You may think it's the last place to get a bit of action but one in eight men under 35 have brought a condom to a funeral 'just in case'.

Yes! You read that correctly.

Although this may seem shocking, grief can activate your libido, according to a clinical sexologist.

Sex releases endorphins, also known as the 'happy hormone', which can help boost your mood.

Sexuality educator Patti Britton told Mel Magazine, "It's really about filling the void - literally and figuratively.

"The grief trajectory is about a loss of closeness - a loss of intimacy. That's why our libido kicks in: To fill that void."

Grief can also lead people to make bad decisions, which is rather damning for a post-funeral hook up.

"It hijacks your brain," she said.

So it seems most men like to channel their inner Chazz from the film 'Wedding Crashers'.

The figures come from a US condom brand Trojan who conducted an online survey of 2,000 adults aged 18-35.

The study also found 77% of those surveyed believe both men and women should have equal responsibility when it comes to protection.
