Is this year of bad sex???you Must read this.

Are you spending more time in the boardroom than the bedroom? It seems you're not alone, with new research revealing that over 40 per cent of British couples are having less sex this year due to lifestyle pressures. 

A new survey reveals that many couples are having less sex this year, on average, than they were in 2013 and they're blaming financial worries and longer working hours for the decline in intimacy in relationships.

All respondents were initially asked ‘On average, how many times per week do you and your partner have sex?', which revealed that the average British couple has sex twice per week. 

When asked if they were having less sex this year compared to the amount they were enjoying in 2013, 41 per cent said ‘yes’.

The top five reasons given for this were financial worries (37 per cent), longer hours at work (34 per cent), sharing the bed with pets (31 per cent), too tired from an active social life (29 per cent), and arguing because of insecurities (20 per cent).

Following on from this, all respondents were asked if they felt more secure and happier in their relationship when they were having more sex, to which 58 per cent stated ‘yes’. 

According to the poll, when asked how they felt when they didn’t have as much sex as they’d like, 43 per cent of respondents admitted they felt worried their partner was going off them.

A spokesperson for VoucherCodesPro, who commissioned the research, said: 'It’s no surprise that couples who worry about aspects of their lives, or are putting in all the hours overtime at work, don’t have the time, effort or mojo to be making love to their partner on a regular basis. 

'We need to learn to put things aside and make more time for our relationships. It’s not good to spend too long worrying, or spending all of your own time working. 

'Relationships are important and, if we’re lucky enough to find someone that we want to spend the rest of our lives with, we should give them a fair level of attention.'
