Women admit sex positions they find most romantic - and men agree with them

With Valentine's Day quickly approaching, we'll soon all be getting ourselves into a hot mess over what to do, when and how much to spend on it.

But let us take some of the stress away by revealing the most romantic sex positions you and your partner could try out on the night.

The answers were revealed as part of a survey, conducted by Euroclinix which asked 2,000 adults which positions they found most romantic.

In some ways it's no surprise that both men and women think that missionary is the most romantic position with a combined total of 56 percent opting to for this as their favourite.

Women liked it more than men however, with 64 percent of ladies putting it as their first choice while just 48 percent of men made it their most popular position.

Guys also snuck in a preference for a slightly different kind of missionary position too, with eight per cent claiming that anal sex was dead romantic. The ladies didn't seemed to agree. Shocking.

Also rated highly, again with both men and women agreeing, was spooning. Coming in second place, this position seems to offer the intimacy people are looking for in their celebration of St Valentine.

More agreement between men and women was prevalent in the third most popular choice, which was cowgirl. That got four per cent of the votes with women and 10 per cent with men.

The reverse cowgirl didn't get any love from participants though, because it's just not that romantic staring at someone's back.

Finally, in fifth place, was doggy. No idea how that got in as romantic, perhaps everyone had run out of sex positions they could recall off the top of their heads. Still, actual dogs probably find it the height of sophistication.

Presumably we could all make sex a lot more romantic by throwing some rose petals about and saying nice things to each other, so perhaps give that a go too.
