According to a 2019 survey, it seems both men and women have particular red flags when it comes to performing in the bedroom.
While the ideal amount of time men should aim to last for has been revealed by past surveys, with one standing at 16 minutes and another at 25 minutes, what you should do in that time can be a complete minefield for many.
Well, worry no more, as while a dating expert highlighted that foreplay is key, a survey has pointed out a few things you should probably avoid.

IllicitEncounters.com, a site used by those specifically looking for affairs, asked 2,000 people for their biggest turn-offs, showcasing a number of similarities and the 10 most common answers.
While things such as insisting on having the lights off and remaining silent during sex are apparently big turn-offs for men, the list looks strikingly different for women.
According to the survey, for women, it’s all to do with bad technique and inappropriate behaviours.
In fact, 64 percent of women admitted they would rather not hear about their previous sexual experiences with past partners.
Making our way down the list, 58 percent of women admitted they really didn’t like it when men assumed that sex was over once they had reached completion.
The third was having pets in the bedroom, and in all fairness, who likes having animals in the same room where you’re trying to get down and dirty?

Some other noteworthy inclusions on the list were cheating in the past for both men (48 percent) and women (37 percent), despite the purpose of the website which carried out the survey.
Self-awareness is always key, eh?
Here’s the full list:
Top 10 turn-offs for women

Jessica Leoni, a sex and relationship expert for IllicitEncounters.com, explained: “New relationships are all about discovery and learning about people’s past lives, but some topics are a real no-no, especially in the first few weeks of dating.”
“If you admit that you are a cheat on one of your first dates, expect your new partner to do the same – creating mistrust on both sides which could well kill the relationship before you get started,” she added.
