Survey Says: We Had More Sex in the 50's

You may not believe this, but Prima magazine says it, so it must be true: married women have less sex today than their grandmothers did. The magazine said women in the 1950s had sex an average of twice a week, but a survey found two-thirds of today's women said they were too tired to manage that much.
Cynics may say the fact that there was only one television station 50 years ago, which shut down at about 10pm, could be a factor.

Prima's study focused on how women's attitudes towards love, sex and marriage had changed since the 1940s. It found that sex before marriage was now the norm, with four out of five couples sleeping together by the fifth date; but after marriage the passion died down.

"We studied four generations of married women and found the grandmothers were having more sex back in the 1950s than their granddaughters are having now," said the features editor, Ruth Tierney.

"Since then we have started working and often still have to run the home and look after the kids. It's hard to find the time for sex, and, when we go to bed, we are too tired to do anything but sleep."
