A quarter of women over 35 say they never have sex





More than one in four British women aged 35 and over "never" have sex, a poll has revealed.

A total of 28% of women said they never make love, with the figure being highest in Scotland (38%). Meanwhile, 32% of women in the Midlands said they have sex on a weekly basis.

Among those having sex, women without children said they had more orgasms, with 41% saying they orgasm most of the time. The figure dropped to 12% of women with one child and 14% of those with two.

Most women said the daily grind of the office had an impact on their sex lives, with 67% of those working part time saying they had orgasms most or all of the time compared with 55% of women working full time.

The survey was released by Sky Real Lives to mark the launch of its new series, The Secret Guide To Women's Health.

It found most women admit to violent mood swings at certain times of the month, with 35% of those aged 35 to 44 saying they felt violent tendencies towards themselves or someone else during their period.

The poll of 745 women also found that 42% of those aged 35 to 64 have sought medical help for depression or are thinking about doing so.

Barbara Gibbon, head of Sky Real Lives, said: "Women's health has never been such a hot topic.

"The survey results indicate that there are issues that are just not being talked about and women are suffering in silence - PMS (premenstrual syndrome) and its mental impact being just one case in point.

"As a channel dedicated to women, we feel that looking into every aspect of health and delivering key information to our audience is incredibly important - knowledge really is power."

..oh wow, the results are a little bit of a shocker because I keep thinking that people (regardless of gender) these days started having sex at a very early age.

i could end some of the ladies depressions

maybe due to women are now demanding more and more on career until personal life is compromised, this is my opinion. Seriously i saw many career women are so hard working and concentrate solely on career until there is no or little personal life in them...not only sex but social life as well.

I think there's some truth in this...........

At first it talk bout the result of survey for woman in British,
then slowly it talk like that represent the entire female population?

Some good things are worth keeping i guess?

Like wine? Longer u keep better it gets?

I was questioning it until I saw it was British women

Now it all makes sense as to why they arent having sex

They should come here. Lots of men dying to have sex............

why they never had sex?lol...simple...Ppl dont feel like doing anything with her...HAAHA

what's the problem of not having sex?

i am amazed at how some close-minded people here thinking that having sex is a 'must' in one's life...

having sex or not is one's choice, be it woman or man... it's not a necessity like food or air...

hmm how surprising

i hope i dont end up that way when i'm after 35. but im havin' sex even when i'm focus on my career. just need to balance between sexercising n work.

n yea.. sex is becoming a lil overrated at the moment (although the pleasure n intensity is fulfilling ). its all up to an individual anyways... n sex isn't that enjoyable when there's no mutual connection with someone.

Unbelievable or not, it happened!! wow!! =)

Agree with you on this.........i think the most insecure ppl are those who will try anything to have sex just so they can be part of a "culture" or a "trend of modern society" that to them seems relevant, not like olden days thinking. I still believe in integrity and self esteem to be a top most priority in a person, not whether how many times he/she got laid.

you ish very experienced. care to share tips? =P

what happened? you had sex today?

there are cases with women naturally born with low sex drive, dono if it's biological factor or mentality. but like mentioned above, it depends to the women. some had it very early some late, some just to follow trend (peer pressure). but sex is a natural thing, just go with nature
other than the many benefits which have been pointed out by experts, it makes a woman feels sexy too. however, still, i do believe some don't even have the TIME to, seeing that women nowadays are thrown with much more burdens and responsibilities than before.

dey dun hav sex coz European dont shave........

they cant shave.......too cold later all freeze.......

the more education a woman has, the less likely she wants to have kids let alone be married. Over 35 ...

fixed.

i do cater milf type..please pm for more info..thx

is that true??? ifeel oversea people should more open minded, may have sex early ald

lol... no i'm not. had my share of guys to know that its not hard to find for sex, but its hard to find for a partner / lover that knows exactly what you want or how to please u. =)

i'm available just in case, interested party can pm me, we can meet, no names or personal info exchange during meet, do our deed, share some opinion kinda of thing & that's it.

let me know.................

Ain't it amazing to see a topic like this can be changed to some sort soft soliciting haha...

to all the wannabe gigolo out there.. you might just reached the chest height of a typical scottish chick.
which aint' too bad you know, since u won't bet that much interested in conversations and eye contacts.

but have you ever wondered, what would it do to your ego when if, in the mid of the action,
she turned around ask ya ..

"is it in yet ?"

little fellas, stick to your midnite one arm snake wrestling la
and remember to wash your underwear after that instead of chucking it to the washing machine with the rest of the family's laundry..

oh btw midlands chicks are pretty much yobs and by the age of 32 they're alrady grandma..
and their hero is john terry.

definitely i do encourage you try your luck there.
just try to wear a chealsea t shirt there , adidas sneakers and a burberry cap.

you'd just be as fashionable as they are.

indeed suprising!

i had my very first time sex when i was 14 =/

yeah exactly. meaningless sex is a major bummer to me. If im happiest even without sex its still a good thing. =)

Promotion of yourself? Try the services thread. =P

And what did u remember/cherish/obtain/achieve/understand from that at that age?

oh you mean with yourself ?
like.. in front of the of a webcam ?

sex becomes secondary when u realize the pleasure only last a short period of time... while doing it with someone that means a lot to u, the feeling is just different.

