According to a survey, two-thirds of women have refused to have sex as a protest against clothes that need to be folded, hung up or put away, the Daily Express reported.

And women can suffer too. A quarter of men said that they have turned down a night of passion because their partner’s bedroom was too messy.

The study found British couples have 104 arguments a year about the mess in their homes with 2.4 million couples rowing twice a week over who should tidy up.
