Cape Town - Forget young, free and single, the best sex is in marriage, according to a survey of 2 000 British women.
Two-thirds claim the best sex they have ever had has been within wedlock.
The survey is also good news for British men, with 76% of the women saying their partner was a "great lover".
The survey, by health and beauty magazine Top Sante, suggests sex need never be boring with 65% claiming their love life never went off the boil, even in long-term relationships.
Magazine editor Juliette Kellow said: "This survey turns on its head the idea that the best sex is when we are footloose, fancy free.
"The truth is, truly great sex and deep intimacy are most likely to happen within the trusting, committed environment of marriage or a long-term relationship."
Love and affection are the most important parts of a relationship, according to 83% of women, while 60% say they have sex on average nine times a month.
Eighty-two percent say it is possible to stay faithful forever.
Stress at work is the biggest reason for driving down sexual desire, according to 45%, while 55% want more sex. - ananova.com
