Why Women Want Less Sex Than Men.

Being in a long, loving and secure relationship may not be such bliss
after all. A warning to all men: Once women feel secure in their
relationships, their sex drive plummets, reports the BBC News.

And it doesn't take long. Just four years into a relationship is enough
to make a woman's libido wane, according to researchers at
Hamburg-Eppendorf University in Germany, who found in a study of 520 men
and women that less than half of 30-year-old women wanted regular sex.
Specifically, they found that at the beginning of the relationship, 60
percent of the women wanted sex "often," but four years later less than
50 percent wanted this. After 20 years in a relationship, just 20
percent wanted to have sex often. The opposite is true for men. No
matter how long they are in a relationship with the same woman, 60 to 80
percent of men still want to have sex often with her.

Why? Blame it on human evolution. A man has a vested interest in keeping
a high sexual interest in his partner. "For men, a good reason for their
sexual motivation to remain constant would be to guard against being
cuckolded by another male," lead study author Dr. Dietrich Klusmann told
the BBC. But it's different for women. They have evolved to have a high
sex drive in the initial stages of a relationship in order to form a
"pair bond" with their partner. Once that bond is formed, interest in
sex wanes. In later years, women possibly limit sex just to increase
their partner's interest--you know, the old supply and demand theory. If
the supply is limited, the demand will be high.

What is important to women in a long-term relationship is tenderness.
Fully 90 percent of women who were in a relationship for 10 years or
longer said this was very important, compared with just 25 percent of
men who said they sought tenderness from their partner.

The study findings were published in the journal Human Nature.

HOO NOOO! The "C"! Cuddling.

I think this proof enough of Evolution.

Strange, I was married 10 years and my sex drive only got stronger.
Maybe because he didnt do it for me lol

I find it hard to believe that about women. I think it depends on the
woman and the man. And come on guys, you have to keep it interesting as
well. You can't just expect us to be ready at the drop of a hat. Romance
takes work, you cannot let a woman get bored in the same old routine...

IN RESPONSE, MAYBE HE DID NOT KNOW WHAT HE WAS DOING?

Humm funny I was married 11 so did mine and 15 yrs later its even
greater just suppressed lol. But..... then that was done in Germany too.

X-man NO my husband was not a very good lover, But the man friend I am
with now is unbelievable!!! I have a very high sex drive but I am also
36 and kicking ass in that area!

shoot the older i get it seems like the less i want it

The older I get the MORE I want it lol

Women, in a relationship, tend to have more sex!
They feel free and loved, and if a guy isn,t careful, he could get
broken.

There are exceptions to the rule. either that or your fibbing(Wink)LOL

As soon as I saw your post with your kitty, my damn cat jumped on my pc
desk and took off with my salmon the little shit.

I have found this to be true in many cases that the guy will shrug his
shoulders when asked about his sex life. Or he'll say " Sex! What's
that?"

See! We kittens are satanic. LOL

Must be exceptions no need in fibbing here. My problem is finding a long
term relantionship with a guy that has the same sex drive. Ohh sure I
can find plenty if it was to be casual sex but not looking there. Humm
so will just keep it surpressed till I do. :) LMAO

I wish most women thought that way. It would make my life easier.

Dude,

If you ask enough people, you'll find enough to support any so-called
"study" you choose. Besides, most women who listen to studies on BBC
look like the freaking Queen of England.

I'm not going into details, but MY sex life is KICKING!!!

Stop spreading rumors like that, Ghost.

ROFLMAO!! Awesome answer to that Kat!! Loved it....hope your Saturday
was great and that you got your rescue mission completed with out any
hitches :)

Sorry... what were we talking about

Dah!!! I don't know.LOL

my sex drive definitely hasn't dwindled, unfortunately the number of
times i have it has(it's torture).
