Why Sundays Are The Horniest Days

Fridays be damned

- Sophia Benoit

Despite my near-constant frustration with dating apps, I could never quite bring myself to completely ditch them. Instead, I would browse casually, typically when work was slow, enjoying some light banter here and there but ultimately not meeting up with anyone. Despite my lackadaisical approach during the week, however, by the time Sunday rolled around, all bets were off. Something about the day made my fingers itch to open the app and start swiping with zeal. This happened reliably week after week, so I finally set out to get to the bottom of why Sundays sent me into a horny spiral.

A cursory Google search will attest to the fact that I’m far from alone when it comes to my proclivity for Horny Sundays. As to the reason so many of us are jonesing on the last day of the weekend, the theories are far ranging. Some suggested boredom, or a general desire for relaxation, as a factor. Others posited that the day sucks so much that being horny is your only option.

As it turns out, based on a survey, Sunday morning was the most common time people reported having sex, so we Horny Sunday folk are definitely onto something.
