Did your steamy fantasies fizzle out decades ago? From low self-esteem and busy schedules to hormonal changes, there are many reasons why your sex life may not be as you'd like it.

Take our quiz to find out what could be causing your slump and how to spice things up before the season's out.
TAKE THE TEST
Circle the answers that best describe you
1 How often do you have sex?
A Once a fortnight. I'd like more, but I wait for my partner to initiate it.
B Regularly on holiday, but much less back home.
C Once a week, usually on a Saturday night.
D Once a month. I have to psych myself up these days.
2 Do you orgasm?
A Sometimes it depends whether my partner hits the spot.
B Rarely. Sex is usually an unsatisfying quickie.
C No. It's all about the missionary position for us - and that doesn't do the trick for me.
D Never. I often feel tired and unsexy, and sex can be painful.
3 Do you engage in much foreplay?
A Not really - I'm not certain what to do and my partner heads straight for the main event.
B Never-who has time for foreplay? C Not much - we stick to the same routine we've followed for years.
D No-I can't be bothered. I don't have the energy or the inclination.
4 How do you feel about using 4 sex toys?
