Are you there yet?

If you’ve been in a long-term relationship, apparently your time has come and gone for peak sexual satisfaction…

A new report published in The Telegraph points to the one year mark as the moment of sexual perfection between a pair.

Asking for the intimate breakdown of 3,000 respondents’ bedroom behaviour, the study “Does Sexual Satisfaction Change With Relationship Duration?” pin-pointed the moment people were most satisfied in their sex lives.

Looking at people aged between 25 and 41 years of age, the peak time in a relationship to wrestle under the duvet was marked at one year.

According to the results, researchers believe that one year marks the time lapse between a couple working out what the other enjoys, with timing helping them to “become familiar with each other’s sexual preferences and thus improve their skills in order to pleasure each other.”

After one year, couples actively work at maintaining their sexual satisfaction.

Interestingly though, the study didn’t find that having kids took a toll on people’s sex lives.

They did say that couples that increasingly argue found themselves having a dwindling sex life… but that isn’t exactly news.
