She’s factually wrong. People with good sex lives who stay together report that it does get better with age. Even over the age of 60, 70 and even 80.

For more information about the people who have stellar sex lives, read ‘magnificent sex’, by Peggy Kleinplatz.

Some of the people she interviewed had sex in the context of a love relationship, some had more casual connections. Plenty of people for whom it was part of a profound connection.

So it depends. But her thought process doesn’t seem based on a very thorough investigation of the subject.

The whole time I was reading the article, I was thinking, "Speak for yourself, lady."

I'm sure sex and love don't go together for everyone, and that's all well and good. But they definitely do go together for some of us. Sex is significantly better for me when I'm in love. Sex without love can be fun, but the connection is the best thing about sex. The feeling of being deeply intertwined with someone, of hyperfocusing on your shared pleasure--that's what makes for great sex. Not picturing someone hotter than your partner. At least for me.

This lady is incredibly dumb in my opinion. She thinks for two week course on sex therapy in the 80s given to her as training to be a probation officer qualifies her any any way to make the claims.

Sex doesn't require love, but to say they are antithetical is truly divorced from reality. How can someone communicate with other humans and come to that conclusion? I'd imagine she has mental health issues that prevent her from experiencing sexual arousal with someone who she is emotionally connected. Instead of going to therapy to work through those issues, she just assumes her problems are normal and universal. Then she writes a book and and article above how everyone is the same as her and her problem is a feature not a bug. Then some ethically challenged editor picks her article for publication.

Many people have incredible sex with people who the have deeply intimate romantic relationships with. It's incredibly common. Sometimes that sex is cuddly cute sex, which some people prefer. Sometimes that sex is hardcore roleplaying. The BDSM world isn't full of crazy adrenaline junkies who fuck complete strangers every night. It's full of loving caring couples who beat each other and talk dirty for fun. But then they do aftercare, which is more lovely dovey stuff.

This lady's article wouldn't have been so bad if she just made it clear that this was purely her individual experience and others are obviously different. But, writing like a self centered narcissist is sadly a requirement for editors to choose your unresearched drivel for their papers.
