Having regular sex. I’m guessing it’s around 25%.

Long married, Over 50, we still enjoy sex twice per week. God forbid my spouse ever stops wanting regular sex, I would stop wanting regular monogamy.

Wife here. 43. Married almost 20 years. Twice per week sounds awesome. We are probably at 3x per month. Better than some but not enough for me. He seems to enjoy it when we do it.

same here - and i'm the wife. and no my husband isn't cheating on me - he has health issues and is on meds that have destroyed his sex drive. it's not my favorite part of our relationship! but i am not planning to leave or cheat.

we're not platonic in the sense of no kissing, no i love yous, all that - we're affectionate and loving. but sexless.

same here.

Platonic marriage here. It's worked out just fine. I adore my spouse, he adores me, everything but the lack of sex is pretty much perfect and has been for 20 years. I'm fine missing out on this one thing.

But so true for many people. Wanting sex and wanting it from spouse are different

I'm in a platonic marriage not by choice. It sucks, but what can I do. Every few weeks she comes up with a different set of things that I'm doing wrong as the reason for us not having sex, and her being tired. Which of course leads to me just doing more and more as around the house.

So is he asexual? I just can’t wrap my mind around being married to someone who doesn’t want me like that.

Newsflash: not everybody thinks the same way you do.
