Women drink before sex 'because they lack the confidence to do it sober'

Researchers examining the link between sexual habits and alcohol consumption among 3,000 women found that half preferred sex after a tipple.

Women said alcohol helped them lose their inhibitions and become more adventurous between the sheets.

The study found that 75 per cent of women like to drink a glass of wine or two immediately before getting into bed with their husband or boyfriend.

Six per cent of women have never had sober sex, the survey revealed.

Kathryn Lakeland of Femfresh, the cosmetics brand which carried out the study, said a lack of confidence was the main concern of most women.

She said: "These results are a clear indication that British women today are severely lacking in confidence.

"The fact that alcohol plays an integral role in their love lives shows that women are looking for a boost in self-esteem when it comes to their bedroom antics.
