Can Relationships Survive Without Sex?
Tell me your truth.
Fifteen percent.
That’s the number of couples who haven’t had sex in the past four weeks. It’s not exactly dinner-table talk, is it?
But it should be.
Because while we all pretend sex is just a “bonus” in relationships, millions are stuck in a sexual limbo where desire has died — and nobody dares to talk about it.
I won’t dance around with that soft talk about “love being more important than sex.”
Sure, love matters — but when was the last time you felt truly alive in a relationship where there’s no spark, no sexual tension that makes you want to rip your partner’s clothes off?
When did you last look at someone and think, “I want you so badly it hurts”?
The naked truth is: most sexless relationships don’t work. Do you know why? Because only 2.3% of couples who don’t have sex are actually satisfied with the situation. The other 97.7% are living a lie, pretending everything’s fine when part of them is dying inside.
Are you really trying to save the relationship, or are you just too afraid to admit it’s over?
