Sinister: Smut here, get your smut here

[FourJacksAndAJill]

This was something I ran across in the newsgroups--what say you, UK
listees, any truth to this?  Maybe the B&S festival will have to provide
an increase in sexual activity (albeit with many other horny foreigners
who also have good taste in music).

LONDON -- British sex lives are sizzling, with people making love an
average of 81 times a year, 10 more than last year, a survey showed
today.

The 1999 Durex Report, a survey of 8,000 love lives, also found the
following:

:: Yorkshire is the sexiest region in Britain, with its inhabitants
making love an average of 92 times a year, more than 20% up on last year.
Scotland comes second with a figure of 91, and then the North West of 
England with 90.

:: Midlanders are going against the trend by having sex less often. Their
total of 71 occasions, down from 73 last year, puts them bottom of the
provincial passion league.

:: People are willing to make love in a variety of places, with 50% or
more respondents admitting they would consider getting down to it in a
car, in the bath or shower, on a beach, or even in the woods.

:: The most popular location is, unsurprisingly, at home in bed, where
92% of people would be willing. Among the more adventurous, 22% of people
would consider sex in a nightclub, 29% in the office, and even, said 14%,
in a taxi.

:: While 79% of both men and women said they preferred making love
without distraction, some admitted their minds wandered. Almost a third
of adults confessed to fantasising about a celebrity during sex, and 36%
to fantasising about someone from their past.
                                                          
:: A further 7% of people had more prosaic matters on their minds during
passionate moments - they were thinking about watching television.

:: The overwhelming factor to put people off sex is bad breath, with 49%
of respondents saying this kills the mood for them. Some 15% say children
in the house is also a turn-off.

:: But people with poor memories can be reassured - perhaps surprisingly,
only 14% are put off their passion by someone calling them by the wrong
name. Additionally, only 1% of those polled objected strongly to bad
taste in underwear.

:: Some 9% of people admitted to having unsafe sex with a new partner,
the same as last year, although fewer young people took risks.

:: Of those who failed to use a condom with a new partner, 22% disliked
using them, 30% were caught up in the passion of the moment - and 4% were
simply too embarrassed to suggest using one.
