Yes it is true after some time married the sex gets less and less of our time...it is then that respects takes place...unfortunately that is the truth in almost all relationships

I very much doubt it.

I hope not, we have less sex after the baby but that is from being tired, any less would be none, I think he would opt out of marriage if it meant no sex at all :)

With each other ;)

I think that they are, most of the people i have talked to who have been married or in a relationship for years have all said the same. It seems that the price we pay for adhereing to the ridiculous life long monogamy thing is eventually denying the sexual side of our nature. Obviously exceptions exist, and all power to them, but on the whole it fades away. Then one person may get awakened by someone they come across (excuse the pun) get tempted into having sex with them and thier 20 year relationship fractures as a result. I think this is especially true for people who get together very young, say 20, by the time they reach 40 their sexlife is almost non existent (for loads of reasons) It seems crazy to me, and im always puzzled by peoples refusal to renegotiate thier relationship. The love is still there but he physical stuff just doesnt work any more...seems a damn shame to throw away a partnership becuase you have based you relationship on what society tells you is the norm...however unsustainabkle that may be. Gay people often renegotiate thier relationship and are happy, straight people dont seem to be able to cos society tells them its wrong and everyone would judge them. Buggered if i could live with all that ridiculous pressure

15 to 20 percent of couples have sex no more than 10 times a year, which experts define as a sexless marriage. — Newsweek No more than 10 times per year is considered a sexless marriage by most experts.

God I hope not!!! but that would explain why there are alot of angry people out there.

I hope not. I think maybe it's because after having children, they're less interested in sex.

yep, cause the necessity to have sex to make babies is not there.

I would hope not, but from the married couples I know.. well; I don't doubt it.

Couples are more legitimate to decide for themselves!

I've heard of same sex marriages but never sexless ones... are you sure there so common?

No matter how good that cracker is that you are eating, eventually it will taste like crap if that is all you have to eat. I have a know a number of couples about age 40, who have sexless marriage for one reason or another, and yes some of those have ended in divorce. That being said, the number is hard to put down, as a lot of people do not want to talk about it. But even it was 40 or 50%, you would probably still be shocked, as it would mean that you would have a good chance of being in a sexless marriage. Edit.... Do a search "low sex" on answerbag and you will see how prevalent the condition of a sexless marriage is, as there are a lot of people on here that are in one and want to know what there is to help their relationship.

NO, they just don't have alot of sex, if they are lucky maybe 1 every two weeks or so....

I have never hear any thing so sad I fuck my wife once every day or two

like everyone else i hope not... if there is no sex and affection in a marriage i think there is a problem ... its a sign of love

That's a scary question I hope I'll stay in the 23%

i do not know, but one of my friend only has sex about once a month......

OMG really????? someone say it is not sooo....

i hope not, poor people :(

I believe it. Starts out great, then falls off. I've only been married once and then in a serious relationship over the past 26 years. I blame it on the women.....sorry girls, call it like I see it. Two however is not a great statistical survey.

true sexless marriages are about 20%. the number gets pegged as much higher by the subjectiveness of the word sexless. some people would consider anything less than every day"sexless" some people consider having sex with only one person as "sexless" while for others its once a week, etc. and, yes, its true that it is USUALLY the woman who gives up sex, and YES, it is true that she does it because the husband has given up on love. simple version= no loving relationship, no sexual relationship

i thought that was true of older couples like my parents...till i heard them doing it

That's too high. Below 30 perhaps. I guess people get bored with their legal partner, it's also due to the fact that most people have sex before marriage. I suspect they actually have sex somewhere elses or watching porn.... LOL.

This isn't true but it's far from rare as well. A marriage is defined as sexless if the couple have sex 10 times a year or less. A recent survey found that 10-15% of couples live in sexless marriages. You can read more about it here: http://fixyoursexlessmarriage.com/

I seriously doubt it. Unless you count marriages which are sexless just for today... I gather the average that married people have sex is about twice a week, so on any one day, around three quarters won't be having sex that particular day.

I don't know. Where did you get your statistics?
