Prevention editor Jacqui Mooney said the survey revealed a clear “satisfaction gap” between what women wanted and what they got, with 57 per cent of Aussie women over 40 wanting sex at least once a week, but only 36 per cent having it that often.

Respondents said they most commonly had sex to strengthen the bond they shared with their partner (68 per cent), boost their mood (46 per cent) or feel less stressed (29 per cent).

“Contrary to popular belief, we were encouraged to discover that, for most women, sex only gets better with age,” News.com.au quoted

Mooney as saying.

“Unsurprisingly, 69 per cent admitted tiredness sends your libido south. And, bucking the online trend, 38 per cent reported their partner bringing an iPad to bed was a guaranteed passion killer,” the researcher added.
