London - If a man’s wife is happy, laid-back and curious about life, then the couple are more likely to have a more active sex life, a study has found.
The husband’s personality, on the other hand, doesn’t tend to have much of an effect on how often the couple have sex, according to researchers at Florida State University.
In the survey of 278 heterosexual couples, wives were found to be the “gatekeepers” of sex in relationships. The more agreeable and open they were, the greater the probability they were having sex more frequently with their husband.
In the survey, the researchers noted that previous studies had shown men were more likely to initiate sex. But they found no link between husbands’ personality and frequency of sex.They went on to point out that ‘women’s rather than men’s personality predicts probability of sex in relationships’.
However, when it came to sexual satisfaction, the personalities of both the wives and husbands mattered. The more neurotic they were, the lower their levels of satisfaction.
