Glamour Mag wedding night sex survey

GLAMOUR magazine's June issue includes a special wedding section to help ease the last-minute pre-nuptial jitters of the many women taking the marital plunge this month. The most intimate information comes from real couples polled in the "Wedding Night Sex Survey" detailing what Mr. and Mrs. Newlywed do in bed after the knot is tied. 100 recent brides were surveyed. Here are some of the results:

• 30% of respondents fell fast asleep and did not even have sex on the big night
  
• 25% had good wedding night sex
  
• 16% had great sex that night
  
• 97% of couples had already had sex before their wedding night (3% were still virgins)
  
• 43% of brides wore sexy lingerie on their wedding night, bought specially for the occasion
  
• 14% felt performance anxiety pressure about wedding night intimacy
  
• 45% of brides were carried over the threshold
  
• 26% of couples reported wedding night bloopers like forgetting birth control or passing out
  
• 40% of respondents would want to try their wedding night over again, differently--using hindsight
  
• 19% were exhausted the morning after, and needed a week straight of blissfully wedded sleep
  
  

GLAMOUR also helps rescue soon-to-be brides with foolproof tips from celebrities including "E! Entertainment" correspondent Melissa Rivers, comedienne Julie Brown and etiquette expert Peggy Post on how to circumnavigate familiar wedding conflicts like inviting ex-boyfriends to the wedding; preventing tasteless toasts; including stepparents in the ceremony; and wearing your mother's wedding dress. Melissa Rivers suggests letting one groom's blue-blood family foot the bill because the bride's parents could not afford as much. "If you have the opportunity to go first class--the best florist, limitless champagne--by all means, go for it. You only get married once, right?" says Rivers.

The June issue also features a Build A Perfect Wedding Guide with complete wedding planning assistance; steamy Wedding Night Confessions; and horrifying All-Time Worst Wedding Catastrophes. The June issue of GLAMOUR hits newsstands on May 11. The magazine has a readership of more than 12 million.
