A study by biorhythm researchers and makers of sex-related products say the uptick in sex is fueled by resolutions to have children, alcohol and parties.
WASHINGTON — The Christmas-New Year's period produces a year-high spike in sexual activity and conceptions in the United States, according to biorhythm researchers and makers of sex-related products.
They attribute the increase to holiday leisure and New Year's resolutions to have children. New Year's irresolution fueled by alcohol and partying is another contributing factor.
"Right before New Year's Eve is our highest sales peak," said David Johnson, group product manager for Trojan brand condoms, the leading U.S. seller.
As expected, the holiday urge surge also expresses itself as a peak in U.S. births in September, according to David Lam of the University of Michigan's Population Studies Center in Ann Arbor.
Holiday intimacies aren't just an American rite, according to Gabriele Doblhammer of the Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research in Rostock, Germany. Heavy Christmas-New Year's sex "is characteristic of all Christian cultures in which it has been evaluated," she and co-researcher Joseph Lee Rogers found.
A quartet of British public health researchers went so far as to liken the Christmas-New Year's period to a "festival on fertility" in a 1999 article in the Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine.
Not if you visit the kids and grandkids and stay at there house. My wife pointed out that last night was it until we got back. i know TMI but what the heck everyone have a joyous Christmas and New Year.

Sex spikes...sounds painful.
Painful to you is enjoyable to others........
Once-a-year events..........
Speak for yourself.
Since the kids moved out, every day is Christmas.
I get two New Years, one on Jan 1 and whenever the Chinese new year is.
As for sex, well since the kids moved out.........................
Well I am glad SOMEBODY is getting laid!
It’s kind of scary to say this - but I think there’s some truth to it.
In the last two weeks, I have been approached by two ex-girlfriends who asked if I wanted to “get together” or “exchange presents” one night. Both made it clear that they weren’t looking to restart our relationships. Or maybe both are thinking that by making me start thinking with my little head (instead of the big one), they can lure me back in again.
No, this isn’t a Penthouse Forum story. It’s absolutely true. I have to admit that I was kinda taken aback when I got both offers. I kinda hemmed and hawed with both of ‘em - but now that I’m thinking about it, I may take one of them up on the offer.
Those who can, do. Those who can’t, write...........
bwaha ha haI was laughing so hard I missed that.
And I hoe you had the “presents” of mind to demur......
Wow, you never came across as the S&M type...gee I guess you never know.
Not me! I just report. You decide!.........
You have my sympathies....next year make em get a hotel...ha ha ha
