Those who oppose monogamy would be really happy to know that science agrees with them. Yes, you heard that right.

Ladies, if you are in a long-term relationship then you ought to be worried. Now, you would say that what can be better than sharing a strong bond and braving hurdles together? And you are right. A relationship that beautiful not only provides you with mental peace but also makes you secure as a person. However, apart from the psychological benefits, there's a downside you don't know about.

You might be too comfortable with your partner and your sexual life may not be the highlight of your relationship. So, you hardly pay attention to the fact that you have a hard time getting aroused or don't climax at all. In fact, you consider the lack of libido as a permanent fixture as far as your lifestyle is concerned. Sadly, the dwindling passion is a result of your monogamous relationship.

According to a study, published in the journal of Psychological Medicine, a monogamous relationship for long may reduce a woman's sexual desire. It was found that those, who stay committed to the same man for a long period of time, experience low sexual drive. In case, you are wondering how on earth did the researchers come up with such a bizarre study, here's some more info.

The scientists used the Female Sexual Function Index -- a short questionnaire that measures specific areas of sexual functioning in women, such as sexual arousal, orgasm, sexual satisfaction, and the presence of pain during intercourse, to look at the evolution of female sexual desire over a period of seven years. So, it would be safe to say that the results are concrete and speak nothing but the truth.

"Our results advocate tailored psycho-behavioural treatment interventions for female sexual dysfunctions that take partner-specific factors into account," said Annika Gunst, who led the study at the University of Turku in Finland.

Now that you know the deets, blame your relationship if you just can't hit the big O.
