Is your love-making streets ahead of the rest?

A new website that allows users to find out where and when people are having sex has just been launched.

Couples can mark their exact location using Google maps and reveal intimate details of their carnal relations on ijustmadelove.com.

They can also say whether the intercourse was indoors or outdoors, in a car, a boat or a house.

Tick-boxes also encourage users to specify which acts they adopted to express their love, and whether protection was used, and if it was same-sex or heterosexual.

Amorous Kiwis were yesterday joining in what is being described as the latest twist to the online social networking phenomenon.

One couple in Catherine St, Helensville, reported they had just had "awesome" sex. Another who were in the throes of passion in Duncan St, Dunedin, said it had been "faaaantastic".

Others gave unlikely coordinates - one couple claimed to be doing it in a car about 100m off the coast of Lake Taupo.

Nearly 90,000 people have signed up for the website around the globe.

It's founder, Polish man Cyprian Cieckiewicz, said he came up with the idea for the site after wondering: "How many people are making love right now, at this very moment?

"How cool would it be to just look at the Earth and see little lights lighting up to see where people are making love?"
