Reasons people don't have sex

If you are a couple who is not having sex, you two are more like glorified roomies. But that's the sad reality of the couples today. Data suggests more than 40 million people are in sexless marriages. Let's see what's causing the dry spell...

2/9

EXHAUSTED

When you come back home from a long and exhuasting day at work, sex is the last thing on your mind. In fact, sleeping sounds like the most exciting thing to do.

3/9

SOLUTION

Don't leave sex for night time. It could be the first thing you do in the morning or you could find a time that works for you both.

4/9

STRESS

Stress acts as a big roadblock for couples. It dims your sex drive and makes you cringe when someone tries to touch you.

5/9

SOLUTION

How about a couple's massage to relieve stress. The increased blood flow will deflate your stress balloon, making you feel happy and ready for some action.

6/9

BODY IMAGE

This is more common among women than men. With unrealistic body images everywhere, women have started to feel bad about themselves.

7/9

SOLUTION

You need to understand that sex is real unlike unreal photoshopped images that you see everywhere. The biggest turn on for your partner will be how confident you feel about your body.

8/9

BOREDOM

Bored of the same sex routine? Or is your bed isn't an exciting place anymore? Well, with all this, sex often takes a backseat.

9/9

SOLUTION

Try new moves. Surprise your partner. Send naughty texts during the day. And most importantly, make your bed a zero-technology zone and then schedule sex, like you would your meetings and make it exciting. (Image Courtesy: Shutterstock and Thinkstock)