I'm dying for sex...just don't understand why gals don't feel that way....SEX is the best medicine for everything,,,,anyone looking for sex...i can offer even european...haha

lol. that's the difference between men n women. guys just feel the sensation at the moment n have that need all the time. ladies, when they're doing it..their mind is wondering "is this right?", "does he like it?", "what will he be like after sex?", "will he still love me?" or "is this the only thing he wants from me?" kinda crap....

sex is not the best medicine but a fast route away from stress. it helps control one's emotions n etc. but doing it with the wrong person.. u can get worse instead of better. been there tried it.. kinda crappy after a while.

better to Do It Yourself sometimes............

if you cant "love" yourself better, how u gona "love" others just as good? =)

ya..........without sex most guy's will end up "5 VS 1"

serius case may need 10 vs 1

agree

i think most of the time, men wants women to show love through sex, so that it becomes something that can be felt, something physical.
so there's a saying women make love to be intimate with their men, and men be intimate to make love with their women.
but sometimes, women feel unappreciated or unloved right after the sex, because, well, most guys just no longer be that intimate after sex unlike before sex when they have foreplay etc, cus some guys just doze off to sleep after climaxing. guys should take 10 mins time to hold the girl and hug her (after play). some small talk etc or just cuddle. give her assurance and feeling of security. this is the part alot of couples have missed out. it's the time they can bond with other, understand their emotional needs not just physical needs.

I'm a Male in this part. This is my opinion about sex though. Some people Have personal beliefs and tend to keep their virginity and tend to wait for the right guy/girl and lose their virginity. Then what do they do with their sex lives upon waiting for the right guy/girl. Some tend to please themselves ( Masturbation ) and just live their life that way. FYI excessive masturbation makes you feel loneliness and afraid to reveal your true selves.

y is dat?
masturbation is like bat practice b4 the big game.....

stretching before doing gymnastics eh?

I said Excessive masturbation... Btw do you need to masturbate b4 doing it meh ? *weird* I just read some article that if you always masturbate it will effect your mental health on yourself...

no...u masturbate wen u don't hav any1 to do it wit......

hm.....share the article a bit......how often is consider unhealthy?
for me, i think 2 ~ 3 times a week is pretty normal.....

masturbation is easy...aiyo can someone plz tell him/her. Shy to tell u cause it's so open at here...lol

not hard to find sex? right.....................................

Agreed!
Even as a man, I also getting "choosy" for partner when I getting older.
Yup, I am still a cat who like fish, but will like to find the right fish. Else, 5vs1 will be better.

masturbation is a must for male/females before having a sex intercourse .

Just like doing sports , you need to warm up first.

later wen u got even older & still single.....
u'll bcom less choosy & F any1 dat u possibly can....

Is this true?
I never did that if I have a partner. Why u need it even u have a partner?
Maybe there is some foreplay, but definately not "Masturbate"


Bro, maybe u r too "hungry". not all guy is "universal socket"

Yes correct, obviously not a universal socket

I agree. Like everything else u can get bored of it. But if done with someone special, it's all the more passionate all the more spicier. + i get to wrap her in my arms and wake up to her in the morning.

lol. sadly.. i dont even enjoy 'doin' it myself' ~. n yet.. i'm doubtful with the word 'love'. how?

lol. i think that depends. some guys just wants to get in n out. they just need that sensation on the lower part of their brains in that case. n for some guys..its not bout showing love but enjoying it together.

as for showin' the love n appreciation... sex puts the flow of certain emotions but not enough to 'show their love' for everything. n if sex is the only time one can show his love... might as well just go find a sex partner n enjoy the love in bed. cause when u're out there, u're not gonna treat her the way she wants it (or at least hope for it)

lets talk bout masturbation. what's the fun of it? LOL~ i can never enjoy it... does that mean that i'm not afraid to reveal my true self?

the whole time, from my gal friends n etc... i learn that those that masturbates tends to reveal more of themselves to their partner compared to those that doesnt.

well, i think sex will increase the bonding between the lover and for me i think it is quite important.
not sex because of love and etc, but sex is to strengthen the bond between the two lover..
if the other party refused to have an intercourse, try to imagine what the other partner would feel,
devastated because the lack of a bonding... more often a guy will feel more devastated than the girl...
like how mens does not understand womens, same goes for how womens does not understand mens.
finding another partner just to fulfill mens sexual desire, that is just a total lust.


