When appetites stray from lunch

NZPA-PA London More than half of Britain’s single women have admitted having sex in their lunch break and a fifth have even managed it at work, a saucy poll revealed yesterday. Up to 67 per cent of women with their own homes also say they still enjoy making love with their man in the cramped conditions of a car. While 2 per cent of men claim membership of the “mile high club” by having made love on a plane, up to 10 per cent of women

say they joined the “four feet high club” by having sex on a train. The figures have been taken from 25 indepth studies over the last 20 years by Dr Vernon Coleman for a new book, “Sex For Everyone . — How’ To Have Fun Without Fear.” He found that 45 per cent of men preferred making love with the lights on and 20 per cent found intelligent and wellpaid women daunting. Dr Coleman, a medical pundit on tele-

vision and in newspapers, tells Britain’s “Woman’s Own” magazine be is convinced of t|ie accuracy of most' of the statistics because the surveys involve thousands of people, not just a few hundred. But the one notoriously unreliable statistic relates to how often couples; claim to make love, he says. < Mr and Mrs Average say it- is once or .possibly twice a week, but experts believe that could be too high because people are reluctant to admit to less when asked.
