On a day when it was revealed that the Japanese have just stopped having sex altogether, Irish worries were put at ease when, after months of extensive research, Ireland's horniest county was finally revealed.
Japan's economy is set to be shagged by 2040 due to its people no longer reproducing, but we should have no such concerns on our little island, because the people of Waterford are at it like rabbits.
Up the duff? More like up the Déise.
Yes, Waterford has been named the county with the biggest libido in a survey undertaken by dating site EliteSingles.ie, pretty much confirming what people who have friends from Waterford have always suspected.
The site looked at anonymous data from over 30,000 users in response to the statement; "I have a strong desire for sex" and found Waterford to be by far and away the most keen county in the Republic, ahead of dark horse Wicklow - the existence of which is still to be confirmed by experts.
Galway singles were found to be only the 10th most interested in getting the leg over, with other large cities Cork and Dublin placing 5th and 3rd respectively, and Kildare solidifying its growing reputation as Dublin's horniest suburb in 4th position.
The 10 horniest Irish counties are as follows:
1. Waterford
2. Wicklow
3. Dublin
4. Kildare
5. Cork
6. Tipperary
7. Leitrim
8. Meath
9. Wexford
10. Galway
It's nice to see the people of Leitrim finally coming out of their shells, but let's be honest, if you asked 30,000 people what the horniest county in Ireland was, upwards of 27,000 would have been correct.
See ye in Dungarvan this weekend.
