The main reason sex peaks in December is booze, with 77% of couples saying they are more likely to make love after they have been drinking together.

Saturday is the most popular day for passion with 36% of couples saying they are most likely to have sex on that day.

The peak day for passion in 2021 will be Saturday, December 18 when the Christmas holidays kick in and millions of people can look forward to two weeks off.

Cheating also peaks at Christmas time and Frisky Friday this year - when more people will be unfaithful than on any other day in 2021 - is on Friday, December 17 when many firms have their office Christmas parties.

The results are from a new survey by IllicitEncounters.com, the UK’s leading affairs site.

It found that four out of five people (81%) said that Christmas is the ‘ultimate aphrodisiac’ because it brings you closer to your partner.

A similar number of respondents (84%) say relatives sleeping nearby does not stop them from having sex over the Christmas break.

Half of those questioned (49%) said they had had sex in their old childhood bed with a partner while staying with their parents.

Almost four out of ten of those polled (38%) said that Christmas was the most likely time of the year when they would cheat on a partner.
