Some people believe sex is like pizza, so even when it’s bad, they still think it’s pretty good. But that’s not necessarily the case for many lovers. In fact, according to a survey of 2,000 people by Pure Romance, 30 percent of them will give a new partner just one chance to wow them in the bedroom.

Luckily, most people aren’t that quick to kick a new partner out of bed. On average, people will give someone 4.5 chances to impress them in bed before giving up on the relationship.
