Published on October 18, 2019, a BusinessToday article highlighted five professions that make it hard for workers to love. Now, a new study takes it a step further, exploring the real action in the bedroom.

A survey by Lelo UK, a sex-toy manufacturer targeting men, has revealed that farmers have the most sex, with over 33% claiming to do it at least once a day. This is closely followed by architects, with 21% of them claiming to make love once a day, and hairdressers, with 17% saying they also had sex daily.

Sex experts attribute this to the fact that farmers are more likely to be fitter than desk-bound city dwellers, who work in posh offices, and therefore have more stamina. According to sex expert Kate Moyle, “Even within groups such as professions where there is a lot of similarities, we have to consider that there is a huge amount of individual differences impacting people’s sexuality and sex lives.”

On the other hand, journalists are the least likely to make love, featuring at the end of the scale — with one-fifth claiming they only had sex once a month. This is surprising given that media people are known to have liberal lifestyles.

Lawyers also experience problems in the bedroom — 27% of them admit to faking an orgasm every time they have sex. Moyle added, “The lifestyle factors of our jobs such as flexibility of working hours and the environment are also likely to have an impact on all our lives not just our sex lives.”
