Incredible as it seems, not all young men want more sex.

An Australian study of men, 12 per cent between the ages of 16 and 24 said they wanted less sex – the highest proportion of any age group.

“Though a minority, it is always interesting to see that it’s more of them (as any other age), which is not the kind of myth that boys do not get enough sex and die for it, “Juliet Richters, an associate professor in sexual health, said at the University of New South Wales, told Reuters.

Richter and a team of researchers from across Australia have a number of surveyed 4,300 heterosexual men and 4,400 women aged 16 and 64.

Said another survey five years ago, showed similar results.

Only 31 percent of men in this age group said they wanted more sex, the lowest of all ages as well.

“It’s very possible that they are overwhelmed by the girls for much of the same age who are in love and very bright,” he said.

“It’s also men of this age of one year or more to engage in a relationship.”

More predictably, the survey found that 57 percent of men between 35 and 44 have more sex, against only 28 percent of women, while 14 percent of women said they wanted less.

Half of men aged 55-64 wanted more sex, while only 27 percent are women of the same age felt the same.

“The explanation of evolution is that women are interested in sex when they can conceive. A social explanation is a lot of things, including time, pressure, fatigue,” said Richter.

“I mean, sex is a leisure activity, after all.”
