Randy romp of a 'novel' Fifty Shades of Grey makes people rather up for it of an evening, a shock survey has revealed.
The raunchy book, which has been made into a film and is released this week, has been well documented as getting ladies in the mood.
Nonetheless, Holland & Barrett commissioned a survery on behalf of its Horny Goat Weed product (yes, really) and asked 2,000 adults about their sex lives.
They revealed Fifty Shades fans have sex on average 1.8 times a week, compared with non-readers who manage sex only 1.2 times a week.
Not being part of the Fifty Shades club had a noticeable impact on regular sex, with 35 per cent of non-readers saying they had no sex on a weekly basis.
On the other hand, 76 per cent of people who had read the adventurous title were having sex at least once a week.
The study asked people where the most unusual place they'd had sex was - cars, showers, gardens and planes featured, of course, but others included a haystack, central reservation of the M25, the woodshed and a golf course.
And it asked people how they described sex, with 'making love' most popular, but 'slap and tickle', 'rumpy pumpy' and 'a bit of how's your father' were still surprisingly popular.
And 35 per cent of all adults polled said they've already had the best sex of their lives - but it was with a previous partner.
The research also found the average adult to have had six sexual partners - and has the most sexual fun in their twenties and thirties.
Meanwhile, B&Q have issued a memo to staff warning them about the Fifty Shades effect on their sales of cable tie, rope and tape.
According to The Daily Telegraph, the memo said: "All staff are encouraged to familiarise themselves with the content of Fifty Shades of Grey by reading the novel or watching the film upon its release."
A B&Q spokesperson said: "B&Q remains committed to serving our customers in all their DIY needs and we strive to prepare our staff for any enquiry. Customer satisfaction is always our number one priority."
