Apparently women's sex drive drops rapidly once that woman has been in a stable relationship for a few years. Men, on the other hand, maintain a high libido pretty much throughout.

Any thoughts on this?

Not in my experience.:naughty:

Nor mine. If anything men have more 'headaches' than women :huh:

Bonsai, it's a proven fact that a good orgasm cures a headache. So he has no excuses anymore!:thumbsup:

Not in my experience.:naughty:

Or mine :blush:

Nooooooooooo ils!!! You surprise me!:angel_not

I see the researcher was male :cool:

And he used the highly scientific 'often' as the benchmark question, Anyway men 'often' lie about these things :w00t:

Does having children come into the equation?

My personal experience is that before I had children my sex drive was much higher than it is now. I don't know if that's because I'm too knackered to bother much any more without making a special effort, or that my body has done what it needs to do to further the species and so isn't that fussed any more.

That sounds a worse scenario than it actually is - i do still have a sex drive, but I've lost that Martini impulse :bag:

I don't think it's anything to do with the stability of the relationship, I've always found sex better the stronger the relationship is with my partner.

I thought a libido was something you took to the beach!

I've been trying to teach my hubby the 'appropriate' times that the 'mood' should be given a whirl...like not when I'm elbow deep in washing the dishes(to go into the dishwasher:huh: heeeee), or when I'm bent over getting something out of the oven or dryer, or when I've just had a meltdown of all meltdowns with mucus and tears galore!! Try to be a leeetle frisky...make out a little, don't just hop on and hop off. Men are such complicated creatures, not us!!:huh:

Have you noticed that no men have posted here to give us their opinion ?

I need to find my sex drive, it dissapeared on holiday a while ago :huh:

me'n'urk were watching telly in bed the other night and when I looked over at him at the ads he gave me the raised eyebrows look.

'wayhay' me thought, shifting a bit in the bed.

'Any danger of a cuppa?' he says.




I thought about spitting in it...

Oh you so don't get it. "Bent over" - you might as well put up a big flashing sign saying "available for sex now!" :laugh:

My experience is that after we'd been together a few years the frequency of sex started to drop off. I think we were both equally affected, and I guess that it was a combination of familiarity, lack of spontenaity, and perhaps just lack of need to try so hard. Having kids practically killed our sex life for a few years, but it's back on track now ;)

Maybe Fee's right abouit the wording of the question. What if "often" means something different to men and women?

What I can't stnad though, is women who use sex as a bargaining tool, or withold it if their partner hasn't done some chore or other. It should never be about that, as that makes the woman have some sort of ownership of it, and what is owned can then be taken without consent, and that's a very rocky road.

I agree about the children thing Floops, they're so tiring and I don't know about you but two years later I'm only just starting to get my body back to how it was (well apart from the stretch marks) and to feeling sexy again. If I feel hideous I have no libido at all.

Sex can be used as a bargaining tool you say? Hmmm, I could do with some jobs done around the house :D

From his random sample of 1 person probably, himself.

What rubbish, i thought it was the other way around. :applause:

:laugh:

All men are dogs. Provide sausages or equivalent, tickle tummy, tell them what a good boy they are, the only evolutionary difference being add beer.

Deny the sausages, tummy tickle, beer and enthusiastic praise and what unfaithful doggies they can be!

Not that complicated really.

I thought men provided the chipolata?

Is that with or without your Chastity belt?
