Couples enjoy the best sex of their lives after four years together, a study revealed yesterday (Mon).
Researchers found 50 months into a relationship is the point when people feel comfortable enough and confident enough to fully lose their inhibitions in the bedroom.
One in four of the 3,000 adults polled admitted they were more confident with their body after a few years of being together
And 60 per cent said they felt more able to try new things four years down the line.
The survey also revealed two thirds of the 3,000 couples polled believe the longer you have been together the more passionate the sex becomes.
A spokesman for Philips Intimate Massagers said: ''It's encouraging that so many couples say their love life improves the longer they have been together.
''Initially when you meet a new partner you can go through a stage where you're a little shy and everything is new and unfamiliar, so it's great when you get to the stage where you feel confident, satisfied and most of all sexy.
''Sex is just like any other part of a relationship; it grows and develops in time.
''It's important to work at having a good sex life and being comfortable enough with one another to suggest new things is key to keeping it alive - using something like an intimate massager can really help spice things up between the sheets.''
The study also revealed one in ten reckon their love lives improved after they got married while four per cent of women said trying for a child was the best sex they'd had.
But patience must be a virtue - as one in twenty couples think they have enjoyed the best sex a whopping fifteen years into their relationship.
A romantic 38 per cent of men said their sex life improved after they got married and a soppy 53 per cent of both men and women said they fancied their partner more now than when they first met.
