WASHINGTON, Dec. 4 (UPI) -- Although 74 percent of U.S. retirees say they are happier, 71 percent report more housework and 22 report less sex, a survey indicates.

The AARP survey, conducted by Opinion Research Corp. of 1,064 people ages 55-75 who are married or living as married, finds 64 percent of retirees say adjusting to their retirement was what they expected, 12 percent say they find it harder and 23 percent say they find it easier than expected.
