Estate agents have more sex than any other profession, a new poll has revealed.
Despite the long hours and stress of the credit crunch, lucky property gurus are still finding time to have fun between the sheets an average of four times a week
That's double the national average of twice a week.
Frisky cabin crew came second in the poll, having sex almost three times each week, closely followed by lawyers and secretaries.
Call centre workers completed the top five.
But the poll revealed that lorry drivers aren't quite so lucky, romping with their partner less than twice a week.
Those who work in customer services are also lagging behind in the sex stakes, along with nurses, teachers and librarians.
A spokesman for www.onjoy.com, which carried out the poll, said: ''Despite the declining property market, the stats show that estate agents are turning their cheeky chat and shrewd negotiating skills to other areas.
"With twice as much action between the sheets as other Brits they're clearly not letting the pressures affect their sex lives."
The poll, of 3,000 adults by www.onjoy.com, revealed that while the average Brit has to make do with two sex sessions each week, a lucky six per cent dive between the sheets with their partner at least once every day.
A whopping 55 per cent of people wish they had more sex than they do at the moment and 30 per cent admit they have a high sex drive.
More than 30 per cent of folk admitted to sleeping with a colleague, with 28 per cent of those even getting jiggy on work premises.
However, it was the very unromantic location of the toilets that was named as the most popular work location to have sex, closely followed by a desktop.
The kitchen, stationery cupboard and boardroom also featured high in the list.
Researchers also discovered that 56 per cent of folk have a crush on a work mate and 45 per cent have even had a sexy dream about someone from the office.
A spokesman for www.onjoy.com added: "We spend most of our time at work so it's not a shock that over half of us fancy a colleague.
"However, I am shocked that the toilets seem to be the top location for frisky encounters at work!"
