Should marry and live at home makes more happy couples. At least, they could have sex at any time without having to worry about what other people think. But in fact, many couples ultimately disappointed with this decision.
A study reported The Journal of Sex & Marriage Therapy observe the sex lives of 3240 men and 3304 women who are married and live at home with their partner. Apparently most of the participants were so satisfied with their sex lives.
Approximately 54 percent and 42 percent of men and women claimed to be dissatisfied with the frequency of sex in a relationship. Men aged 35-44 who have been married for 6 years or more are most likely to be unhappy sex life.
"The majority of people in the study expect more sex than they get now. What we see is there is a gap between the ideal frequency of sexual relations with what was achieved in the relationship," said Anthony Smith, professor of public health at La Trobe University in Melbourne as reported by the Sydney Morning Herald, Saturday (12/08/2012).
Dr. Smith assumed that most couples do not have enough time to have sex. Most people would blame her for having a lower sex drive. But apparently, not all problems can be blamed on the bed the woman.
Author of the book 'He's Just Not Up For It Anymore' named Bob Berkowitz and Susan Yager-Berkowitz surveyed more than 4000 people. The result proved to be most of the men who first choose to stop having sex with a partner. In fact they found that the women complaining why her husband was no longer passionate as ever.
The reason is not necessarily because there is a third party. The experts advise couples to talk about sex, if necessary, make a schedule and put sex as a priority in the relationship. The results of interviews Berkowitz find there are several reasons couples rarely have sex, that is:
1. Couple looks do not enjoy sex
2. Couple angry
3. Couple more interested in having sex with someone else.
4. boredom
5. Depressed or stressed
6. Couple getting fatter
7. Couples no longer considered physically attractive
8. Erectile dysfunction
