news.bbc.co.uk — A woman's sex drive begins to plummet once she is in a secure relationship, according to research. Researchers from Germany found that four years into a relationship, less than half of 30-year-old women wanted regular sex. Conversely, the team found a man's libido remained the same regardless of how long he had been in a relationship.

Not necessarily so....not all men become boors over time, fat lazy and emotionally crippled. If you ask those men if their wives want sex less than them......they probably will agree. It's not a simple answer, but a complex one based on biology, physiology, and the details of the individual relationship.

This research, and most comments, omit the effects of the traditional female role in marriage. The interpretation of the results as being related to "security" are off the mark.Perhaps relegation to support roles like, scrubbing toilets, picking up dirty socks, preparing meal after meal after meal always followed by a belch and a grab instead of a thank you and an offer to help clean up the mess have something to do with the lack of desire for a particular mate. Factor in child rearing which includes sleep deprivation and hours of emotional and physical involvement, and what you have is a situation that calls for different approaches to sex from the male. Men who complain so loudly about lack of sex, might look to their own approach. Thus the researchers and the readers interpretation might also want to explore the 50% who do not experience this diminishment of desire.

It's not innacurate. Half of ALL of them do end in divorce. If they didn't count the serial divorcer and the couple that has been married for 60 years then it wouldn't be half of all marriages, it would be half of SOME marriages.
