Here is an interesting article. www.who.int/csr/don/10-january-2019-ebola-drc/en/So if I'm reading this this right, in the recent ebola outbreak in the Congo approximately 61 percent of those infected died giving a 39 percent survival rate. If I recall numbers from our resident statistician, baza correctly, the turnaround percentage of members on this forum is something like .2 percent. Baz, please correct me if I got that wrong. So, if you jump on a plane to the Congo, find a person with Ebola, snuggle up tight with said victim to contract the disease, you are 195 times more likely to survive than to pull off a turnaround of any given SM (39/.2). As a bonus, you even got some human touch out of the deal! It's really sad when you have hands-down better odds of surviving fucking a plague victim in Sub-Saharan Africa than getting the person who married you to fuck you on a semi regular basis.

Yes, that is very eye-opening. I once read an article by a marriage therapist who said that if a couple is sexually incompatible, the odds of the marriage working are extremely low. If you think about it, it makes perfect sense. A marriage is a romantic relationship. If there is no sex, what is the reason to be married?

Well, that’s a really depressing statistic!

For the most part, the marriages represented in here are very much the arse end of the dysfunctional marriage spectrum. The basket cases, where things have deteriorated to the extent where even something a simple and basic as marital sex has departed the scene, and assorted other issues are in play too.
Unsurprisingly, when things have degenerated into such a state, the instances of "turn around" are as rare as rocking horse shit. The resolution to an ILIASM type deal is highly - that's highly - unlikely to be by "turn around"
You can - theoretically - put a line through the possibility of your ILIASM deal being resolved by "turn around". But in practical terms just about everyone is initially going to theorise that "their ILIASM deal is different and unique and is going to be the one that will turn around" And there are very few "different and/or unique" stories in here. They all tell a broadly similar tale though the peripheral detail might alter a bit.

If you think about it, it makes perfect sense. A marriage is a romantic relationship. If there is no sex, what is the reason to be married? There are lots of reasons, actually. Stable environment for kids. Financial security. Tax breaks. Family support networks. These are all "bricks" in a structure. Sex is the mortar that binds them all together. Pile enough bricks without mortar, though and all you have is a pile of broken rubble.

Well, that’s a really depressing statistic! Depending on the stats you use, the odds would have been twice as dismal using the black death instead of ebola.

On the plus side, you're way more likely to turn around a SM than to be hit by debris from a plane falling out of the sky 1:10,000,000
