Phwoar! 6 out of 10 women think sex with an ex is a GREAT idea

We've all had those moments of madness where we think to ourselves: "What if…" 

But if you never let those thoughts materialise into actions, you may be less common than you think. 

According to a survey by Illicit Encounters, 6 out of 10 women not only think about having sex with an ex-lover, but actively pine for it. 

Yep, and over a third of women would consider meeting up with an ex if they were approached on a social media site such as Facebook. 

Another surprising statistic from the survey revealed that only 44% of women said their best sex was with their current partner (compared to 71% of men.) 

"We have found the ‘greener grass syndrome' is a significant driver of female registrations," said Christian Grant, a spokesperson for Illicit Encounters. 

"Women are becoming increasingly sexually assertive and less prepared to settle for second best in a relationship.

"Women don’t tend to marry the guy they had great sex with. They marry for more ‘sensible’ attributes – like whether he’ll be loyal and a good father." 

Other fascinating results of the survey concluded that: 

• Over 56% of women admitted they had their best sex with previous partners rather than their current one 
• 59% regularly fantasise about sex with previous partners 
• Only 4% of women said their best sex was with a one night stand (and only 3% of men said the same)
