THE property market may be tanking in many
parts of the world, but real estate agents in the UK are probably
still smiling.
That’s because a raunchy new survey by an online adult retailer
has revealed that estate agents have more sex than any other
profession.
The Daily Mirror reported that property agents have found a way
to relieve the stress of the credit crunch with those working in
the housing business having sex four times a week – double the
national average.
Cabin crew came in second, rocking the headboard three times a
week, followed closely by lawyers, secretaries and call-centre
workers .
Lorry drivers
At the other end of the spectrum, lorry drivers were found to be
the worst when it comes to sex – they only manage to get under the
covers twice a week.
Librarians, nurses, teachers and customer services
representatives followed lorry drivers as the worst jobs to have
when it comes to sex.
A spokesman for www.onjoy.com, which carried out the
poll of 3,000 adults, said: ‘Despite the declining property market,
estate agents are turning their cheeky chat and negotiating skills
to other areas.
‘With twice as much action between the sheets as other Brits,
they’re not letting the pressures affect their sex lives.’
Nearly a third of those polled also confessed to bedding a
colleague, with 28 per cent getting up to no good on work
premises.
While lorry drivers may have topped the list as the worst job
for sex, they still did better than the average Singaporean.
According to the 2007/2008 Durex sexual well-being survey, the
average Singaporean has sex about 62 times a year, or roughly once
a week.
