These are the worst words you can utter during sex, survey finds

Have you ever come out with this?

There are mood-killers – and then there’s THIS.

Humans enjoy sex as much as the next creature (obvs) but sometimes, we can be our own worst enemies.

Talking during sex is contentious – some people love it, others really don’t – but if you do run your mouth in bed, there are a few things you probably shouldn’t mention.

The worst things people say in the middle of it have been revealed in a new survey.

Unsurprisingly, number one is saying the wrong name.

It tops the list for both men and women as the absolute worst thing to say while in the act.

Other than that, the sexes differ on their major turn-offs.

For women, the second worst thing to say is ‘I can’t do it’, followed by ‘I’m going soft’.

The second worst thing to say to a man is, bizarrely, ‘I need a poo’, followed by ‘What’s the time?’ and ‘Is that it?’.

The survey was conducted by Saucy Dates, a site that allows users to arrange casual hookups.

5,024 members from around the world took part and it’s fair to say things got weird.
