From Wikipedia:
I've even heard gay men say that many women who want to have a relationship with a woman will get trapped into the 'Lesbian Death Bed' situation.
Is this true or is it actually sexist thinking?
I would like to hear your thoughts.
What do you all think about 'Lesbian Death Bed'? Do you think it's true, false or in between? Do you think that they do have less sex but can go on for longer? Do you think that it depends on the couple? Do you think it's not even about the gender and more about the person?Lesbian bed death is the concept that lesbian couples in committed relationships have less sex than any other type of couple the longer the relationship lasts, and generally experience less sexual intimacy as a consequence. It may also be defined as a drop-off in sexual activity two years into a long-term lesbian relationship.
The concept is based on 1983 research by social psychologist Philip Blumstein and sociologist Pepper Schwartz, published in American Couples: Money, Work, Sex, which found that lesbian couples reported lower numbers when asked "About how often during the last year have you and your partner had sex relations?"[4] The research has been criticized for its methodology and because sexual activity decreases for all long-term couples regardless of sexual orientation. Analyses of the concept have therefore regarded it as a popular myth.
