Definition[edit | edit source]
Two informal definitions:
A sexless marriage is one of the following
- Having sex less than 10 times per year
- Having sex (no more than) once a month
Rollo Tomassi says:
"Without sex, what is there? Sex is the glue that keeps a marriage together. Sex is the glue that keeps a relationship together. Sex is what defines a marriage between a man and woman."
"Without sex, what do you have? A roommate? Brother and sister? I can get by on my own with a maid, with laundry service. I can get the things I can get from a wife elsewhere. I can get sex from a prostitute, but without her genuine desire."
Culprits[edit | edit source]
The two main culprits cited as the main cause for a sexless marriage are age and marital dissatisfaction. Women mostly cited marital dissatisfaction.
Familiarity is anti-seductive. Comfort is anti-seductive. Routine is anti-seductive.
Men's sexuality is always on, women's sexuality is cyclic.
