10% of Brits are in polyamorous relationship & 71% of cheaters will get gift for lover, Sun Valentine’s Day poll reveals
WILL you be getting busy with one – or multiple – partners tonight?
Our exclusive Valentine’s Day sex survey reveals ONE IN TEN of us is in a polyamorous relationship.
Of those, 74 per cent will be spending the most romantic day of the year with more than one partner.
And 81 per cent will buy presents for all of their lovers, making it quite a pricey time of the year.
We polled 2,000 men and women aged 18 and over to find out how Sun readers will be spending V-Day.
Polyamory is a non-monogamous relationship style where people mutually agree to have multiple sexual or romantic relationships.
While it is no secret that non-monogamy is on the rise, our research shows just how popular it is becoming.
Belfast is the UK capital of polyamory, with nearly a quarter (22 per cent) of the population having an unconventional relationship.
London is next, with 15 per cent.
And Birmingham and Sheffield come in joint third place with 14 per cent.
The threesome hotspot of the country is Manchester, with 86 per cent of the population claiming to have had a three-way.
Three-quarters (75 per cent) of pleasure seekers in Leeds have also enjoyed a threesome, making it second.
In third place comes Southampton, with 67 per cent having indulged in one.
While our appetite for monogamy appears to be dwindling, we are still a nation of romantics when it comes to Valentine’s Day, with 63 per cent of those polled saying they will celebrate it.
And 38 per cent are expecting to get lucky tonight.
Of those, more than half expect it to be more adventurous sex.
Sun sexpert Georgette Culley reveals all the saucy results — and two readers spill the beans on their naughtiest sex secrets . . .
‘SEX TOYS REPLACE HUBBY’
GYMNASTICS teacher Lucy Entwistle has been married for 18 months – but her hubby has only made her orgasm once.
So the 36-year-old, from Darwen, Lancs, turns to her sex toys, which she uses in secret so as not hurt his feelings.
She says: “I wait until he’s fast asleep then I’ll sneak off to the bathroom and have fun with my vibrators.
“Or I’ll wait until he’s out with the boys.
“He doesn’t suspect a thing and thinks he’s great in bed.
“I don’t have the heart to tell him otherwise . . . ”
‘NIGHT TO PULL GUY – OR PAIR’
EMMERALD Barwise is a big fan of Valentine’s Day – and threesomes.
The Mancunian hairdresser says: “I’m not surprised Manchester is the threesome capital of the UK. Us northerners are wild.
“As a bisexual single woman I love V-Day and have never spent it alone.
“It’s a great night to go out and pull – be that one person or two people at the same time.
“Last year I went to a club and met a married couple.
“We ended up hitting it off and went back to their hotel room for some hot sex.
“It was fun, it was naughty and it was exciting and I’m hoping I’ll have the same luck this year.
“I’ve also met husbands or wives for a quick one-night stand when they’ve had arguments with their other half.
“Val Day is the best time of the year for me.”
