Half of women prefer to wear clothes during sex
Nearly half of all women are so body conscious they prefer to keep their clothes on during sex, it has been found.
48 percent of women say they like to wear items of clothing including a bra, negligee or high-heels while having it away with their partner.
The overriding reason is to 'improve body confidence' with a third of women who wear a bra during sex saying they do so because their breasts look better while 24 percent claimed they just felt ‘sexier’.
However, 61 percent of women claim they always enjoy sex more with the lights off because it allows them to hide their bodies.
Bras where the most commonly worn item during sex (68%) followed by a negligee (59%) high heels (40%) dresses (36%) knickers (31%) -- surprisingly few owned up to a nurses uniform.
A spokesperson for MyCelebrityFashion.co.uk, which conducted the poll of 1,563 people, said: "This research has really unveiled how large a part clothes play when it comes to female body confidence.
"The fact that such a large proportion of women claim to feel sexier with an item kept on suggests that, whilst body confidence might be low, clothes can really improve a woman’s self-image.
"Yet women need to remember that men really don’t care about their wobbly bits, as proved by the fact that 63% of men prefer to keep the lights on.
"There’s no right or wrong in the bedroom, clothes on or off; everyone has their own preferences after all!"
