London - Nearly one woman in two would sleep with a new man on the first date if the mood was right, according to a new survey.

Of 5,000 women questioned for That's Life, a weekly women's magazine, 45 per cent said that if the mood was right they would sleep with a new partner on the first date. The "Love Life Survey of Great Britain" also showed that one in five women have had more than 10 sexual partners and nearly three-quarters freely admit they have slept with a man they did not love.
