NEW RESEARCH SHOWS THAT BRITS
LIKE TO KEEP IT CLEAN IN THE BEDROOM
OMNIBUS research commissioned by Spontex has shown that a massive
95% of people are distracted during sex by dust, dishes and dirt.
The research reveals that people who clean the house regularly have
a more fulfilling love life than those who leave the dust and dirty
dishes festering 'until later'.
Dirty Distractions:-
48% of the population find a dirty toilet such a turn off that it
actually distracts them from spending any romantic time with their
lover
64% even admitted that cleaning causes the biggest rows between them
and their partners
Getting in the Mood:-
85% of people in the UK are engaging in 'clean foreplay' as they
admit that they feel more in the mood for romance when they have
finished their household chores
What the experts say?
Relationship expert, Jenni Trent Hughes, stresses the importance of
a clean and tidy house... Jenni says:- "A dirty house can
massively hinder romantic moments between partners. Sharing domestic
chores between you can really benefit your relationship, and will
prevent tension emerging in the bedroom."
The Dating Game:-
A clean kitchen is
revealed to be the best way to impress a date, with almost half of
all men in the UK admitting to being put off by dirty dishes and
work surfaces when going back some someone's house for the first
time. "The last thing you want invading you head during a
romantic moment is the layer of dust on your bedside table",
adds Jenni: "so make sure that your intimate time with your
partner is separate to the jobs that you both need to share around
the house."
Across The Country
15% of people in East Anglia are distracted during sex by their
unfinished washing up
Londoners are most turned off by a messy bathroom; with 33% finding
it to be a distraction during romance, while more women in the

than arranging a candle lit dinner.
50% of people in Yorkshire are put off by left over washing up.
41% of women in the midlands would be more surprised by their
partner cleaning the house than arranging a candle lit dinner.

rows with their partners over the cleaning and washing up. |
