Why Men Stop Having Sex: Men, the Phenomenon of Sexless Relationships, and What You Can Do About It – Insights from Unprecedented Research on Male Sexual Psychology

by Bob Berkowitz, Susan Yager-Berkowitz

An estimated twenty million American men and women are in relationships in which the man has stopped being sexually intimate. Is the problem physical, emotional, or psychological—or are these guys simply bored with their partners? To find answers, bestselling author and relationship expert Dr. Bob Berkowitz and his wife, Susan Yager-Berkowitz, began an unprecedented survey of more than four thousand men and women in this situation, gathering data and following up with hundreds of interviews with selected respondents. Why Men Stop Having Sex provides a unique window into the sexless man's mind—so that men and women can understand this important issue and begin to address the problems that have inhibited intimacy, and ultimately solve them.

Just read the first chapter, and you’ve read the entirety of the book. Seriously...somehow these two “authors” took a subject that could be summed up in five pages, and added enough extra words to turn it into a book.

Here’s the spoil: If your relationship lacks sex, it is because you and your spouse no longer communicate. Either divorce, stay unhappily married, or talk and really listen to each other. The End.

An overly long presentation of survey results with a judgmental commentary from the authors.

This book is a page turner! I had no idea so many people suffered from this issue. I am a young, single woman, but I would recommend this book to everyone (single and married). It's great to look at the real reasons people end up in these sexless marriages. (Something I hope to avoid!)
