Playing hard to get and keeping potential lovers at arm's length will not lead to more sex, according to new research. Scientists say that acting aloof in a bid to increase desire in a potential lover does not work. The study called Intimately Connected: The Importance of Partner Responsiveness for Experiencing Sexual Desire, confirmed that sexual desire gradually subsides over time. It showed both women and men expressing more sexual desire for each other if they thought their partner was more responsive. "This allowed them to assess whether responsiveness directly correlated to an increase in sexual desire over time."
