It’s difficult to say exactly how many of Singapore’s married couples are too exhausted, cranky, overworked, resentful, stressed or depressed to get it on, but experts estimate that 15-20 per cent of couples have sex fewer than 10 times a year, which is how they define a sexless marriage.
The traditional tendency is to blame the woman, but sex therapists say the age-old story of the sexually indifferent wife with a permanent headache and the libidinous male who is always up for it is a myth.
