It’s five years since the UK was plunged into lockdown, and during that time the nation's sex habits underwent a bit of an overhaul.

Now, half a decade on, we want you to tell us how things have changed for you between the sheets since then.

Sex was a hot topic during lockdown, with Brits wrestling with what acceptable in the face of a global pandemic.

No doubt some snuck out via the drainpipe, but others may have been confined to their company for quite awhile, if you know what we mean.

In any case, it’s fair to say that sex habits changed a fair old bit during those difficult months – and we have the proof.

In the peak of it all, we launched the Daily Star’s own lockdown sex survey to get to the bottom of how Brits were bumping uglies.

Our results found a whopping 70% of those who polled said they were having less sex during the pandemic.

Meanwhile, at least 13% of people claimed to have broken up with their significant other and a small 5% admitted to cheating.

We also looked into singletons using dating apps with just 25% more claiming to swipe left or right in lockdown.

Over to kinky snaps, around 84% of people said they were less nudes during the restrictions, while 16% were still interested in doing so.

As we all have urges, 28% admitted to flouting rules for a kinky session with 24% breaking rules for sex more than 5 times.

But only 6% of those who polled revealed they broke rules just the one time to get theirs..

It's no surprise that toys saw a spurt in growth with 25% more Brits buying a kinky device, while 75% still wern’t feeling it.

Just 2% of Daily Star readers who polled were bonking 11 times a week or more as the majority were getting frisky at least 2-3 times.

Our poll also asked readers whether or not they've cheated on their partners during the pandemic. Around 50% said it's happened on their "lockdown walk", while 13% were getting steamy via sexy video chats.

Lockdown even caused 7% to want to break up with their partners, while 7% were considering leaving their lovers.

And finally, it seems Brits didn’t fancy getting steamy with a partner over Zoom with 93% claiming they hadn't done it over video.
