Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Research suggests that relationship satisfaction is the best predictor of sexual frequency in midlife. While there may be some changes in sexual activity in midlife due to factors such as menopause, overall frequency tends to remain stable or increase. Dramatic changes in sexual activity among couples are not very common. Couples who have sex often in early adulthood do not necessarily see a drop in midlife, as individual variability exists.
