Sex and Relationships

Too busy for a dirty weekend

The dirty weekend is becoming a thing of the past as the pressures of modern life take their toll.

According to a new survey nearly two thirds of Britons in relationships have not had a romantic weekend away in the past year.

And despite 79 per cent of couples believing their relationship would benefit from a weekend away, 16 per cent have not had one for over five years.

And just over a quarter of those surveyed by Teletext Holidays said they have never indulged in a dirty weekend.

If they did get the chance, Britons know exactly what they would do with it.

Around 38 per cent admit that they would use a dirty weekend to be more sexually adventurous and a daring 16 per cent of men said they would don sexy underwear to spice things up.

The research found that the reason for the decline was the many pressures of modern life.

Nishma Patel of Teletext Holidays, said: "It's sad to see that modern life is taking its toll on romantic weekend breaks away."