masturbation?
oh my..
you can't enjoy it or have u not done it correctly???? LOL
im kidding!
i dont think masturbate had anything to reveal about that particular person, it cant be counted.
when a person masturbate, lust thoughts usually take over.
and overtime it's not really yourself that you are revealing, its just the lust part of yourself.
unless you're a such a person that lust is so much of what it makes of you, then i dont think you're revealing yourself.
=)

seriously, if i'm gonna see my guy masturbating in front of me n i'm not touching him.. the first thing i'll think is "which gal is it in his mind" n the next thing i'll do is walk away. so boring...

i think u meant foreplay / oral sex. lol

lol. in a way of saying.. it is more of sex is a tool to enhance a relationship. i think i stated this before somewhere. i wont say its a must, but to bond closer, sex will be a strong tool. after all the pain n pleasure than comes with it

masturbation..i do not enjoy it. it is different when u're playing with urself n when someone's playing with u. lol. i'm sure u know how that is like. ~ wahahahaha

lust.. what a nice term. ...i dont have must lust to last a full course of masturbation. i get bored within the first minute. i'll stay with the real deal n the real touch n the real taste n the real scent.

Oh mai.

hahahha like they always say, great minds think alike.
its an absolute tool to bond the relationship closer im sure.

wahahahhaha
ic ic, i dont blame you, obviously the real deal is so much better

i agree

U just need a simple guy who can simply love and be loved. =D

why is it hard to match man and woman? i myself also find it hard...just dun know why

its just an excuse. nobody wanna have sex with em

aye aye

lol. before i get that, i think i need to learn to love n share.

wow... is that true???????

U can masturbate everyday,it wont do any harm but if u masturbate too often in one day then it will affect your health.

This can only mean a few things

1) The population of women are 33% larger than the population of men; or
2) 1 out of 4 men over 35 also never had sex; or
3) Women are having sex with more than 1 man (the most likely scenario)

women are having sex with more than 1 man!!! i agree on this ~ *ops*

what do u feel's when u do sex?

OH MAI....carmen?

Is sex really THAT important?

go have it, n then come n tell us. enlighten us on ur feelings. if u're a guy n u want to know how a gal will feel, try anal ~

yes

sex is sex. in many ways it brings two people closer to one another, but in some...it breaks many things apart. i wouldn't say it is not important or it is important, as it depends on who u're doing it with n what u feel from it. of course the pleasure could be overwhelming to think bout it..

i wonder how many men you had. =P

i guess you never had more then 10...

you'll all be suprised if i tell u my numbers here, lol

Have you had sex before? Try masturbating and then doing it right after it.

Hahax ^^ not true .. =P my gf shave even thou it's freezing cool .. she's from norway .. =P i've been studying in europe .. i been doing many .. ahem .. =P 90% of them shave .. lol

I think i probably will have sex only after married. or maybe we already confirm we will together then only will have sex

still old minder...haha

Good Gal, I'm with you on this!

quite a fair bit..

how to answer this question...

had more than 10 men in a lifetime (4 months to be precise) but never more than 1 at a time.
n yes, i never had more than 10 this year. accurately, i haven't had even one this year. LOL~

oh, i'm waiting...

LOL
tell me urs and i'll tell u mine

hahahaha... frankly speaking, i lost count after 1 month. KEKEKEE...!!

that is the reason why i kept a daily journal

owh? i was supposed to keep a journal? ...great. i'll remember to grab one this year. (although i got a feeling its gonna be empty the whole year around) ~

Oh please...

women basically are not sex demanded as high as men, the more happen to those women who hav to run for their career

total agree with you...not enjoyable when there is no mutual connection...but for guys they dont even care...some even prefer no connection so that they can touch and go...what i dont understand is why they just dont pay up at those sex places..why must be looking for free and easy?

little bit money also want to save, and then go online and always try looking for free. wasting time. and wasting the other person time also

in b4 can i have sex with you.

Hi, I don't know where you hear this nonsense from, but men DON'T want free sex because it is more expensive than paid sex. What they want is REAL sex, not some fake pretend sex they get from paid sex. Unfortunately, women who don't enjoy sex aren't very good at real sex. That's why prostitution business is good.

+1
agree with you spanker...

They miss out the better things in life.

oh yeah... GRRRrrrr... where's my men? ~ hahahaha... sorry, no longer play around. too bored of it.


i disagree... women can go on n on n on in one day without any limits. while men have their limits. n when a lady is high in sex.. that's the end. at times, can never be satisfied.

its not bout the money... but the willingness of the person to do it without a benefit other than pleasure. the reason y they dont want the connection is because they can't bare the emotions that runs around. its better not to be tied up when u're not ready than tie urself up n realizing how wrong it is.

prostitutes are always available at a certain price. but it is rare they have the fun that comes with it, since its all just experience n they're only willing cause of money. end of the day, u dont find the joy in sex.

literally...that's true. when a girl isn't comfortable, they wont enjoy n relax in it. n that's when sex is just horrifyingly boring. prostitution is a good business only because ppl is in need of being released n prostitution is an easier route around it.

Dude this is like 3 years old thread.

gosh...
