Does sex REALLY stop after marriage?

THE AMOUNT of regular sex married couples have is less than those who haven’t got a ring on their finger - or so received wisdom goes.

• But is this actually true? Do women really stop wanting to have sex as soon as they have changed their last name?
• Unfortunately, statistics would seem to back this presumption up, with only 48 per cent of women still wanting regular sex after just four years of marriage.
• This is according to the Kinsey Report, a study into the sex lives of Americans by the National Centre for Health Statistics.
• The most recent findings were published in 2016, and it seems modern women do tire of sex fairly early on into their married lives.
• The findings come after it was revealed the average person spends 117 days of their life having sex.
• This makes up 0.45 per cent of our lives, according to sports brand Reebok.
• More data has revealed the average British person will have sex 5,778 times before they die - which seems like quite a lot on paper.
• This equates to sex once every 2.7 days if you are sexually active between the ages of 16 and 60.

• A 2008 study of Canadian and American sex therapists found the average time for men to last in bed was seven minutes.
• Average sex stamina can be a cause of concern for men who worry they don’t last long enough in bed
• Researchers in 1991 from the Kinsey Institute found: “75 percent of men ejaculated within two minutes of penetration at least half of the time."
• According to science the median amount time for a man to last in the bedroom is 5.4 minutes, according to a 2005 study.
• This means if you line 100 men up from shortest time before ejaculation to longest, the man in the middle would take 5.4 minutes.
• Sydney sexual health doctor Chris McMahon, revealed in the The Journal of Sexual Medicine that to qualify you must have three factors about your ejaculation.
• On top of the timing for your ejaculation being fairly quick, you must also be unable to control or delay it at all, and this issue must cause negative psychological consequences.
• The NHS says: "Occasional episodes of premature ejaculation are common and aren't a cause for concern. However, if you're finding that around half of your attempts at sex result in premature ejaculation, it might help to get treatment."
