Men initiate sex more than three times as often as women do in a long-term, heterosexual relationship. However, previous research shows that sex happens far more often whenever the woman takes the initiative, suggesting that it is the woman who thus sets the limits to a greater extent than men do.

Psychologists at NTNU have investigated what other factors play a role for frequency of intercourse in couples in long-term relationships.

Two factors are decisive in how often women take the initiative at all.

Attitudes to casual sex
[...]Got to have passion

[...]The study included 92 couples aged 19 to 30. Relationships varied in length from one month to nine years, with an average of just under two years. The couples had sex two to three times a week on average.

    Without passion you don't have energy.

    Heck, that's what the utility companies are for, no? My power distributor should be full of passion to the brim.
    Can you imagine how much passion a nuke bomb has? Oh, dear, just don't fuck with it

        Thank you for identifying yourself. It takes bravery and integrity to admit your error. I blame you for the tragedy we are going through as a nation.

        This is hilarious watching Trump crash and burn.

        Yeah. Hilarious, if you like dumpster fires. Wheee!!!

        But in all seriousness we can't let this guy get the nuclear codes.

        I got bad news for you: he already has them. Everywhere he goes 24/7/365 there is a guy following him around with the codes, ready for his use at a moment's notice. No joke. Sleep well tonight.

      For many women, there's enough passion in a pair of AAs (R6s for those across the pond).

    So is it energy, passion or both when you grab them by the pussy?
