For anyone who's been in a relationship a while now the sex has probably already reached it's zenith and it's all down hill from here.
Around 3,000 couples aged between 25 to 41 were surveyed by researchers once a year for three years.
They were asked questions like “How satisfied are you with your sex life?” and “How often do you have sex?” among others.
They found that for most people sexual satisfaction increased during the first six months of the relationship but was highest during the second half of their first year in a relationship together, according to the study which was published in the journal Archives of Sexual Behaviour.
The scientists running the study believe satisfaction increases during the first year as the couple learn what each other likes and about their sexual desires.
But after this initial 12 months it all starts to decline.
The data suggests that changes in the amount of sex the couples were having partially accounted for the fall in sexual satisfaction in the second year.
Decreases in sexual passion could also be a factor in this. Or Match of the Day, who knows?
