From cheeky roadside romps in Palmerston North to sandy rendezvous in Whangarei, Kiwis have been taking their lovemaking outdoors as the temperatures rise.

A new survey has revealed nearly half of a group of 1000 New Zealanders have had sex on the beach, one in two have had a one night stand, and 15 per cent have had sex in a public toilet.

And if you're in the process of planning a holiday, according to the survey, half of Kiwis heading off on a getaway will be looking forward to more sex compared to when they're back at home.

The Adulttoymegastore Kiwi Sex Survey, hosted by Colmar Brunton, surveyed more than 1000 Kiwis aged 18 and over about their sexual encounters, revealing hot spots and the times of year that Kiwis are most likely to engage in sex.

According to the results, beaches rank as one of the top spots, with nearly half of all those surveyed revealing they have engaged in a sandy tryst.

If you're a fan of the beaches in Whangarei and wider Northland, you may not be pleased to learn how popular they are for adults only activities: 56 per cent of respondents from Northland claim to have had sex on a beach in the region.

The survey also found the term "happy camper" to be most relevant to Hamiltonians, with 62 per cent of participants from the area revealing they have had sex in a tent, and 51 per cent of those from other regions confessing to the same.

Hamilton also took out the top spot for one night stands.

Sex in a vehicle also ranked highly in the survey results: Sixty-three per cent of Kiwis admitted to pulling the car over for a quick roadside romp, with 74 per cent of those from Palmerston North confessing to having done it at least once.

In fact, the quiet town of Palmerston North washed up a wave of surprising results: Twenty-one per cent of people from Palmy revealed they have had sex in a public toilet, compared to just 15 per cent across the rest of the country.
