According to a from the ½ûÂþÌìÌà Matrimonial Lawyers Association (AMI), sexual apathy leads to 20% of ½ûÂþÌìÌà divorces.
Lack of bedroom activity at home doesn’t mean that there has been an overall decrease in sexual appetite. Married ½ûÂþÌìÌÃs are increasingly looking outside of their union to satisfy desire. In 70% of cases, it is the husband who seeks partners outside of the home, but cheating among wives is also on the rise.
These so called ‘white-marriages’, which are characterized by a complete lack of sexual activity, are particularly common among new unions, rather than seasoned couples.
Italy’s bedroom woes don’t end there. A by the ½ûÂþÌìÌà Society of Andrology and Sexual Medicine (SIAMS) has identified an affliction they have termed ‘sexual anorexia’.
Sexual anorexia is a problem for young ½ûÂþÌìÌà men, who are unable to become aroused due to desensitization from ‘excessive porn use’ in their teens.
Of Italy’s 7.8 million Internet users, 28.9% frequent adult sites. Italy faired better than other European web users, coming in 4th in overall porn consumption- behind Germany (34.5%), France (33.6%) and Spain (32.4%).
Not to fear, researchers from SIAMS insist that sexual anorexia is a reversible condition. Proper assistance can help ½ûÂþÌìÌà men refocus their sexuality on real-life relationships rather than online images.
