The Sun UK carried out a recent survey of 2016 newly
weds, and while most argue that sex is very important for their married
life, there are some that haven't had sex in a while and have
shared reasons why. More stories of some of these couples after the cut.
MEDIA
student Leticia Hosang and cameraman Jack Smith, both 20, live in
Ealing, West London and have been together for two years. The couple
haven’t had sex for the past six months.
LETICIA
SAYS: Work is creating such a barrier in our relationship, which is why
we haven’t had sex for so long and I’m worried it will become a year.
We
still love each other and have a strong relationship but our working
patterns mean we don’t even have time to cuddle, never mind have sex.
I go to bed on my own every night, as Jack is working on night shoots, and he regularly works 14 or 15-hour days.
Our only day off together is Sunday and frankly we are too tired to do anything but watch TV or maybe go for a walk.
It’s frustrating because we still fancy each other. When we first got together we used to make love twice a day.
I feel less attractive as a woman now, and when we are together we argue about the littlest things.
I hope the situation changes soon because we can’t live as a couple like this for much longer.
JACK SAYS: “I find Leticia very attractive and she knows that – but we are just not physically together enough to have sex.
“We
are both working such long hours that when I go to bed the only thing
on my mind is getting enough sleep so I have the energy for the next
day.
“It is very depressing and we are both feeling the pressure.
“Sex definitely binds a relationship. I know ours will be stronger once we get our love life back on track.”
WEB
entrepreneur Michelle Inch, 28, of Barry, South Wales, has not had sex
with husband Sean Wilkin, 32, a painter and decorator, for nearly 18
months. They have been together for 12 years and have children Brooke,
eight, Lili-Mae, 18 months, and Finley, six months.
MICHELLE
SAYS: We haven’t had sex since before Finley was born. Throughout my
pregnancy I had a condition called symphysis pubis dysfunction, or SPD,
which is pelvic girdle pain, and it hurt so much that I couldn’t walk,
let alone have sex.
Also, our two-bedroom house is so small and the baby sleeps in a Moses basket in our super-kingsize bed between us.
On top of all this, we both run our own businesses and work such long hours.
The
longer you don’t have sex, the harder it is to get the buzz back, and
there is no doubt it is harming our relationship. We are now having
counselling.
It feels less like a relationship,
more a business arrangement to look after the kids. I feel the fun has
gone out of our relationship.
It’s all work and childcare and I want my life back.
There’s
always an excuse for why we can’t have sex and we have to do something
about it or we will live to regret it. Often, you take sex for granted
in a relationship but when it isn’t there, problems follow.
