Introduction: Despite recent media coverage in the topic of sexless marriage in East Asia, population-based studies examining the absence of sexual activity among nonelderly married individuals are scant. Previous studies have not simultaneously examined sociodemographic, physiological, and lifestyle predictors of sexless marriages.

Conclusions: Sexless is prevalent among certain subgroups of urban Chinese couples in Hong Kong and the large discrepancy in sexless between married men and women in each age strata suggests a high prevalence of extramarital relationships. Contrary to commonly held beliefs, there was a stronger association between sexlessness and poorer phycological symptoms among females than males. Sexless marriages are an underppreciated phenomenon among urban Chinese individuals.

Este estudo recordou-me a notícia recente sobre a reclamação de existência de «O terceiro sexo» por parte de indivíduos eunucos (se a memória não me falha, isto passava-se na Índia): serão (outra vez) repercussões da
pós-modernidade?
Austeriana, acho que sim, há muito de aproximação das sociedades orientais a valores antes tidos por "ocidentais".O que este estudo confirma é a crise da conjugalidade nas comunidades urbanas pós indistrialização. Um tema pouco analizado até agora, sobretudo na China, mas que, curiosamente, era abordado no filme que cito no post.
Abraço
