GREAT SEX-PECTATIONS!

Gemma Nice, 42, challenged her husband to a romp-a-thon to see whose libido was highest

- CHARLOTTE OWEN

A well-trodden theory is that men have the highest sex drives and it's even been claimed they think about doing the deed every seven seconds. But I, like many women that I meet through my work as a sex and relationships coach, would definitely disagree and argue that our libidos are just as high, if not higher.

I'm confident that I love sex just as much as my husband of 24 years, Darren, 47.

To put that to the test, I challenged him to a 'sex war', which involved us having as much nookie as possible daily until one of us reached the point of saying, 'Nooooo-oh more!'

From outdoor romps to quickie sofa sessions, here's how we got on...

DAY 1

It’s 5.30am on the first morning and I lean over to Darren with a smile on my face. ‘Shall we get started?’ I ask, and discover he’s been awake since 5am thinking about sex. I suddenly feel the odds to win this war are stacked in his favour if it’s on his mind this early.

We squeeze in a 15-minute quickie and we both climax, probably due to the excitement of our challenge being officially underway.

We're off to a good start and I'm sure I will win, but Darren is adamant he has more in the tank than me.

That's all we can manage today as we're too tired when we finally get a bit of peace from the kids at 9.30pm.

It seems even with something as exciting as this, the stresses of everyday life can still put a dampener on things.

DAY 2

Generally, our sex life has always been good, but kids, jobs and everyday life have had an impact.

Pre-kids we had sex three to four times a week, and we've been spontaneous and adventurous from the moment we first met. We've both always been into sex and have had a very healthy sex life.
