Most Australians Would Like To Have Sex On A Plane

According to a new survey, almost 60% of Australians are either members or want to join the 'mile-high club' -- where membership is gained by having sex on an airplane.

Asked whether they would consider making love while sky high, almost half more than 1,100 surveyed by a travel website said they would but had not yet satisfied their desire to engage in such an encounter.

Twelve percent said they were already a member of the club which includes British actor Ralph Fiennes who last year grabbed headlines with his sex romp with a female Qantas air hostess in a business class toilet cubicle.

The airline later sacked the woman over the encounter she had described in a lurid confession to the British press as a "10 out of 10" experience and said she would do it all over again. You can read more about that here.

The company behind the survey says Australian travellers were more daring than expected: "People are obviously looking for more stimulating entertainment than a movie or a CD when travelling by plane," marketing manager Paul Fisher said.

"Mind you, with the advent of the new A380 super jumbos, some boasting configurations with full-sized standalone beds, earning one's stripes is a lot easier than it once was." Except Singapore Airlines, which has told passengers to keep their pants on while riding its new Airbus.

Forty-two percent of those questioned, however, said the prospect of getting hot and sweaty in a cramped and potentially stinky aircraft toilet was no turn on.
