An Australian escort has shared which professions make men better at sex in her professional opinion.

Katija Cortez, 28, a sex worker based in Sydney, started to see a common theme after years of seeing all types of men.

She compiled her top four professions that are generally excellent in bed - and some of them may surprise you.

Katija told news.com.au that in at number four were personal trainers - a profession you might have imagined would rank higher - given that they're fit and active, and - presumably - have lots of stamina.

She explained: "This means they have good strength and stamina and maintain a healthy lifestyle. This translates fantastically in the bedroom."

In at third are medical professionals as they have a better-than-standard understanding of how the human body works.

"This should come as no surprise that anyone with a university level understanding of female anatomy would be incredibly good in bed because they know exactly where everything is,” she stated.

"These men know exactly what they are doing when it comes to stimulating the female body."

In at number two is professional athletes and sports stars as they are "much more in tune with their bodies and how to move them," which of course helps in the bedroom as much as on the field.

But who gets the coveted top spot?

It may come as a surprise that Katija rates construction workers as the best lovers, explaining: "Who doesn’t love a tradie [construction worker]? There is just something so hot about the thought of a man doing something gritty and manly.

"I think this is a huge part of the allure of the tradie [construction worker] which taps into something primal as a female, as not only do tradies [construction worker] have a real practical job, but it’s seeing a man do manly, rugged things, or a man who works hard and plays harder when he gets home."

Doing such a physically demanding job means they also "typically have a lot of upper body strength" which works well between the sheets, too.

If you (or your man) don't happen to work in one of these industries, all is not lost, however.

Katija confirms that there are always "outliers" who work in desk jobs that are also great in the bedroom.

She explained: "On average, men who are healthier and of good physical fitness tend to be better performers than those who are unhealthy or unfit.

"So, those with jobs that demand peak physical fitness tend to be much better performers than those whose jobs require them to sit down all day. The outliers here are those men with desk jobs who ensure they keep up their physical fitness outside of work."

If you wish to improve your prowess, Katija recommends: "Prioritize endurance training, know how to use what you have got, and don’t be a selfish lover."

That's pretty sage advice.

An escort has spoken out to reveal why she thinks a lot of men pay for her services - as dating gets ever more expensive.

The ongoing cost of living crisis has hit most people hard, and many have been cutting down their spending on anything but the essentials.

And while you may assume using professional sex workers may come under that umbrella, apparently the opposite is the case.

One escort has revealed that business has been booming as men claim that paying for sex i actually cheaper than having a girlfriend.

Escort Katija Cortez, 28, claims that many of her clients have told her it's cheaper for them to meet with her than it is to traditionally date a woman.

She told News.com.au: "They tell me that once you add up wining and dining over multiple dates, gifts, and then also the cost of their time that it takes to do all of this - it all adds up.

"When you see a sex worker, you can see her as often or as little as suits your schedule.

"I doubt that many girls that these men could date traditionally would be happy seeing their man for only one scheduled hour a week."

She revealed that it also had the added benefit of taking up little of their time, meaning the men she sees were able to work longer hours and make more money without the guilt of neglecting a partner at home, and still fit seeing her into their busy schedules.

Katija explained: "Men these days are all about working smarter, not harder. Relationships are hard work. Whereas for less hassle and apparently less money, you can get all the same things you get out of a relationship with a sex worker, just without all of the commitment."

In what may be rather depressing news for the hopeless romantics out there, she added that men "don't think how women think", and have done a "cost-benefit analysis" on which works out as better value, and are finding that "seeing an escort turns out to be a much more financially viable decision."

Katija added: "Almost every single one of my clients are doing this cost-benefit analysis and tell me that seeing me is exponentially more beneficial to them, their time and money, than meeting a girl at a club."

She also believes that many of the men who use her services have little time to invest in dating because of their demanding careers as "CEOs, entrepreneurs, lawyers, doctors, and financiers," so do not want the distraction of a conventional relationship.

Finding 'the one' can be hard enough at the best of times, and online dating can be a minefield of wasted evenings meeting people you discover you have little interest in spending time with.

She also believes this has had an impact on her own business booming, adding: "People are just too busy working, they’re too busy trying to make money and guys are just over dating."

In a world where porn is never more than a finger tip away, sexual experimentation has become increasingly exotic. While your favorite sex position is (thankfully) yet to feature in a standard “Get to know” section on your company biography page, the most-requested sexual position men ask an escort for has been revealed.

Despite there being an online archive, a copulative catalog, if you will, of raunchy coital positions, vanilla prevails, according to Australian escort Lilith Lodge.

The plainness of vanilla is preferred

The seasoned, Brisbane-based sex worker confirmed that the position many consider sexual bread and butter remains the firm favorite, with missionary still the most requested position from her horny clients.

"Most clients are very basic and standard in what they want," Lodge said to Metro. "It's not super common, definitely not a weekly event, to have clients ask for something outside of what I feel is 'normal'. It's pretty much just missionary."

She added: "It can be very uncomfortable and not enjoyable for my clients to do crazy positions, unless they're a really young guy. Sometimes they'll ask for missionary with my feet up behind my head, (which not everyone is flexible enough to do), but that's about it."

This lovemaking crowd-pleaser, where the woman lies flat on her back with her legs spread eagle, allows the two participants to stare lovingly at each other, arguably in the most intensely intimate of positions.

What makes missionary such a sexual staple?

