Britons would rather spend more time at work than having sex, a survey claims.
But the vast majority of people, 57 per cent, would spend more time with family if they had the opportunity.
Only one per cent of those surveyed said they would head for the bedroom if they had more spare time, with five per cent preferring to give more attention to their jobs.
Fourteen per cent of the survey of 500 people said they would spend more time on their hobbies, eight per cent would spend it with their partner and four per cent relaxing.
The survey also revealed 67 per cent of people want to do everything at break-neck speed.
David Hobday, deputy managing director of Telewest Broadband, the cable TV firm which commissioned the survey, said: "With technology evolving, we're getting things done faster and faster, but it would appear people are more turned on by living life at 90mph than they are by their partners.
"Our report proves that a hectic lifestyle is not a problem for modern Brits and we're only rubbed up the wrong way if things don't happen fast enough."
