A survey by O2 lists the top taboo subjects not to be discussed at a dinner party.

That knocks money down to a close third place, with over a quarter saying they would refuse to talk about their finances with those who are close to them.

A similar proportion say they would not even be comfortable discussing the amount of money they earn.

The 2012 participants were UK respondents and came up with the following Top 10 taboo topics:

1. My sex life – 32%

2. An infidelity – 31%

3. The state of my finances – 28%

4. How much I earn – 25%

5. My family planning – 19%

6. My relationship with my partner – 18%

7. The value of my home – 16%

8. Politics – 13%

9. Serious illness – 9%

10. Religion – 7%
