ONE of the most recent surveys to delve into the sex lives of Scots painted a portrait of a broadminded people accepting of preferences and practices which might differ from their own and willing to be adventurous in their own relationships.

The study found that 90 per cent of Scots said they were open and non-judgmental, with most engaging in sexual activity on average 29 times a month. Twenty-two per cent of people asked had had sex on a beach, while one respondent even admitted to having sex in a wheelie bin.
