New research suggests that sexual problems in middle-aged and older aged men may be linked to the relationship between their best friends and their partner.
The research was conducted by scholars at the University of Chicago and Cornell University and is now published in the American Journal of Sociology. They found a relationship between sexual problems and the relationship the male participant had with their best friends and partner. When the female partner came too close, having even better relationships with the best friends than the male partner, this was associated with sexual problems such as having difficulty getting or maintaining an erection or having trouble achieving an orgasm during sex.
Cases where the friendship is stronger for the female partner as opposed to the male partner were labeled as ‘partner betweenness’ by the researchers.
