British lovers leave their famed Latin counterparts standing, according to a new international sex league table.

The 2003 Durex Global Sex Survey found that Hungarians have the most voracious sexual appetites, managing sex 152 times a year. But Britons came in not far behind with 135.

The table showed Italians had sex 119 times a year, Spaniards posted a total of 123, the Americans managed 118 and the Germans 120. The average is 127, down from the figure of 139 last year.

Figures also showed 44% of Britons using vibrators and other sex toys, with 42% using pornography and 38% keen on using handcuffs and bondage in their sex lives.

Research found 54% have had a one-night stand, while 52% have had phone, text or email sex.

Meanwhile 42% of people said they faked an orgasm, while more than a third of people surveyed said they were unhappy with their sex life.

The online survey involved 150,000 men and women, aged from 16 to 70 and from across 34 countries.

David Beckham further boosted Britain's image by being named the world's sexiest male celebrity.

But while the football icon has achieved global domination, Britons put pop romeo Justin Timberlake as their most fanciable man.

Jennifer Lopez was crowned sexiest female celebrity, with Aussie singer Holly Valance being Britain's number one.
