What American singles are planning for holiday hook-up season

Half of Americans who will be visiting home for the holidays plan to have sex in their childhood bedroom (52%), according to new research. A new survey looked at what the holiday season has in store for the love lives of 2,000 single Americans aged 18-40. With 39% of those surveyed visiting home, twice as many of these respondents will attend holiday gatherings solo rather than with a date (44% vs. 21%). Those who will be going alone primarily said they want to enjoy the gatherings on their own (27%), while others only want to bring serious people to these gatherings (23%) and avoid the awkwardness that comes with bringing a date around (18%). The survey conducted by Talker Research for LELO found that two-thirds of those surveyed agree that the holidays are the most romantic time to be intimate. Forty-one percent of singles tend to hook up with people just as often, if not more, during the holiday season compared to other times of the year.
