German men have been voted the world's worst lovers, narrowly ahead of the English. A poll of 15,000 women found that Germans were the worst in bed because they were considered "too smelly". English lovers came second because they were too lazy, while men from Sweden were branded "too quick" and came third. Spanish men topped the table as the best lovers, followed by Brazilians and Italians. The poll, carried out by www.OnePoll.com, asked women from 20 countries to rate nations on their ability in bed and give reasons for their answers. Other findings included that Dutch men were "too rough", Americans were "too dominating" while Greek men were said to be a bit too soppy. Other countries who didn't fare well in the poll were Scotland (too loud), Turkey (too sweaty) and Wales (too selfish). Russian men crept in at tenth place amid accusations they were too hairy for the average woman. A spokesperson for www.OnePoll.com added: "These results are an eye-opener for thousands of men around the world and female travellers might judge potential new lovers by looking at these results."
