TAKE THE TEST
Circle the answers that best describe you
1 How often do you have sex?
A Once a fortnight. I'd like more, but I wait for my partner to initiate it.
B Regularly on holiday, but much less back home.
C Once a week, usually on a Saturday night.
D Once a month. I have to psych myself up these days.
2 Do you orgasm?
A Sometimes it depends whether my partner hits the spot.
B Rarely. Sex is usually an unsatisfying quickie.
C No. It's all about the missionary position for us - and that doesn't do the trick for me.
D Never. I often feel tired and unsexy, and sex can be painful.
3 Do you engage in much foreplay?
A Not really - I'm not certain what to do and my partner heads straight for the main event.
B Never-who has time for foreplay? C Not much - we stick to the same routine we've followed for years.
D No-I can't be bothered. I don't have the energy or the inclination.
