It turns out feeling young at heart is even better than you thought.
According to a new study by Recreation and Leisure Studies’ Steven Mock, the younger you feel, the more likely you are to be satisfied with your sex life. The study examined data collected in the Midlife in the United States (MIDUS) study between 1995 and 2005.
“What was clear from the data is that feeling younger had a huge impact on how people felt about the quality of their sex life and how interested they were in having sex,” says Steven.
Student researcher Amy Estill, who led the research while completing her master’s degree, concurs: “While feeling younger didn’t impact how much sex people were having, it was quite clear that feeling older does impact the quality of sex you’re having.”
The study has been published in the Journal of Sex Research.
