Almost half say rising energy bills have seen them turn the heating off and get busy under the covers to keep warm.

And 42 per cent say that inflation has seen them swap nights out for sizzling nights in.

When it comes to the celebs ladies would most like to wake up
alongside in 2023, most opted for actor Tom Hardy and Three Lions hero Jack Grealish.

Our findings come from a poll of 2,036 men and women across the UK carried out exclusively for The Sun on Sunday by Perspectus Global.

The majority we questioned seem satisfied in bed — with two thirds saying they usually orgasm.

Many respondents also said that porn played a key role in their sex lives and that they owned an array of sex toys.

Our poll indicated large numbers of Brits would like to try teledildonics — where sex toys are controlled over the internet or via a remote control.

A further 15 per cent would like to try virtual reality porn — where users get to become active participants in their fantasies.

Of those looking for love online, 79 per cent said they would be up for sex on the first date if they clicked with their online match.

And our poll found that Fridays and Saturdays are the days we get the most passion.

Only three per cent of those polled said they ever have sex on a Monday.
