Follow along by reading the original article:

* Title: 68.2% of Married Couples in Japan Don't Have Sex!

* Sub-Title: Japan is experiencing a rise in alternative family structures, including single mothers who choose not to marry and couples opting for sexless marriages by choice.

Confirming similar survey results, a recent large-scale study of about 4,000 couples confirmed that just over 2/3 of Japanese marriages are sexless.
