Increasing the number of times you have sex with your partner won’t automatically make you happier, according to a recent study. Lead researcher George Loewenstein told the Daily Star that this was the first study to assess whether increased frequency really led to greater happiness and fulfilment.
The results of the experiment has left the scientists shocked. “Our main finding is surprising and shows that people who increased frequency had reduced happiness and sexual enjoyment,” said Loewenstein as reported by the Daily Star.
Professor Loewenstein explains that this was probably because being ordered to perform between the sheets turned it from “a pleasure into a duty”, reports the Daily Star.
This discovery seems hard to believe with the rise of phone apps like Tinder and websites like Ashley Madison that are aimed to help people cheat their partners.
