Why Most Newlyweds Don’t Have Se*x On Wedding Nights
newlywed couples usually rush to their bridal suite
or hotel room to have some post-nuptial romantic
exercise or sexual congress.
It is usually one night too many for many, mainly
for the romp in the sack (great sex), and the eager
consummation of the marriage that follows that
long and enduring expectation is usually historic
and unique.
According to some religious beliefs, people are not
expected to have sexual intercourse until they are
legally married, hence, the high sexual plans and
expectation built around the wedding night cannot
be over-emphasised.
However, in spite of the high expectation and
readiness of either or both parties, studies have
shown that many end up not having sex on the
wedding night. Perhaps the tradition of wedding
night sex is fading away.
Reasons adduced for this trend include exhaustion,
fatigue, intoxication, physiological stress and
emotional overload. Regardless, weddings are
beautiful and lovely, but they can be exhausting
and tiring.
One of the studies pointed out that the groom
being too drunk to make love, the bride falling
asleep and couples having arguments during the
wedding ceremony, especially at the reception,
were popular reasons why couples don't
consummate their marriage. While another study
emphasised that the refusal or inability of many to
wait until marriage before having sex has reduced
the significance and once-upon-a-time importance
attached to wedding night sex.
In this study, a United Kingdom-based stationeries
company, PaperShaker, surveyed 1,000 newlyweds.
It was found that the biggest reason for the decline
in wedding night sex was that many people don't
wait until marriage to have sex.
In fact, about 16 per cent of the participants
admitted to having more sex since becoming
engaged. While 25 per cent said they did not have
sex on their wedding night. Also, about 60 per cent
said they slept with two or more of their wedding
guests, more so because about 30 per cent said
they invited their ex-lovers to their wedding. Men
were more guilty of this.
It could be deduced that majority of couples
getting married have already been around the
block in the bedroom together, so the rush to
finally do it on their wedding night isn't nearly as
intense or necessary.
Commenting on the study, a relationship expert,
April Masini, said sex on the wedding night used to
symbolise the end of virginity that was guarded
until marriage unlike now that it has become more
fashionable to have sex before marriage. "Because
sex before marriage is now the norm, the tradition
has lost its meaning, so sex on the wedding night
might not have the significance that it used to," she
said.
In another survey by a money-saving website,
VoucherCodesPro, which involved 2,128
newlyweds, it was found that more than 52 per
cent of the participants didn't have sex on their
wedding night.
There were many reasons given for this unfulfilled
expectation. These include the bride or the groom
getting drunk, the bride or the groom being too
tired and falling asleep, couples having argument
during wedding reception, travelling to their
honeymoon destination and looking after or being
distracted by their children, for those who already
had children before marriage.
Sorry, no sex tonight!Other reasons given by the
participants include staying up all night partying
and celebrating with guests and that neither of
them felt like having sex, for whatever reason.
