Brits ditching the gym for a bit of nookie

An increasing number of Brits are choosing to have more sex instead of renewing their gym membership.

That is according to a survey by sextoys.com, which found that 48 per cent of gym-goers will be cancelling their membership and, of these, 38 per cent will having a bit of nookie to keep in shape instead.

Playing away from home could be the perfect way to keep in shape amid VAT hikes and the post-Christmas squeeze.

According to sextoys.com, the average Brit has sex three times per week, with each time lasting around 24 minutes.

This burns off roughly 450 calories, which is equivalent to three low-impact aerobic sessions.

Sextoys.com spokeswoman Monique Carty said: "We weren't surprised at the results.

"Sex gives you a complete body workout and is cheaper and more enjoyable than the gym, plus, getting motivated isn't as hard!"

Findings also reveal that 45 per cent of people put more effort into a bit of nookie than they do a gym workout because they enjoy it more.
