SEX O'CLOCK How long horny Brits really want sex to last for, according to a new poll – how does your love life compare?
A NEW poll has revealed exactly how long Brits across the country actually want sex to last for - so how does your love life stack up?
Although some people are choosing not to have sex at all - which you'll be aware of if you've been tuning into Channel 4 Virgin Island in recent weeks, there are plenty of those who still enjoy getting frisky in between the sheets.

Of course, everyone and every relationship is different, and it's not realistic to expect that steamy period when you first start seeing someone to last forever.
A recent survey also showed that most Brits - a whopping 48 per cent - get nookie once a week.
If that's the case, then you certainly don't want that one time to be disappointing for anyone involved.
Fortunately, we've now got a time to work against and it seems that stamina is the name of the game - if a new poll from ASDA online doctor is anything to judge by.

They asked people from cities across the UK how long they would want sex to last, rather than expect, and the total comes in at a rather impressive 23 minutes and 45 seconds, Lad Bible reported.
Given that a sex expert spilled the beans on Steven Bartlett's Diary of a CEO podcast that the average romp lasts just three to seven minutes, it perhaps may be a pipe dream for Scots in Glasgow who are wanting just shy of 30 minutes every time they get frisky.
Meanwhile, Cardiff's demands are a little more understanding, coming in at 19 minutes and 45 seconds on average.
Londoners want 23 minutes seven seconds, Manchester residents 22 minutes 13 seconds, and those in Birmingham 23 minutes 55 seconds.

The survey also asked participants to reveal what is preventing them from having more regular sex, with body insecurities and nerves about not satisfying your partner being a key issue for both men and women.
The research asked men and women what the main reason they had avoided sex in the last year was, and the main hangups were weight (48 per cent) and performance anxiety (42 per cent).

44 per cent of women avoided sex because of anxieties about their body hair, while 34 per cent opted against it because of concerns of how their lady bits look.
As for men, 36 percent of men avoided sex because they were worried about their penis size.

Amongst the most shocking findings saw that nine per cent of the participants admitted to thinking about their colleagues during sex, 12 per cent check their phone and nine percent of men have turned to AI for sex advice instead of having an open chat with their partner.

Dr Crystal Wyllie from Asda Online Doctor said: "Sometimes we feel the need to lie about our pleasure or sexual experience so that we don't feel judged.
"But while it's a normal response, getting into the habit of being dishonest about our sexual habits can create emotional distance with a partner and make insecurities even worse.
"Open communication is key for a happy, healthy sexual relationship, so being honest about how we're feeling is a great first step."

This comes after thousands of couples around the world revealed their favourite time to get nookie - and the least raunchy time.
More than a third said they prefer to romp between 22:00 and 00:00, with 80 per cent agreeing that the ''sweet spot'' is specifically 22:09.
The second most popular window of time for some action was between 20:00 and 22:00 (27 per cent).
The least sexy time proved to be the early hours of the morning, with only a mere four per cent choosing to engage in the activity between 06:00 and 08:00.

Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A WOMAN has revealed how she grew her hair thicker using this simple £2 remedy from Asda. Taking to Reddit, she shared how she took her hair from the size of a pinky in a ponytail to long and luscious using this one clever hack. 5 A woman has shared her secret for thick hair Credit: Reddit 5 She said her thin hair pulled into a ponytail the size of her pinky Credit: Reddit 5 Coconut oil from Asda costs just £2 Credit: Asda Applying coconut oil to her hair is one full-proof way of ensuring it grows in length and thickness, she said. She added: " I put coconut oil in my ends and saturate them. I let that sit for at least three hours, or ideally overnight with my hair braided and a plastic bag on my head." The oil can be purchased from Asda for as little as £2, which has left many rushing to get their hands on a pot. One commenter, who shared their own problems with thinning hair, enthused: "Thank you so much! I'm going to incorporate your tips!" Whilst another added: "So happy to see this post." For other wonder hacks to maintain thick and healthy hair, content creator Gabriella Barras says anti-dandruff shampoo can do the trick. Gabriella who lives in Dubai, revealed the £6 Boots buy that 'works wonders' for hair loss. Not only this, but she also shared another product that is slightly more expensive, but is 'the best' for hair growth. Posting on social media, the blonde beauty shared a snap of her thinning hairline in March, followed by an image of her fuller hairline just one month later. Alongside the pictures, Gabriella said: 'This is what my hair looked like one month ago and this is what my hair looks like today.' I'm a hairdresser and red flag means your stylist is lying about your thin hair Gabriella then revealed: 'I got quoted 15,000 Dirhams at a hair clinic in Dubai to fix my hair problem - I started noticing that my hair was falling out, especially in my hairline, I was losing so much hair in the shower.' But without paying the shocking hair clinic fee and splashing the cash on expensive treatments, Gabriella was able to notice fast results thanks to two high-street products, as she beamed: 'Then within four weeks, I got it down to this, without any clinical treatment.' First things first, Gabriella expressed that Nizoral Anti-Dandruff Shampoo, which is currently on offer for just £6.12 from Boots, 'worked wonders' for her hairline. She acknowledged: 'This shampoo is game changing - I would wash my hair with this, leave it on my scalp for five minutes, let it soak in, and from the first wash of using this, I noticed a crazy difference.' Everything you need to know about hair loss Marie Nieuwoudt, a Group Education Manager at CLOUD NINE told Fabulous everything you need to know regarding hair loss. What are the common causes of hair loss? Marie explained: "There are so many reasons why someone may face hair loss. "The number one reason is usually hormonal changes or underlying health conditions (like thyroid conditions), and stress of course also plays a big part in changes to your hair health. "But another very common day-to-day cause is excessive damage to your hair created by mistakes in your styling routines – and this a big one to be aware of for people who are regularly applying heat to their hair! "It's important to know the right temperature for your hair type when using styling tools, as this is essential in reducing unintentional heat damage. "I also see a lot of people facing hair loss resulting from hereditary conditions, which are passed down from generation to generation." What are the best hairstyles people should try to reduce their hair loss? According to Marie: "Less is more when it comes to hair loss! It's important to be gentle with your hair, so a low-maintenance style that limits pulling on your scalp will be your best option. "Putting your hair up in a tight ponytail or adding hair clips can cause stress points at the roots. "Instead, try leaving your hair down, or out. "You're not limited in your options, but it pays to be intentional with your hair styling. Using tools which limit damage to your hair is vital. "Discussing your concerns with a hairdresser or hair loss specialist is also a great way to find styles that suit your specific needs, whilst still making sure you look and feel your best." How long does it take for hair loss to stop? If you're itching to know when your hair will grow back, Marie confirmed: "Hair loss is a personal journey – and it's different for everyone, so it's very difficult to put exact timings on this process. "Every head of hair is unique, and so too is your hair loss experience. "As always, you can speak to a professional hairdresser or trichologist about your specific concerns and hair changes, and they'll be able to help you manage those expectations. "I can't emphasise enough how important it is to be kind to your hair. Most people treat their hair quite roughly, and this is something you definitely want to avoid when dealing with hair loss in particular. "Make sure you're choosing products and styling routines that you know are good for your hair, rather than causing additional damage." Then, Gabriella highlighted that she also uses Regaine for Men Extra Strength Scalp Foam, which contains 5% Minoxidil. Gabriella stressed: 'This Regaine For Men is the best - every single night before I went to bed, I was dotting the Minoxidil all over my hairline.' Thrilled with the product, she claimed that it 'soaks in really well' and 'doesn't make your hair greasy.' The TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @gabriellabarras, has clearly left many open-mouthed, as it has quickly amassed 497,000 views. Not only this, but it's also racked up 20,900 likes, 471 comments and 23,700 saves.
