Rise of the sexless marriage as social media brings outside world into privacy of the bedroom
Sexless marriages are on the increase due to the “diversion” created by social media, according to a major new study.
British men and women are having significantly less intercourse than in 2001, the data suggests, with young and early-middle-aged married and cohabiting couples driving the negative trend.
Fewer than half of people aged between 16 and 44 are having sex at least once a week, according to figures from the latest British National Survey of Sexual Attitudes and Lifestyles (Natsals).
The decrease was most pronounced among 35 to 44-year-olds, among whom women reported having sex four times a month in 2001 but twice in 2012, with men reporting a decrease of four to three times a month over the same period.
But the researchers single out the introduction of the iPhone in 2007 as an important contributing factor.
“Life in the digital age is considerably more complex than in previous eras, the boundary between the private space of home and the public world outside is blurred, and the internet offers considerable scope for diversion,” they write.
Overall, the proportion reporting no sex in the past month fell between the first and second surveys, from 28.5 per cent to 23 per cent in women and from 30.9 per cent to 26 per cent in men, but increased significantly in the final 2012 survey to 29.3 per cent in women and 29.2 per cent in men.
