YOUNG women are no longer just lying back and thinking of England, they are actively seeking out sexual partners - even more so than men.

A survey has revealed young British women are more promiscuous than their male counterparts and more likely to be unfaithful.

The study of 2000 women in the UK, commissioned by More magazine, found that by the age of 21, women have had an average of nine sexual partners - two more than their male partner.

It also found a quarter of young women have slept with more than 10 partners in the first five years since losing their virginity, compared with 20 per cent of young men.

The average age at which respondents lost their virginity was 16.

More than half of respondents said they were not in love with the person they lost their virginity to and only 32 per cent believed it was important to be in love with someone before they had sex with them.

But if a woman met someone she really liked, 56 per cent would make him wait "a month or more" before she would have sex with him.
