"Some may think that sexlessness is acceptable if both parties are happy with it. I counter by asking whether they're really happy. Love involves touching and it seems fairly natural to me that two people who long to be together would also want to feel each other.

In an online survey of 500 couples that a newspaper carried out back in 2001, 28 percent said they were sexless.

Here are the main reasons men gave for lacking a sex life:

* Sex is a nuisance (20.5 percent)

* Sex life withered away with childbirth (15.7 percent)

* Too tired from work (15.7 percent)

* Hobbies are more enjoyable (9.6 percent)

* No bedroom where privacy can be guaranteed (8.7 percent)

Sexless women, meanwhile, had the following reasons:

* Sex is a nuisance (17.2 percent)

* Hobbies are more enjoyable (16.4 percent)

* Sex life withered away with childbirth (11.9 percent)

* Regard partner as a relative rather than a lover (9.7 percent)

* Frustration at partner's lack of consideration during sex (7.5 percent).

It's a real shame that the main reason for lacking a sex life for both men and women was that sex is a nuisance.

I'm not going to say that sex is the most enjoyable thing you can do in life, but I'd REALLY like to find out what hobbies couples are engaging in that are more enjoyable than sex.

It's flabbergasting that some marriages have reached the state where so many women feel their partner is more like a relative than a lover."
