Forget Viagra! For those looking for a better sex life, travel may be just what the doctor ordered.
A recent survey conducted by Edge Research polled 1,100 adults via a Random Digital Dialing phone survey between November 26 and December 9, 2012. What they found was 77% of respondents who travel as a couple said they had a good sex life, compared to 63% of couples who do not travel together. In terms of the couples that do travel together, eight in ten believed they had a good sex life. And when looking at the couples that do not travel together, nearly one in four admitted they did not have time for intimacy.
“What we’ve long known anecdotally, we’re now proving through authoritative research: travel has a positive effect on relationships,” said Roger Dow, president and CEO of the U.S. Travel Association. “Couples who travel together have healthier, happier relationships compared to those who do not travel together.”
