1.5% of the population, according to Kinsey. A bit less, according to newer research, but still not an insignificant number.

The era of free love is rather recent, and quite localized. Until not that long ago, and still today in many countries, people who are single or widows - particularly women - often live without sex for many years.

I thought it was more. I suspect a lot of married couples don't have sexual relationships anymore. I also see a lot of single persons that have a hard time (or don't even try) to find someone and so on...

Oh, I think these were just people who were sexless by choice (so, OK with it); there's probably many more who want to have sex but don't.
