Couples are having less sex than in the previous two decades, new UK research says -- but the number of people wanting more is rising.
A survey found that British people who are married or living with a partner are having sex less often, driving an overall decline in sex within UK society. People over the age of 25 are also having less sex, while more than half of British women and almost two-thirds of men admitted wanting more. But the general declines did not apply as much to single people, and men under the age of 25 bucked the societal trend and did not report a dropoff in their sex lives. Only 43.
"Several factors are likely to explain this decline, but one may be the sheer pace of modern life," Kaye Wellings, professor of sexual and reproductive health at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine and the study's lead author, said in a news release. "It is interesting that those most affected are in mid-life, the group often referred to as the 'u-bend' or 'sandwich' generation," she added.
