A recent survey, designed to look at the nations sexual habits, has gone a long way to explaining what the men and women of the UK are really getting up to in bed.
This research says that 7.37PM is officially the most popular time of the week to have sex. This really is ‘sex o clock’ in UK households.
However, the time when couples most desire sex and when they actually do it differs by around three hours.
Fewer Opportunities
The time when we are most aroused is 4.33pm on a Saturday, but obviously there are fewer opportunities to have sex in the late afternoon. Obviously with children to look after, and shopping to do, it is more difficult to get up to the bedroom!
The survey showed that our sex lives are a constant battle between desire and opportunity.
A quarter of us are most aroused first thing in the morning, yet only 10 per cent make love at that time because of the need to get up for work, or do the school run.
The findings come after a survey of 3,000 people by sex toy firm Lovehoney.
It also found that 62 per cent couples regularly have ‘date nights’ , where they have specific days of the week that they can keep free for romance. On these days, 88% of the couples end up having sex.
Alcohol is, possibly surprisingly, not a key component of most couples’ foreplay. Apparently 60 per cent of couples say they rarely drink before having sex. Less than a quarter said they often boozed 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.
A Hectic Life
These results can be taken two ways due to the sex being scheduled. The ‘glass half empty person’ will see this as being formulaic and not at all romantic. The ‘glass half full person’ will see this as couples actually making time for each other in an otherwise hectic life.
For me, this is the jist of it. Life is so rushed these days, that you either schedule things in, or you don’t do them at all. Couples who want to make love actually take the time to make sure it happens. This can only lead to a happier relationship.
This is one of the reasons the female companionship of the Aberdeen escorts is so valued by the guys in Scotland. Their lives may be hectic, but they can book the company of one of the escorts in Aberdeen. This gives them the chance of a bit of personal time away from the rigors of the world.
And in the end, whether we are in a relationship or not, that is something we all need!