According to Bodyjoys, a website that specialises in relationship and intimacy advice, the position is a go-to for first-time couples in particular, who are still ascertaining mutual enjoyment. Its simplicity allows partners to focus on forming connection, rather than deploying flexibility-testing movements that can be both challenging and exposing.

The site explains: "Missionary position is the go-to for many first-time couples as it allows them to create a greater connection. Eye contact enhances the emotional connection and makes for a much more sensual experience.

"The close proximity of both partners also makes missionary position a winner when it comes to communication. You can adequately communicate what you like and dislike through noises, faces and movements while still enjoying a sensual experience."

However, Dr. Louise Goddard-Crawley told Metro that the position isn't for everyone. She claimed that while it offers emotional advantages, it may not suit some people physically.

"It also may feel more restrictive compared to other positions that allow for greater movement and range of motion," the psychologist declared. "For some, the missionary position may place pressure on joints, especially the lower back and knees, potentially causing discomfort or pain for extended periods."

A new survey has explored the sex positions women enjoy the most, with the findings suggesting emotional connection and comfort often matter more than the hypersexualized coital exchanges popularized in the media and online.

Pornography has warped our perception of sexual ‘norms’, from where it takes place and who it’s with, to how it is ultimately carried out — the depictions have become increasingly experimental, and in some cases, illegal.

The research, conducted by Seduced AI, analysed responses from 2,590 women across the UK and the US to better understand female sexual preferences.

According to a spokesperson for the company, many people place unrealistic expectations on themselves and their partner because of what they see online.

“There is a big difference between what people see in porn and what actually feels good in bed,” the spokesperson explained.

“A lot of people try to recreate it and feel like they’re doing something wrong. Trying out new kinks is always exciting, but the pleasure and comfort of all people involved should be a priority.”

The research's findings

The January 2026 report found that women were more likely to enjoy partnered sex when emotional intimacy, communication, and eye contact played a central role.

“Positions that require flexibility, stamina, or specific body types shouldn't be the standard everyone tries to match,” the spokesperson added. “Different bodies have different comfort zones, and that's completely normal.”

They continued: “When both people feel heard and comfortable enough to adjust what isn't working, sex life and romantic life both get better. That's the difference between performing for an imaginary audience and actually enjoying what you’re doing here and now.”

The most popular sex positions for women

The survey found that missionary was the most popular choice overall, with 10 percent of women naming it as their preferred position.

Respondents said the face-to-face nature of the position helped create a stronger emotional connection, while small adjustments, such as using pillows for support, could also increase comfort and pleasure.

Doggy style ranked as the second most popular position, chosen by 9 percent of respondents.

While it involves less eye contact, participants described it as “highly satisfying,” with many saying the physical sensations made up for the reduced intimacy.

Receiving oral sex was the third most popular preference, selected by 7.2 percent of women surveyed, ranking above several other sex positions.

Many respondents said they enjoyed being able to “focus on receiving stimulation and pleasure” without feeling pressure to reciprocate at the same time, allowing them to fully relax and enjoy the experience.

The survey concluded that, despite how sex is often portrayed in mainstream media, many women prioritize comfort, connection, and communication over overly elaborate experiences.

A woman has taken to social media to claim that there is one telling body part that can give away your sexual prowess.

While medical professionals have commented on similar claims in the past, it turns out that there may be a better way to tell if one is good between the sheets, if social media is to be believed.

In the past, Dr. Rena Malik, a well-known urologist and health educator, revealed that a large nose is a sign of a large penis.

But it turns out that one single act involving a particular body part is a decent indicator of whether a man is a good lover.

It may sound bizarre, but tell that to the thousands of people who liked the viral post on X.

Fingers might the answer

X user @M binya__ has boldly claimed that it's all to do with your fingers, writing: "You can tell if a man is a good f***er by the way he finger f***s you."

The rather vulgar and explicit message was agreed upon by at least 18,000 users, as many took to the comments to share their own thoughts on this opinion.

One wrote: "Women really out here giving tutorials to grown men meanwhile our toys came pre-installed with the skills."

Another joked: "Some men finger like they are searching for lost car keys."

A third pointed out: "I knew from the way he kissed me," while a fourth penned: "Good technique is cool but actually listening to your partner is what separates confidence from competence."

While this point hasn't been scientifically backed, the claim seems to have resonated with women on the platform.

What body parts indicate penis size?

During an appearance on the Diary of a CEO podcast, Dr. Rena Malik explained: "There’s one study - it’s a Japanese study where they looked at only Japanese men so there are some limitations - but they measured all these body parts and penile length and they found that nose length was correlated with penile length, not hand length or foot."

Apparently, there was a "significant correlation" between the size of a man’s nose and his "stretched penile length."

"The study found that men with larger noses had a longer penile length," Dr. Malik stated.

The data suggested that men with noses measuring around 2.2 inches (5.5 cm) typically had an average length of 5.3 inches downstairs.

Those with smaller noses - around 1.8 inches (4.5 cm) had an average 4.1-inch penis.

The correlation isn't always correct

Dr. Malik explained that this link isn’t just a coincidence, with this connection likely starting in the womb.

It is believed that the same testosterone which forms a male fetus's genitals, also helps with the development of facial features.

But it should be highlighted that the correlation isn't the be-all and end-all.

A larger nose doesn't mean that a man is packing downstairs, and nor does a smaller nose mean the inverse.

As it is with every other physical feature, genetics, health, and ethnicity have a part to play.
