Background characteristics of “sexless” marriages,are they increasing in India?

Background characteristics of “sexless” marriages,are they increasing in India?
Specially in the IT sector?

"In 1994 the Japan Society of Sexual Science described a couple as being “sexless” “if, despite the absence of unusual circumstances, there has been no consensual intercourse or other sexual contact between them for a month or longer and it is expected that such a state will further persist over a longer period of time” (Abe 2004: 18). Likewise, we define “sexless” couples here as those who are married or cohabitating and have not had any sexual intercourse with the spouse or partner for more than 1 month. Such “sexless” couples have been reported to be more numerous in Japan than one might think, and the reasons for their sexless status have been hypothesized in various magazines and books"

It is a well know fact that Japan suffers from  an abundance of old people and few young working  people to support them.
their policy of  anti immigration ( some thing that Trump is advocating;-) )

 I am seeing  more and more couples specially among the NRI' having a "long distance marriage" which is essentially a sexless marriage by the above given definition.
