fantasies with their current partner.

This makes it the thing that males are most likely to be dishonest about when it comes to their sex life.

On the other hand, women are also fairly tight-lipped about sharing their sexual fantasies, with 41 per cent revealing that they're not forthcoming about them either.

Although you're not required to divulge your deepest and darkest desires with whoever you're currently sharing a bed with, research shows that in order to have a healthy sex life, open communication is key.

In any case, it's important to remember that having sexual fantasies is perfectly normal, and you should never feel ashamed about sharing them.
