Those Over 40 Enjoy Sex Best
|
Middle-aged and older people in Western countries were the first to take the contraceptive pill, challenge the institution of marriage and campaign for women's rights, and now they are continuing to reap the benefits of the sexual revolution. A global study has found that people living in countries with high levels of gender equality enjoy the best sex, with the over-40s saying they are most satisfied. Austrians aged 40-80 claim to have the highest satisfactions with both their relationships and sex lives, followed by Canadians and Swedes. While those in long-term relationships have the best sex lives, changing partners after your 40s is the best guarantee of cashing in on the sexual revolution, the Global Study of Sexual Attitudes and Behaviours finds. Edward Laumann, professor of sociology at the University of Chicago, the lead author of a paper on the study published yesterday in the journal Archives of Sexual Behaviour, said: "If you're dating from the age of 40-plus you have relatively better satisfaction than those who are married.
"It's clear that sexual satisfaction plays a strong role in people's general happiness later in life and quality of relationships play a big role in that. But men and women evaluate sexual well-being differently. For women the quality of relationship is a much bigger component than men."

Love is the answer, but while you are waiting for the answer sex raises some pretty good questions.
