Holidays are better than sex, according to study

Sex may be one of life’s great pleasures, but apparently it has none of the thrill of packing a bag and heading off on holiday.

Sex may be one of life’s great pleasures, but apparently it has none of the thrill of packing a bag and heading off on holiday.

A new survey of Australian men and women has found that if given the choice, we’d much rather holiday than have sex.

Travel platform Agoda.com surveyed 1000 Aussies about what activity got them most excited.

Holidays came out on top (57 per cent), followed by a romp in the hay (25 per cent), exercising (7 per cent) and a big night out (6 per cent).

Yep, apparently we’d rather this than sex.

Aussie women in particular would rather trade a night of passion to go on a trip. The survey found 69 per cent of women preferred sex to holidays, compared with 45 per cent of men.

Interest in holidays seemed to be higher among Aussies aged 55 and over (64 per cent), compared to those aged 18 to 24 (46 per cent).

Or you could combine both?

The age group that seemed most interested in sex was those aged 45 to 54 (30 per cent), compared to people aged 18 to 24 (20 per cent), which means there’s plenty of hope for many of us yet.

And the state that seemed to be the most interested in the prospect of sex was South Australia (28 per cent), followed by Queensland and Western Australia at 27 per cent, NSW at 23 per cent and Victoria at 21 per cent.
