More than 40 per cent of British women admit they’re UNHAPPY with their sex lives — and many are suffering in silence
Official research found that women aged between 25 and 34 were the least satisfied in the bedroom whereas those in their mid-50s had the fewest complaints
FOUR in ten British women are unhappy with their sex lives, according to an official survey.
Those aged 25 to 34 were least satisfied in bed — with 49 per cent lacking sexual enjoyment.
But those in their mid-50s or nearing retirement were the most contented — with 29 per cent complaining.
Public Health England questioned 7,367 women about their sex lives in the first official survey of its kind.
Overall 42 per cent said they were unhappy — and other findings reveal many are suffering in silence with issues that curb their sexual enthusiasm.
Nearly half have suffered from heavy periods and other menstrual problems over the past year — with those in their teens and early 20s particularly affected.
Menopause symptoms were the biggest issue facing those between 55 and 64 — but less than half sought help from a doctor. Nearly three in five also lied to their bosses due to perceived stigma.
Dr Sue Mann from PHE said: “Many women are reporting sexual dysfunction but many are not seeking help. We need to empower women to educate themselves and feel confident speaking about it.”
