More Men Have Lower Sex Drives Than You Think

When Kate* first got together with her boyfriend a year ago, their sex life was intense. “We started like any couple where it was really passionate. We couldn’t get enough of each other physically,” she says. “It was fiery.”

But six months into the relationship she began noticing weeks would pass and they hadn’t had sex. “It took a while to realise what was happening because it was so gradual,” she recalls. At first she thought it was just fatigue. Both in their late 20s, they had full-on jobs and busy lives.
