Sex O'Clock: Survey reveals 9am on Sunday is the most popular time to get intimate - but don't expect passion to peak at 9pm on a Tuesday!
- EXCLUSIVE: Superdrug quizzed 2,000 adults for their most popular times for sex
- They discovered that Saturday accounted for 3 of the top 5 times to do the deed
- While 8 of the top 10 least popular times were found to be during the weekdays
You're not alone if you enjoy morning sex on the Sabbath.
New research shows that 9am on a Sunday is the most popular time of the week for British couples to get busy between the sheets.
While Tuesday at 9pm is the least desirable opportunity for intimacy, according to a survey of 2,000 adults.
The eyebrow-raising research quizzed those in advance of Valentine's Day and provides a very personal insight into typical sexual relations.
Timing is everything: More than 2,000 couples were quizzed on their bedroom antics which found that 9am on a Sunday is the most popular time to have sex
Commissioned by Superdrug, the results also noted that Saturdays are collectively more popular than every other day.
Together, 11.30am, 10.30pm and 11.30pm on the first day of the weekend made the top five time-slots, while Friday at 10:30pm was also a favourite.
Previous research from 2014 - conducted by Lovehoney.com - also suggests we desire sex far more in the summer.
That was named the sexiest season by two-thirds of respondents, followed by winter (16 per cent), spring (14 per cent) and autumn (4 per cent)
Our pre and post sex activities also suggest that we are a nation of romantic lovers with 60 per cent of couples stating that alcohol is not a key component of most couples’ foreplay.
Less than a quarter (22 per cent) said they often drank alcohol before love-making.
The most popular activity prior to sex was a romantic meal, followed by watching TV, talking intimately, going to the pub and a night out with friends.
Conveniently, Superdrug co-ordinated their research with the launch a new range of of sexual lubricants.
Alix Fox, from the high street chemist, said: 'It's all too easy for sex to slip into a robotic routine, especially in long-term relationships.
'There's a risk that if couples default to doing the deed in the same way and at the same time, every time, things can soon become stale and boringly predictable.
'I'm not at all surprised that Sunday mornings are such a popular slot for sexiness: people are relaxed, and have more time on their hands.'
