Passion is short-lived

RESEARCHERS claim that it takes just one year for women to lose their passion in a relationship.

Their interest in sex tends to die down after a year of living with the same partner, according to the largest study of sexual habits in the UK.

After 12 months, sexual apathy among women quadruples, researchers at Southampton University discovered.

The feeling, however, is one-sided. Men are interested in sex no matter how long they have been in a relationship. The research was published in the medical journal BMJ Open.
