Despite having sex the least often, Geordies are the most likely to finish during sex.
They do the deed twice a week on average - the lowest average in the UK - but typically have 2.8 orgasms during sex. With 1.26 climaxes per session, they are the most effective lovemakers in the country.
The five UK cities that are most likely to orgasm during sex are: Newcastle, Bristol, Leeds, Liverpool and Southampton.

On average, they make love 3.8 times a week (second only to Bristol’s 3.9) but only have 3 orgasms, which is the lowest orgasm-to-sex session ratio in the UK (84%). Cardiff comes a close second, only climaxing 85% of the time. Sheffield was next after Norwich with Manchester rounding off the top five.
The good news for these cities is that orgasms aren’t essential for sexual satisfaction.
Despite having the fewest orgasms per week (2.3), Sheffield residents are the most content with their sex lives, with 52% saying they are sexually satisfied.
