Ex-Made in Chelsea star Jamie Laing recently announced on his podcast, NearlyWeds, which stars his fiancée Sophie Habboo, that he used to picture his mum's face during sex with Sophie. While this may seem weird, Pippa Murphy, sex and relationship expert at condoms.uk has revealed that it is in fact surprisingly common and that there's a positive reason why this happens.
Pippa said: "While Jamie is brave to admit this, it's a lot more common than you may think and mostly happens to people that find themselves in a positive and happy relationship. If they have a good relationship with their parent(s), they may subconsciously think that their partner would make also make a good parent, which is why they think of their parent during sex.
"It's actually a compliment and a sign that you feel safe and comfortable with the person, just as you do with your parents. However, if you're in an unhappy relationship or not a relationship at all, it could be a major red flag.
