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.
What’s a “sex spike”? On second thought, I don’t want to know.
Does this not make September the highest birth month in the US?
But how can that be since all the coats are on the bed?

Something to do with making baby sea urchins, I think....

Alcohol..........This explains why more people are born in September...........
yes but two things will happen. 50% will get abortions and a large percentage of those who actually have kids will name the males OBAMA.

Away to the window I flew like a flash,
Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash.
If the narrator was only wearing his cap to bead, it's no wonder he was flashing everyone when he opened the window.

Others cultures have sex too? No kidding?
That is why I call all those late September and October babies “New Year Babies.” I was one
