• In his landmark work, Alfred Kinsey found that up to 19 percent of adults do not engage in sex.
• Married males don’t go without sex for a long duration.
• Women more commonly avoid sex than men. In fact, up to 40 percent of women avoid sex some time in their lives. Pain during sex and low libido are big issues.
• More teenage females than teenage males abstain from sex.
• Women also are more likely to avoid sex because of childhood sexual abuse.
