Fifty Shades of Wahey! Two Thirds of Irish People Have Sex Every Week…But Are We Enjoying it?

When it comes to getting down and dirty, we’re a randy nation. In fact, two thirds of Irish people have sex every single week. Not bad, right? There’s just one problem – half of us don’t actually enjoy it.

The Irish Sun reports that a worldwide sex survey has found that when it comes to doing the horizontal tango, we can definitely hold our own in terms of frequency but pleasure? Eh…that’s another story.

Let’s break it down...

The survey, which was carried out by Durex, revealed that 66 per cent of Irish people get up to some dirty divilment with their partners at least once every week, but only 54 per cent of that number actually reach orgasm.

So we’re going mad doing it, but we can’t finish things so to speak. Well, you know what they say: God loves a trier, right? We’re not exactly sure he’d approve of this filthy behaviour, but at least us Irish folk are dedicated to the cause.

Compared to other countries, Ireland ranked in 25th place based on how often we bump uglies. Want to know who is getting the most? Columbia bypassed us all to take the top spot.

And who is getting the least? Only 1 in 4 Japanese people have sex at least once a week. Hmm…maybe they should spend some time in Columbia…

In Ireland, the average couple spends 16.7 minutes on foreplay and 17.3 minutes on the actual nitty gritty – yes, we’re sure you desperately needed to know that.

Finally, Ireland scored 4th in the world in terms of using a condom. Yes ladies, we’re setting an example for safe sex for our international counterparts. If that isn’t something to be proud of, we’re not sure what is.
