In a published article In the Journal of Economic Behavior&Organization , these researchers report that simply having more sex did not make couples happier , in part because the increase in frequency led to a decreased desire and enjoyment of sex.

128 healthy people between the ages of 35 and 65 who were in married male-female couples Participated in the research.The researchers assigned ale Atoriously to couples in one of two groups.The first group did not receive instructions on sexual frequency.The second group was asked to double their weekly frequency intimate relationships.

Couples instructed to increase sexual frequency had more sex, however, this did not lead to an increase in your happiness ; in fact, in general they showed a reduction in their happiness.Looking further, the researchers found that couples who should have more sex reported less sexual desire and a decrease in sexual enjoyment.It is not that actually having more sex will lead to decreased desire and taste for sex, if not that it was the fact of having to do it because they had asked for it-and not an initiative of their own-what made them feel worse .

The researchers themselves recognize that they would have to do another investigation in which they will encourage couples to maintain more relationships, and not force them to do so.

Despite the results of the study, researchers still believe that most couples have too little sex for their own good, and think that the aum Entice of sexual frequency in the right way can be beneficial .

The researchers also suggested that the results of the study can really help couples improve their lives Sexual and your happiness.They say:

«(...) the desire to have sex decreases much faster than the enjoyment of sex once it has started.»

They also claim that instead of focusing on increasing sexual frequency to the levels they experienced At the beginning of a relationship, couples may want to work to create an environment in which the sparks of desire sprout and to make their sex even more fun .
