ABOUT a third of Chinese middle-aged couples are unhappy with their relationships and nearly 40 percent of them don't enjoy a satisfactory sex life, according to a newly released survey.
Jointly conducted by the China Population Communication Center and the Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences, the survey studied the relationship of couples between the age of 35 and 55.
Over 3,600 correspondents took part in the online poll.
The survey found that over 25 percent of husbands and 54 percent of wives were unsatisfied with their sex lives.
Trust and loyalty, a good sex life and wealth topped the list of things couples said were essential for a good marriage.
Over 80 percent of correspondents said sexual satisfaction could have a significant effect on the happiness of their marriage. About 33 percent said erectile dysfunction was a major problem.
"Though most couples think sex is very important to their marriage, few of them go to doctors or psychological consultants," said Lei Kaichun from the Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences.
"Only 17 percent of couples would seek out professional direction and treatment from doctors, while over 70 percent of couples frustrated by erectile dysfunction wouldn't take any action to solve it."
