Liberal Democrats voters are most likely to rate their libido as high or very high, according to new research from sexual wellness brand Lovehoney. But while 59% of Lib Dems say they have a high drive, Labour voters have the lowest rate of satisfaction with 21% rating their libido as low or very low.
Lib Dem supporters were most likely to say they are satisfied or very satisfied (59%) – as well as being the most likely to be doing it every day (9%).
Annabelle Knight, Sex and Relationship Expert at Lovehoney, said: “Looking at the data, it’s not surprising that those who are willing to try new things, communicate with partners, and talk openly about sex are having the best quality sex life. Particularly at stressful times like election periods, sex is a great way to unwind and connect with your partner (or even just yourself).”

Annabelle shares her top tips for climbing the satisfaction polls:
-
Have a clear manifesto: Just as a solid manifesto is critical in politics, understanding and setting out what you want in the bedroom is hugely important for a satisfied sex life. Have open conversations with your partner and don’t be afraid to tell them what you like and what you want to achieve in the bedroom.
-
Refresh tired old policies: When it comes to sex, variety is the spice of life and rolling out tired old policies time and time again in the bedroom are unlikely to help keep things interesting.
-
Keep debate out of the bedroom: While we’re all for communication and talking, sometimes it’s best to leave debate out of the bedroom – a sure-fire mood killer is discussing politics during playtime. Stick to pleasure over politics in the bedroom.
