6 Reasons For A Sexless Marriage

A sexless marriage can be seen as one where a couple doesn’t engage in sexual encounters or the frequency of sexual activity is minimal. Here are six reasons for sexless marriage.

Childbirth or menopause

Menopause and sexless marriage bear a close correlation. Menopause too affects a woman’s hormonal levels, resulting in a low desire for sex. In the case of childbirth, however, the pause in the couple’s sex life is usually temporary.

Performance anxiety

Fear of being unable to perform sexually or to satisfy your partner could lead to a serious dip in physical intimacy,

For men, this could become an issue since they are conditioned to initiate and lead sexual activity. Likewise for women, body image issues can impede sexual desire and interfere with their ability to engage with a partner sexually,

Low sex drive

It’s a fact that your libido decreases as you age. This universal truth applies to both men and women. That’s why it’s not unusual for couples in their 50s and beyond to co-exist in a sexless marriage or engage in sexual activity very rarely, if at all.

Health issues

A sexless marriage is to be expected if one or both partners suffer from major health issues. For instance, if a partner has been incapacitated due to an accident or a degenerative medical condition, sex naturally gets withdrawn from the equation.

Addiction

If one of the partners – or perhaps both – suffer from addiction, it’s nearly impossible for them to have a flourishing sex life. Drugs and alcohol can impact libidos and the ability to perform sexual acts in the long run.

Relationship issues

Cheating, extramarital affairs, gaslighting, controlling behaviour, manipulation, unhealthy fights, trust issues , such toxic relationship issues take a toll on your relationship.

Owing to such underlying issues, spouses often begin to resent each other. This, in turn, negatively impacts their sexual bond too.
