Commissioned by Superdrug, the results also noted that Saturdays are collectively more popular than every other day.
Together, 11.30am, 10.30pm and 11.30pm on the first day of the weekend made the top five time-slots, while Friday at 10:30pm was also a favourite.

Alix Fox, from the high street chemist, said: 'It's all too easy for sex to slip into a robotic routine, especially in long-term relationships.

'I'm not at all surprised that Sunday mornings are such a popular slot for sexiness: people are relaxed, and have more time on their hands.'
