Is Your Marriage Sexually Compatible?

A recent survey estimates that one in five couple are in a ‘sexless’ marriage, or a marriage consisting in sex less than ten times a year. The problem, researchers feel, is a lack of communication and possible poor choices in marriage partners.

Researchers think that many people overlook a boring sex life when choosing a mate to focus on things like lifestyle compatibility and whether or not they feel their partner will be a good father, mother, wife or husband. The problem with overlooking the sex life is that eventually the lack of passion and desire leads to marital problems and many times, divorce.

The study, which included over 26,000 people from 26 countries, found that the average sexually active American has sex around 85 times a year.

The Sexual Wellbeing Global Survey was conducted by Harris Interactive for Durex.
