Women on Tube 'have sex on minds'

Women are twice as likely as men to be thinking about their sex lives while on the Tube, a survey reveals.

Sex enters the minds of 42% of women while travelling on the Tube, compared with 22% of male passengers, according to the survey by Viacom Outdoors.

It also shows although men are said to think about sex every few seconds, they think less about it on the Tube.

The study was based on questionnaires, observational study of Tube passengers and feedback from travellers.

'Less stressed'

The survey also showed that 65% of Tube passengers think about work, while 43% of men and 45% of women think about the strangers they are with on the Tube.

About 55% of passengers were said to daydream about family and friends, 38% think about plans for the weekend, while 24% think about their next meal and 20% about their next holiday.

Stephen Fuller of Viacom Outdoor said: "This research gives us an insight into the mindset of Tube users and it is fascinating to learn that in most cases they are less stressed and much calmer than is widely believed."
