Let's accept it, new love birds have a steamy time in bed. There's always 'that spark' and a chemistry that makes keeping hands off each other impossible. But once the love has stood the test of time, a lot of things fade and an interest to spike things up in the bedroom is one of them. Leading to the question that troubles almost every couple at some point in time: Should there be more sex?

It so happens, your age might be the biggest factor in determining the amount of sex you have. You read that right. According to a report by the Kinsey Institute in the United States of America, published in the Journal of Sex Research, people who 'felt'  older were less interested in sex. The study--based on 1,200 middle aged and older adults--examined how often they had sex, the quality of it, and how much they were interested in it over a span of 10 years. The subjective age of the participants, which is the age they feel, was determined by a simple question: Many people feel older or younger than they actually are. What age do you feel most of the time?

And the result, surprisingly, can be summarized into one word--attitude. The people who reported they felt older were the ones less interested in sex and complained about the worsening 'quality' of sex.

The decade-long study shows that the participants did decrease the amount of sex they had--going from 2.52 to 1.8 times in the past six months and those suffering from chronic illnesses did it even less, for obvious reasons. But, the ones who did it often 10 years ago, were doing it just as often, if not more. So that's that, lassies! The more loving you do, the more you'll want to do.

So don't rust them moves! Sex is all about exploring, take your time rolling in the sack and enjoy yourself. More so now, since there's a solid research that says it's the only way you keep doin' it for a long, long time. *wink wink*
