40% of people surveyed say they’d refuse sex if their partner hadn’t done chores, and 40% blame tiredness for destroying intimate moments. Love Island could also be ruining your sex life as 20% say reality TV is the biggest passion killer. Social media might affect your sex life more than you thought, as 1/10 are more satisfied by likes than sex.

How to improve your sex life
If you’re looking to improve your sex life, 60% say they’d schedule sex to keep bedroom activity on the cards. Relationship expert Katie Loisel agrees, saying ‘It may not sound romantic, but when your life is full of distractions and a ‘to do’ list as long as your arm, making time for sex can be the last thing on your mind. Scheduling intimacy forces you to focus on the two of you and to prioritise your relationship.’
