Can a marital relationship survive and thrive without sex? Lenny 44, affirms his love for Linda, his wife of 14 years. They have both created a healthy relationship founded on friendship, he says.

“My wife Linda is the apple of my eye, she means the world to me. Although I love her deeply we are not able to enjoy a fulfilling sexual relationship. We have created a wonderful life together and I would not give it up for anything. I tried engaging in sex so many times, failed miserably, injuring my fragile ego and gave up on it. Finally we both agreed its best we quit trying and enjoy a sexless marriage. My wife is accommodating, loving and caring. I do worry sometimes, and wonder whether we could have done something to enhance this union.”
