The link between dating and good sex

American dating service Match recently released its annual 'Singles in America' survey.

The survey aimed to look at dating trends in 2018.

What makes good sex?

According to the survey, good sex involved caring for each other coupled with enthusiasm, good communication, skilled kissing and an orgasm.

Of the 5,000 respondents who took the survey, 52 per cent said bad sex, after a few times, was a deal-breaker.

Of these, 14 per cent said that bad sex even the first time was unacceptable.

What is bad sex?

Both genders agreed that bad sex involved 'too much talking, no spark and little movement from one’s partner.'

For men, it meant leaving the lights on. Not hearing the words 'I love you,' ruined the moment.

On the other hand, 'bad kissing' and 'not enough foreplay' put off women.

According to the survey, women experience the best sex when they are 66 years old. Men have the best sex at 64.

Reaching an orgasm, was an important part of sex, the survey hinted.

Eighty per cent respondents said they 'cared whether or not their partner reaches orgasm.'

What's the secret to orgasm?

Scientists revealed that the 'golden trio' to be the key for female orgasm.

For the uninitiated, the golden trio involves 'deep kissing, manual stimulation of the genitals and oral sex, in addition to vaginal intercourse.'
