" A new survey by British television station Sky Real Lives found that 28% of women over 35 say they never have sex \u2013 and another 32% say they only have sex once a week. The study (released in conjunction with a new television series, The Secret Guide to Women&amp;#039;s Health) found a number of reasons behind the statistic \u2013 the most surprising of which might be that often it&amp;#039;s the man in the relationship, not the woman, who is lagging in drive. This is an issue we&amp;#039;ve addressed before (check out our story on 8 Reasons He Doesn&amp;#039;t Want to Have Sex), and the reasons why a man might lack in sex drive are intuitive enough: anything from stress at work (or stress from not working) to medical issues to increasing access to pornography. And my thought is, well\u2026 duh!, The fact that it&amp;#039;s this kernel of the survey (which, incidentally, also talks about menopause and depression) that generates the headlines makes one thing clear to me: It&amp;#039;s about time we accept that men and women have equally nuanced approaches to our sex lives. Our husbands aren&amp;#039;t sex-starved teenagers. They&amp;#039;re human beings who, just like women, have trouble letting go of their daily anxieties. And their relationship with sex is exactly that \u2013 a relationship \u2013 with any number of factors affecting it. Certainly worrying about whether he should be in the mood isn&amp;#039;t going to help anything! Maybe we should all cut our guys some (pardon the pun) slack?
