I don't think it's uncommon, but either way, does it matter? I've taken some breaks too. I think it's important to find ways to be happy by yourself from time to time, and to learn to deal with loneliness. Hopefully go back to dating later with a healthier attitude (ie: wait for the right person, instead of just getting with someone because of loneliness).
Here are some articles I found with stats about frequency among adults:

https://vitals.lifehacker.com/here-s-how-much-sex-everybody-...
About 30% of single males have not had sex in six months. It's slightly less for women, btw, 25% iirc. Rates are higher among the educated. Don't ask me how I know that.
Stats are probably similar for those who have been married more than a few years.
according to the figure I saw for married men it's about 10% and married women, oddly, 5%.
Could this be an error in self reporting or that women are more likely to cheat in marriages?
Geez, I’ve been taking a break from women this past year but after reading this it hits kinda hard. According to this I’ve been sexless for a loooong time.
Is not having sex for a month really that uncommon?
