Scots are the 'sexiest' people

A new survey has found that the Scots spend a whopping 35million pounds a year to pump up their sex lives.

Scots spend 1.3 times the national average on their sex lives, and rank ahead of people in Wales, which is second followed by England at third and Northern Ireland at the fourth spot.

Online sex shop Love-Honey.co.uk has estimated that the 4,122,807 Scots, aged above 18, spend nearly 8.54 pounds a year on sex toys, lingerie, role-play costumes, and erotic literature to boost their sex lives, reports the Sun.

The survey also reveals that Scottish pairs prefer sex at home than expensive night outs to save on cash.

Forres in Morayshire has been rated the 'sexiest' place in Scotland with lusty residents spending more than twice the national average on their sex lives.

The locals here also lap up about six times more porn than the average Brit.

Sex expert and author Tracey Cox said: "It''s a positive for relationships - it shows an openness and willingness by the people in Scotland to make an effort to try new things."

Elgin and Shetland are placed second and third on the sexiest spots' list.

According to the survey, Brits spends almost 315million pounds in a year on naughty items.

Airing risque sexual material good for people

An Aussie sexual health physician has credited the producers of the show ''Packed to the Rafters'' for bringing sex into the mainstream by airing risque sexual material on TV.

''Packed to the Rafters'' came under fire after an episode containing raunchy fantasy sequences and a masturbation scene was aired on Tuesday.

Dr. Christine Read, however, has applauded the producers by saying that Australians are not as sexually savvy as they think, and are at the risk of unplanned pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases.

She claimed that shows like ''The 7pm Project'' (Network Ten) and ''Packed to the Rafters'' (Seven Network) were "pushing the boundaries."

She said that the Australian public were quite sensitive to the topic while politicians also found the issue difficult.

"There are so many myths around sex and sexuality and how you can or cannot get pregnant even in this day and age. So shows that get people talking about sex are really important," News.com.au quoted Read as telling AAP.

Earlier this week, the blog site of ''Packed to the Rafters'' attracted angry posts from viewers.

However, Read, who is also a spokesperson for Sexual Health and Family Planning Australia, said that it is important for families to talk about sex.

Better sexual education programs in schools were also needed because the current system was ad hoc, she said.
