Sex life is worst during the festive season: Survey

Most couples will be too drunk or full from over-eating to make love over the festive period, according to a major survey. Nearly 59% men and women in the poll conducted by sex shop chain Ann Summers said they were less likely to have sex at this time of year because they would have consumed too much food or drink.

Also, couples were less likely to get intimate because of stress, rows or fatigue. 70% men said the amount of sex they had over December dropped to an annual low, while 90% of women said their sexual appetite plunged throughout the holidays due to the stress of buying and wrapping presents.
