For the survey, Pour Moi recruited 2,000 adults from the UK, Ireland, the US and Canada who were either in a relationship, actively dating or sexually active.

The results revealed that Saturday is clearly the favourite day for intimacy, with 43 per cent of respondents saying that this is their preferred day.
They were followed by Friday (22 percent), Sunday (10 percent), Thursday (six percent), Wednesday (five percent), Tuesday (four percent) and Monday (two percent).
