NEARLY HALF of women want se'x more than their male partner —
and they're really frustrated about it.
A new survey found 43 per cent of women said they had a
higher libido than the man they were having se'x with, casting doubt on the
received wisdom that it's always blokes who want it more.
There was little difference between the se'xes with 42 per
cent of men saying they wanted se'x more than their wife or girlfriend.
Three-quarters of couples (72 per cent) have been in a
relationship with mismatched libidos.
And of these, two-thirds (62 per cent) said the different
se'x drives had been a factor in their eventual split.
The findings come from a new survey of 2,000 people, split
evenly amongst the se'xes, by IllicitEncounters.com,
the UK’s leading dating site for married people.
It found that mismatched libidos were a factor in 52 per
cent of all affairs.
Half of women who cheat (54 per cent) and a similar number
of men (56 per cent) said they strayed because they wanted more se'x than their
regular partner.
There has been a long-held stereotype that it always men who want more se'x than their female partners — that is rubbish.
Jessica Leoni, IllicitEncounters
Six out of ten women (62 per cent) and 59 per cent of men
said that mismatched libidos was a "red flag" which would spark
immediate concern as to whether a new relationship would last.
Three-quarters of women with higher sex drives (74 per cent)
have discussed this with their partner and tried to sort out the issue.
But only 57 per cent of highly se'xed men in the same
situation have done the same.
IllicitEncounters.com spokeswoman Jessica Leoni said:
"Couples with mismatched libidos are doomed — the partner with the higher
se'x drive will invariably end up cheating.
"There has been a long-held stereotype that it always
men who want more se'x than their female partners — that is rubbish.
"This new research shows that women are becoming more
open about what they in the bedroom and that is a good thing."
