Article on sexless marriage .

[ginorwine]

I recently read an article about a happy sexless marriage . It said something like ‘ our cuddly , happy , sexless marriage ‘.
The couple seemed genuinely happy and loved each other .

Am wondering if others have a similar , rather than any problematic , experience . ?

There are couples like that; it works because neither of them has any interest in sex with anyone, a fairly unusual state of affairs.

We are like this best best friends cuddly and kiss hold hands and always fall asleep wrapped in each other but dont have sex

Was this the article in one of the weekend papers ? Where the wife had hit 50 or so and decided that as she had some gynae type problem this was her signal to rediscover herself as someone who was not interested in sex in what she saw as a positive way? If so it made me feel a bit odd, to begin with as if having a strong interest in sex at 60 made you immature and shallow. I don't really identify with the crone movement at all, and can't really see any benefits in a sexless marriage, so i'll just carry one doing it and enjoying myself , even if this does indicate a delinquent personality. DH was a bit bemused by the article too and thought it was trying a bit hard to turn a negative into a positive.

There is nothing wrong with a sexless marriage as long as it what both parties want. It's the same if both parties want sex twice a day, every day. Having matching sex drives is a key component of a happy marriage and judging by these boards it is one of the hardest things to find!

Yes, I'd agree FinnGermey. In the article the author seemed to have decided mid DTD that it wasn't really doing it for her anymore and given up, without any consultation with her partner. I hope he is happy with her decision.
