At least eight million British adults have never done the hanky-panky on Christmas Day, a Festive Sex Census has revealed.

Xmas is not only the most wonderful time of the year, but also the most hectic.

Shopping with a budget, last minute gifts and arguing over whose house to do it at are just some of the reasons why the lead-up is just a nightmare.

So you'd think that on Christmas Day, now all of the hard work is done, you'd take a little time out for yourselves.

But apparently not.

According to Kiiroo’s Festive Sex Census, in collaboration with One Poll, just 62 percent of UK adults surveyed admitted to having had sex on Christmas Day.

On the flip side, this means that at least eight million adults in the UK have quite possibly never had sex on Christmas Day.

Surprisingly, the so-called older generation (45-54 and 65+) are the most likely to get it on at Xmas.

And 82 percent of single parents said they’d found time for Christmas Day sex.

So why are so many of us seemingly against doing the dirty on Santa's big day?

We asked the LADbible audience why this is the case and here are some of their best replies.

"Isn’t it an unwritten rule that the only fella who’s allowed to empty his sack in your house on Crimbo day is Santa?" one person joked.

"If not, my Mrs has had me right off for the last 19 years."

"That's cos most men are buzzing of Lynx Africa on Christmas day," a second said.

While a third added: "Have they had too much stuffing on their plates."

"A good drink, an absolute dream of a dinner, some quality chocolate and a chill-out with the open fire burning," another quipped.

"That’ll do me, I’ll smash the missus on Boxing Day."

"The kids are off school so no bloody chance unless you have a separate bedroom wing just for yourselves," someone else commented.

Well, according Kiiroo’s intimacy expert Natasha Ivanovic, it's quite simple.

She said: “Christmas is a time where couples can often find themselves apart, and intimacy is hard to come by.

"A combination of factors including too much wine, over-indulgence on Christmas Turkey, spending the day with your in-laws and grandparents, children getting up early or being in a long distance relationship can disrupt festive sex.

"Younger adults can find this puts a strain on their relationship when they want to be closest to their partner."

So, there you have it.
