More than half of couples DON'T have sex on their wedding night - mostly because the groom is too drunk | Mail Online

It is supposed to be the happiest day of their lives, but for most couples it does not have the perfect ending.
For the majority fail to consummate their marriage on their wedding night, a survey shows. And the most frequent reason is that the groom was too drunk to make love.
The bride falling asleep and arguments during the reception were also blamed for couples not having sex on their first night as man and wife

More than half – 52 per cent – admitted to not making love on their wedding night and 17 per cent waited for more than three days after the ceremony.

Of those who did not consummate their marriage on their wedding night, 24 per cent said it was because the groom was too drunk.

For 16 per cent it was because the bride was too tired and fell asleep and for 13 per cent it was because the bride was too drunk.

In 4 per cent of cases it was the groom who fell asleep.
Eleven per cent said it was because they had their children to look after, and 9 per cent admitted that they had had an argument before the wedding reception ended.

In another 9 per cent of cases, the couples spent their wedding night travelling to their honeymoon destination, while 7 per cent stayed up all night partying with guests

I would think the fact that the deed has already been done prior to the wedding has alot to do with it as well.

I stopped drinking and we had a simple wedding with not too much fuss.
We were both sober and had loads of energy.

However, a gentleman never tells.

How could you marry someone when you do not even know if you are sexually comparable. Sex is an important part of a relationship.

Not necessarily. My wife and I have a much better sexual relationship than when we were married.

I always thought that before a couple gets married they need to have wild passionate sex and a nasty assed fight

We had neither sex or a big fight before our marriage, we were part of the 48% on the honeymoon night, we've been married over 30 years. I won't divorce her, I don't want to see her happy.

 

[Mr. H.]

My brother always suspected that I was incompatible with my ex.
He once asked "geez do you two ever have sex"?

"We've got 3 kids... do the math".

There's no particular reason for over half of couples to have sex on their wedding night. It's not a night of particular importance. It's not like the groom is taking his bride's virginity. Over half of couples have been living together for awhile anyway. They either go home, to the home and bed they have already been sharing, or they go on a honeymoon, which is just another vacation like the vacations they have taken in the past.

You just nailed it Katz.

Which wife was this? 1,2,3, or 4?

The poll was from England.

The fact that drunkenness was the reason was an immediate tip off.

The incidence of sobriety in the UK is a fraction of what it is in the USA.....

I would suspect the numbers in the US would not be much different

Weddings have become too big a production. By the time the couple finally gets to bed, sex is no big incentive

The incidence of cohabitation without marriage is just as high as here, if not higher. Wedding nights just aren't important. There's no compelling reason for couples to have sex on their wedding night. Once they go home and get in their jammies, it's just another night like all the other nights. They just had a big party, they drank too much, so what, it's not any different than all the other parties they went to. How many of these couples who just got married already have a couple of children? The wedding night is supposed to be important? Really! Seriously! They are more likely to argue over who will feed the baby.

This is one of those articles where I have to say "So what?"

Certainly not if the couple has been living together for a number of years already.

You are 100% right, so why even get married? their already playing the role right?

They really should see one another with a cold, too.
