Sexual Activity Springs Back Into Life After 50 Years Of Marriage
By Sean Martin, Feb. 17, 2015, IBTimes.com
Half a century of marriage is something of a springboard back into sexual activity, new research has found.
A married couple's sex life tends to peter out over time, but a study from Louisiana State University, Florida State University and Baylor University found that there is a "slight rebound" in sexual frequency after 50 years of marriage.
The study, which looked at 1,656 married adults ages 57-85 and is published in the Archives of Sexual Behaviour journal, also found that couples who remain in their first marriage are more sexually active than those who remarry.
Former Baylor researcher Samuel Stroope said that while the frequency of intercourse tends to drop over time, "it may be that the permanency of the relationship contributes to sexual relations picking up a bit at the end."
Trying to describe why it picks back up, Stroope said: "Growing old as a couple, with the experience and knowledge that come with that, may play a part. You are able to learn about your partner and build on that over time.
