Regrets poles apart among men and women

-

WHATEVER gender you are, most people will occasional­ly find themselves having a few regrets about their love lives.

But, according to a survey, men and women tend to tell a very different story about their most disappoint­ing decisions.

While men most often regret not having sex with more partners, women fret about sleeping with the wrong person.

They also worry about moving too fast, while men are more concerned about the times they have not moved fast enough to get a partner into bed.

The American study found that the main regrets women reported were losing their virginity to the wrong part- ner, cheating or moving too fast sexually.

However, the major regrets for men were being too timid to approach a possible partner, not being more sexually adventurou­s when young and not being more sexually active before getting married.

US academics quizzed more than 25,000 people about their sex lives.
