I’m not sure exactly who feels sexy after consuming 16 pounds of food and an entire gallon of gravy, but apparently that’s doin’ it for lots of people.

A new survey found the seven holidays where we’re most likely to conceive a baby, and Thanksgiving is number one. And, if you’ve got a birthday in August or early September, your parents just might’ve contributed to that statistic.

Here are the seven holidays where we’re getting our procreation on…

1.  Thanksgiving, 17.7 percent of couples who conceived on a holiday did it on Thanksgiving.

2.  Valentine’s Day, 17.3 percent.

3.  Christmas, 14.7 percent.

4.  Fourth of July, 13.9 percent.

5.  Halloween, 13 percent.

6.  Memorial Day, 12.1 percent.

7.  New Year’s Eve, 11.3 percent.
