Dr Dietrich Klusmann, lead author of the study and a psychologist from Hamburg-Eppendorf University Hospital, believed the differences were down to human evolution. # w; W- ^& s; ] `5 N/ U4 e2 N7 S; F( w
He said: "For men, a good reason their sexual motivation to remain constant would be to guard against being cuckolded by another male." - |) K1 K% r, D8 i9 X: [

But women, he said, have evolved to have a high sex drive when they are initially in a relationship in order to form a "pair bond" with their partner. / D g: B5 f( h, L6 o& H! J0 q' z4 a' n2 u
But, once this bond is sealed a woman's sexual appetite declines, he added. ' K z) [5 `- P- p! u0 y( w & ?2 [2 F) l- [, Y& O; b) BHe said animal behaviour studies suggest this could be because females may be diverting their sexual interest towards other men, in order to secure the best combinations of genetic material for their offspring. t0 Z6 S `.

Or, he said, this could be because limiting sex may boost their partner's interest in it. f8 F( W/ ?$ h- k3 E: a( @9 r

Professor George Fieldman, an evolutionary psychologist from Buckinghamshire Chilterns University College, said: "These findings seem to fit in with anecdotal studies and his explanations seem plausible. 8 E7 U) @0 o& A( a6 i

"The rational for why a woman's sex drive declines may be down to supply and demand. If something is in infinite supply, the perceived value would drop."
