• Steam-Powered Orgasms: How Victorian Doctors Treated Female "Hysteria" to Save Their Hands From Fatigue

It turns out that Saturday is actually a sex day—the perfect day for sex. A new global study has found that Saturday evening, or 10:09pm to be exact, is the time when people are most likely to have sex.

Pour Moi surveyed 2,000 sexually active adults around the world to find out about humanity’s lustful habits.

A significant number of respondents (43%) said that Saturday was their favorite day for sexual pleasures. Friday came in second at 22% of respondents, followed by Sunday and Thursday at 10% and 6%, respectively.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, the first few days of the week were less appealing. Monday was the least preferred day of the week for sex, with only 2% of respondents naming it their preferred day.

Also, the study found that late night hours were the most popular time for sex, with 10:09pm the most sexually active hour.

The least likely time for sex was weekdays after lunch. So, those who like sex in the middle of the workday are in a rare category.

Monday 1:02pm was recognized as the least sexual moment of the week.

In addition, experts analyzed how often people have sex, and almost half of respondents (48%) said they do it once a week. A smaller percentage of people reported having sex more often, 19% of respondents make love twice a week, 13%—three times a week, and 7%—four times, and only 1% of respondents reported having sex daily.
