If having a happy and satisfied sex life is a part of your meter of overall happiness, here’s how science can help you.
The trait for men
It was observed that none of the men’s traits affected the frequency of sex the couple had. However, the traits could impact the overall satisfaction derived from the activity.
Trait that affected sex adversely
If either the female partner or the male partner were ‘neurotic’, that is, they were moody or anxious in their everyday lives, they seemed to enjoy sex lesser.
To each their own
It was established that while the traits of husband and wife affected how happy they themselves were in the bedroom, their traits did not affect the other’s overall sexual satisfaction.
The study
It included responses from 278 couples about their frequency of sex and reported experiences of 218 couples about their overall sexual satisfaction. All the individuals were heterosexual, were not married long and were young, in their 20s or 30s.
