The British have always given people a conservative and stereotyped impression, but the latest British Social Attitude Survey Report states that in the past 20 years, there have been significant changes in marriage concepts and gender emotions among the British people. As a renowned local sexologist, Andrew Marshall has helped countless people solve sexual confusion and advocated for people to enjoy sex and marriage during his 25 years of employment. Recently, the reporter had a conversation with this master.
In China, some couples are having less and less sex due to busy lifestyles, high stress, or separation. What is the situation in the UK?
Andrew Marshall: British couples are not as passionate about sex as before. A report published by the consulting firm 'Relationships' shows that the number of British men who are physically healthy and have no sexual dysfunction, but have lost interest in sex and come to seek help has increased by 40% compared to the past five years. These people admit that having sex is okay, but they just don't want to. This is closely related to the financial downturn, high work pressure, and the lack of feeling after getting married for a long time. It is generally believed that if there is no physiological disease or accident between husband and wife, and there is no tacit sexual life for more than a month, it is sexless marriage.
What harm will sexless marriage bring? How should we respond?
The huge damage caused by sexless marriage
Andrew Marshall: Lack of sexual activity can first cause harm to both parties' relationships. If one partner desires intimacy and the other refuses, it can easily lead to psychological frustration for the other, leading to communication difficulties, deception, extramarital affairs, or divorce. Secondly, it can also have a certain impact on physical health, as long-term lack of sexual activity may lead to premature organ failure and hormonal instability. Finally, sexless marriage will seriously threaten the stability of the family and society. It can be said that having no sex is a silent harm to life.
The most important thing to save sexless marriage is the individual. The decrease in sexual activity between the sexes is mostly due to the cold winter of relationships, and perhaps a sincere hug can solve the problem. We also need to communicate and express our willingness to improve, try to take some time to let go of all things and stress, relax, and jointly create a romantic atmosphere. The UK National Health website also advocates for people to pay more attention to the various benefits of sex and increase their enthusiasm for sex.
