Everyone knows that the beginning of any new relationship is more than exciting, but after a while many couples wonder - shouldn't we have sex more often?
A study by the Kinsey Institute looked at the question - how age affects the frequency of sex, and it turns out that age is the most important factor that determines how often you will have sex. But it's not all about the simple number of years.
Over ten years of research, they surveyed over 1.200 middle-aged and older adults, and questions included not only the frequency and quality, but also their interest in sex. One question was crucial:
“Many people feel older or younger than they actually are. How do you feel?”
The results were expected. It's all in the attitude. People who felt older were less interested in sex and the quality of sex. If there was one at all, it was worse.
By the end of the decade of research, "older" people had less and less sexual intercourse. Interestingly, those who said they always felt younger than they were at the end of the study had more sex than at the beginning.
Apart from sex, people who feel younger also profit in life, so it has been proven that they live longer.
