Sexless marriage

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A sexless marriage is a marriage in which little to no sex is had between the two partners.

[edit] Causes

Sexless marriages generally develop over time and are gradual. Love and intimacy generally existed in a relationship but sex starts to become less and less of a factor. The following are causes:

  • Lack of sexual vitality of the female/male due to age.
  • Different work schedules/busy lives.
  • Children.
  • Homosexuality of one or more of the partners.

Some people choose to have a sexless marriage from the beginning, whether it be due to one or both partners being asexual, past trauma, or simply because it is a marriage of convenience, or one or both of the partners has an incompatible sexual orientation.
