When it comes to getting down and dirty, we’re a nation that has sex on the brain. Yes ladies, apparently we’re all getting some – and a few of us are even getting it multiple times in one week.

The Irish Sun reports that according to a new naughty survey conducted by Newstalk, Irish people are having sex more than ever before. In the infamous words of Quagmire from Family Guy: giggidy!

Results from the survey revealed that nearly 58 per cent of us are doing it a few times a week and almost a fifth of Irish people are having more fun between the sheets than they did last year.

The survey found that a quarter of participants stated that they had cheated on a previous partner and almost 6 per cent have used a prostitute. Meanwhile, 16 per cent of people questioned admitted that they have done the dirt on their current partner.

“Back in the day, when one was lucky enough, one might have ‘played the field.’ It didn’t happen often and I would say it’s different when you’re just dating,” said one survey respondent.

“Once you commit to a long-term relationship you should be able to control yourself – as Twink would say, ‘Zip up yer mickey!’” the respondent added.

Charming or what?

So there you have it. If these results are anything to go buy, it shows that Ireland is slowly but surely starting to get more comfortable when it comes to the taboo topic of sex.

Do you think it’s time we all talked about it a bit more?
