Sexless Marriage is a glaring reality in India, a reality that is rarely talked about openly. At Bonobology we have articles and confession stories where people talk about their dead bedroom. Wives talk about how they remained virgins even after two years of marriage and men talk about how they started looking for sexual gratification outside the marriage because they were so fed up with their unresponsive wives in bed.

Dead bedrooms happen when there is a complete lack of communication of sexual needs between a couple. Sometimes men have issues with erection, sometimes women have issues like frigidity but they rarely go to a doctor or a counsellor to address the problems.

People continue in sexless marriages because they cannot do away with the financial security, sometimes they think about the children and they are brought up with the mindset that sex is just for reproduction it has nothing to do with gratification. So a sexless marriage is justified and it survives.
