The reasons these couples give for not having sex will shock you

These couples have something very important missing from their relationships – Sex.

Research recently carried out by Sun UK on 2016 newlyweds says that while most argue that sex is very important for their married life, there are some that haven’t had sex in a while and have shared reasons why.

Here are the responses from different couples.

Media student Leticia Hosang and cameraman Jack Smith, both 20, live in Ealing, West London and have been together for two years. The couple haven’t had sex for the past six months.

According to Leticia, “work is creating such a barrier in our relationship, which is why we haven’t had sex for so long and I’m worried it will become a year.

“We still love each other and have a strong relationship but our working patterns mean we don’t even have time to cuddle, never mind have sex.

“I go to bed on my own every night, as Jack is working on night shoots, and he regularly works 14 or 15-hour days.

“Our only day off together is Sunday and frankly we are too tired to do anything but watch TV or maybe go for a walk.

“It’s frustrating because we still fancy each other. When we first got together we used to make love twice a day.

“I feel less attractive as a woman now, and when we are together we argue about the littlest things.

“I hope the situation changes soon because we can’t live as a couple like this for much longer”

The husband Jack said “I find Leticia very attractive and she knows that – but we are just not physically together enough to have sex.

“We are both working such long hours that when I go to bed the only thing on my mind is getting enough sleep so I have the energy for the next day.

“It is very depressing and we are both feeling the pressure.

“Sex definitely binds a relationship. I know ours will be stronger once we get our love life back on track.”

Response 2

Web entrepreneur Michelle Inch, 28, of Barry, South Wales, has not had sex with husband Sean Wilkin, 32, a painter and decorator, for nearly 18 months. They have been together for 12 years and have children Brooke, eight, Lili-Mae, 18 months, and Finley, six months.

Michelle says “ We haven’t had sex since before Finley was born. Throughout my pregnancy I had a condition called symphysis pubis dysfunction, or SPD, which is pelvic girdle pain, and it hurt so much that I couldn’t walk, let alone have sex.

Also, our two-bedroom house is so small and the baby sleeps in a Moses basket in our super-kingsize bed between us.

On top of all this, we both run our own businesses and work such long hours.

The longer you don’t have sex, the harder it is to get the buzz back, and there is no doubt it is harming our relationship. We are now having counselling.

It feels less like a relationship, more a business arrangement to look after the kids. I feel the fun has gone out of our relationship.

It’s all work and childcare and I want my life back.

There’s always an excuse for why we can’t have sex and we have to do something about it or we will live to regret it. Often, you take sex for granted in a relationship but when it isn’t there, problems follow.

Louise says We don’t have sex and we’re very happy – this study is nonsense. Obviously, everyone is different and I know sex is a big part of most people’s lives and I wish it was a bigger part of ours.

The problems started on our wedding night. I’d been up really early and felt really tired and didn’t want sex that night but I went through with it.

I didn’t feel like a sexy young bride and had recently given birth, which made me feel fat. Since then the problems have not gone away. I start feeling self-conscious about my naked body.

Stuart tells me he loves my figure and I believe him. We have had sex occasionally since we got married but I have to force myself.

We have not had proper sex, where I feel comfortable, since before our wedding. Our relationship is perfect in every way except this. We have two beautiful children and really love each other.

I have even seen my GP, who has recommended counselling.

Meanwhile, I now go to the gym and hope if I can lose some weight and feel better about myself, we might find our spark again. But there are lots of things that make us happy as a couple – we don’t need to have sex to stay happy.

Stuart says “After we got married, our sex life went downhill quickly. It can be a strain at times, but we try to get on with it.

“Louise isn’t comfortable with me trying to get her in the mood so I’ve learned not to bother. It seems daft to me, as I think she has a fantastic figure.”

Do you think you can run your marriage like theirs?
