More and more of us are making excuses to avoid it, according to a recent study

Whether it’s due to tiredness, stress, children or work, there are a multitude of reasons why bedroom action isn’t happening as much as we might like. And, surprisingly, it’s got nothing to do with whether you’re single or in a relationship.
A recent survey of 2,000 adults by Lovehoney found that one in 10 of us feels like sex is a chore – just another task on our to-do lists, and more than half of us admit that tiredness is the biggest cause of a dry spell.
