In
Singapore, you don't need a Prince Charming, kids or a lot of money for
your marriage to last. Three women reveal what works for them,
including one who said that sex doesn't play a big role in her marriage.
"Our marriage is great despite the fact that sex isn't really a priority," says Lisa, 32, a brand manager, who's been married to Ben, 35, a lawyer, for seven years.
In the interview with Simply Her, she said:
"Magazines
often tell you that a couple needs to have sex often for their marriage
to be healthy, which isn't true in reality. My opinion of how much sex
a married couple's life should have has changed since I got married
seven years ago. A couple can lead a very happy and fulfilling married
life without much sex.
"We only have sex once every two to three
months because we don’t have time. We have talked about our lack of sex
and tried to do it more, but it’s just not very important to us.
“I
think couples need to realise that they can’t have it all. It’s in our
culture to work long hours, so although you have less time together, it
makes you better appreciate the time that you have together.
"For
us, sex is just another activity; it’s not a priority. We have more of
a spiritual connection, rather than a physical one. We would rather go
out for a late movie or take a dip in the pool when we have time. Doing
things together as a couple is good enough.”

Singaporean too stress over career, pleasing employer, staying employeable, keeping up with costs of living, reservist's duty etc to think about sex.

just not with each other, lah
Stomper fail
It's normal if they are sick of seeing and enjoying each other's bodies all the time.
But I believe they will have more frequent sex life if they are willing to have sex with different partners.
Like that's why married people still go looking for ONS, same reason ...
No wonder singapore birth rate is falling
Having sex is irrational.
Another case of capitalism overriding biological need to procreate.
