Thinking of poking that special friend? You’re not alone.

A new study conducted for the revamped British airing of “Sex Rehab with Dr. Drew” shows that 11% of Britons have engaged in sexual intercourse with someone they met through Facebook.

Researchers at OnePoll.com surveyed 2,000 adults with a variety of questions relating to their online habits and sexual activity. The research was commissioned by UKTV channel Really which will be airing tonight. Some other interesting results from those polled:

  • 46% have sent illicit texts to someone other than their partner
  • 35% have included nude photos of themselves in the texts
  • 30% watch porn online by themselves
  • 17% watch porn online with their partner
  • 10% have had sex with a coworker (50% of those while at work)

More than half of those surveyed have had a one night stand, with the average having occurred within the last six months.
