Men Not Wanting Sex v. Women, Sex and Caffiene

Hamburg, Germany - An increasing number of men are avoiding having sex, with those aged between 30 and 40 years having less than half as much sex compared to their father generation, according to a survey published in the German women's magazine Brigitte.Quoting from research conducted by Frank Sommer from the University of Hamburg, the magazine said young men aged 18 to 30 had sex 18 to 22 times a month 30 years ago. Today the figure for the same age group has fallen to between four and ten times a month.
Sommer attributed the lack of interest in sex to more daily stress which was a drain to sexual energy.
'Men often have no strength and no time to have sex,' Sommer was quoted as saying.
But other factors such as blood circulation problems, psychological reasons such as depression or problems in the relationship could play a part, Sommer said.
These factors also applied to women, Sommer said. 'I'm convinced that women are no better off but men suffer more from not having sex because it doesn't fit to their male role image'.
At the same time women were more demanding sexually and more open to speaking about why the man had no energy for sex.
However the expert concludes that 'we live in an era with a little less sexual energy'.

Scientists gave 108 female rats a moderate dose of caffeine. The caffeine shortened the amount of time it took the females to return to males after a first romp, indicating they were more motivated to do it again.Loading up on more caffeine is not expected to improve human sex drive in most cases, however.
"These rats had never had caffeine before," said study leader Fay Guarraci, an assistant professor of psychology at Southwestern University. "In humans, it might enhance the sexual experience only among people who are not habitual users."
The research could help scientists better understand sexual motivation, however.

Maybe it has something to do with the fact that for many men, as they get older so do their partners.

I think it might have something to do with changes in society. Now it is much more accepted for both the man and the women to work, so now both people have stress and time related issues to work with. Not to mention that men no longer dominate relationships the way they used to.

People are alot fatter now than they used to be. When I wasn't exercising, my energy level was low. Since the wife and I took up a regular workout routine after our final (maybe...) child was born, our love life has been awesome.
Take that, Dad!

There is always time for sex. Always.

Do you have a 5-year old running rampant around the house? No, there is NOT always time for sex. By the time the wife and I fall into bed, we look at each other and then pass out. Time? Haven't seen any lately.

You make a good point. When I was 40 pounds heavier, I didn't have nearly the stamina I have now.

Maybe its just the fat German guys with this problem?
No, I have a 15 month old running around the house. And I live with my mother-in-law, who might as well be 5, considering how she acts, and I still find time for some horizontal dancing with the wife.

Yeah, that's what I thought until I remembered that 30 years ago it was the 1970s, smack dab in the sexual revolution when women felt that not having sex with 20-30 different partners a week meant they were still tied into the repressive patriarchy and it's paleothic sexual morality.
Then they all got herpes. So most of them rediscovered traditional morality and its stress on not getting a sexually transmitted disease. Which really screwed me over because I was too young in the 1970s to take advantage of all the lowered standards of the time.
That was in high school. I had more stamina then.
OK, you other guys with kids. You're probaly a lot younger than me; I'm 45. (I'm running out of excuses here.)

I think stress plays a big part. My gf works up to 60 hours a week and between school and my jobs, I am well past 50 hours. We often just collapse into bed during the week with no lovin'. I can't imagine what throwing a couple kids into the mix would do. However, there was a time when we were both unemployed and we were having sex several times a day. We still make time for it, but nothing beats copious amounts of idle time to boost the love life.

I'm 42 sorry I can't help you. I have a 7 and 6 year old. Sometimes it isn't easy but if you and your mate want it enough, you can plan it in. I will concede that sex isn't as impetuous as it once was. I have to think that 30 years ago that kids were as much in the way then as they are today. Yet it is true that now married with kids it is more difficult to have the numbers I did single. But I don't feel I have less of a constitution or appetite at this junction in life.
Oh by the way Funkenpants during a time like the 70's when it seems like everyone is doing it all the time. Is more reason for someone to lie to claim they are getting more than the next guy or so they don't look like they are getting left out. I think the stats from the 70's are bogus. Even when I was single living in VT with 4 or so screw buddies. 20 times a month was a number that I didn't hit very often.
