Sex – How good are you?

Take our test to find out where your talents lie between the sheets.

A new iPhone app that promises to rate your performance in bed has just been released. Amazing, we thought – after all, doesn’t everyone worry about how they measure up between the sheets? But the app, which uses sound and motion sensors to rate its user’s performance, has been widely slated for its inaccuracy. Not so amazing, then. So, if you really want to know your strengths and weaknesses in bed, put down your phone, pick up a pen and take our test.

Mostly Gs – You’re a GIVER

What’s good: You prioritise his needs and always leave him satisfied, but then, what man doesn’t like the idea of having a girl fulfilling all of his desires?

What’s not so good: You may be sacrificing your pleasure for his. Maybe you tried to impress him with your selflessness, but if he thinks you’re always satisfied, sex will stay one-sided, and you’ll start to resent it.

Be better: If you also scored lots of As, then that’s great. But if you also scored Ws, you need to turn sex into a two-way street. Move his fingers to the right place, or just use the four words ‘harder, softer, faster, slower’. Mostly Ds – You DOMINATE What’s good: You know what you like, which is great for him as well as you – men love knowing they can hit the spot. What’s not so good: You know what works, so you’re apprehensive about new things, which means you’re not getting the spontaneity that makes sex fun.

Be better: What are you afraid of – doing something you’re uncomfortable with, or doing something that he enjoys more than you? If you also scored Ws, it’s the fear of the unknown that bothers you, so talk to him. Vary things before you get stuck in a rut – let him have a go at taking charge, and learn more about what he likes. Mostly As – You’re ADVENTUROUS

What’s good: You’re up for anything – most guys love a girl who enjoys an adventurous sex life. You’re not afraid to show you enjoy sex.

What’s not so good: Sometimes there can be too much of a good thing. If you like extreme adventure, you may be giving the impression of being easy, and this may make men value you less. The easier it is to get something, the less we appreciate it.

Be better: If you scored lots of Cs too, then you already have a good balance. But if you also scored a lot of Ds, you need to give yourself some time to get to know a man on an emotional level.

Mostly Cs – You CONNECT What’s good: It’s great that you’ve worked out that really good sex is about emotional connection. It’s what everyone aims for – even men.

What’s not so good: While it’s what they want eventually, men may get put off by the pressure of your emotional expectations

Be better: Be more open-minded. It’s great to associate romance with sex, and there’s nothing wrong with only sleeping with men you feel a connection with, but be more compassionate by communicating how you feel physically.

Mostly Ws – You WORRY What’s good: You never get lost in the moment, which means you’re the least likely to end up with the kind of man who’ll just use you for sex.

What’s not so good: Your lack of communication leaves men feeling unsure and insecure about what they’re doing.

Be better: Spend time masturbating – if you don’t know what you enjoy, he has no chance of working it out alone. You also need to accept that he’s there because he fancies you – when a man is aroused, he couldn’t care less about the size of your thighs or buttocks.
