Why women rate average guys seven out of 10 in bed

Women give a standard guy a 7 out of 10 under the sheets, but men only rate themselves as a six, a new survey has found.

According to the poll, most girls are so satisfied with their existing partner's expertise that they rate him higher than their former boyfriend, who only scored a mere five out of 10, the Daily Star reported.

Meanwhile, men gave a five out of ten to their former partner in bed that is lower than their current girlfriend.

But regardless of the rating, men are much more likely to yearn for their former girlfriend with a fifth even thinking about her when in bed with their present partner.

Additionally, one in 20 men have accidentally yelled out their former partner's name during sex.

The research, which was conducted for live chat room site Cam4.com, discovered that barely a fifth of all Brits deem that sex in their present relationship is perfect.

The poll also found that on average, couples had sex three times a month.
