Here’s how many Irish gals have a one night stand on holidays

Do these figures check out?

If it’s abroad, it doesn’t count – right?

We don’t know if it’s the heat, the fact that you’re likely to be shaved ALL over or all the handsome foreigners that are about, but there’s something about being away that makes you feel frisky.

And why not? Nothing better than a holiday fling, especially the part when you’ll never bump into the lucky guy or gal again.

According to a new survey, plenty of Irish ladies feel this way as over a quarter of them admit to having a one night stand while on holidays.

Victoria Milan, a site for people with partners seeking to have an affair (not cool, btw), found that 26.6 per cent of female Irish respondents opt for a one-off hook-up on their hols, reports the Independent.

Perhaps surprisingly, we’re actually more likely to have a one night stand here in Ireland – one in three of us (34.5 per cent) says we prefer it at home rather than abroad.

Of the 15 countries surveyed, Ireland lies in the middle, coming eighth in the list of countries that enjoy a one night stand.

Women from Finland topped the list, with 44 per cent of them enjoying a romp on holidays and a fifth of them doing it at home.
