I DON’T see the point in having sex. My partner and I have both decided that we don’t want children.

He is a lot older than me and has teenage twins from a previous marriage.

I’m happy with a peck on the cheek before kicking him out and into the spare room (because he snores). But he keeps saying that unless we have regular sex, he may take a mistress.

Surely the whole point of intercourse is to create babies? If we don’t want babies, then we don’t need to make love, right? JANE SAYS: Sex isn’t only about procreation; it’s about connecting with and cherishing our partner.

Plus, there are all sorts of physical and emotional rewards too.

If you want to lose weight then sex is great for that, because it keeps us fit and agile.

It releases feelgood endorphins and helps to lower blood pressure too.

Endorphins can boost mood and energy and sex can reduce stress.

There is also evidence that regular physical contact gives the immune system a boost and, therefore, makes us more healthy and resistant to germs.

So rather than kicking your man into the spare room, think about how much happier and healthier you’d feel after making love.

If his snoring is a problem, then he needs to speak to his GP about possible treatment.

As for his mistress idea, hopefully that’s a joke. But if it isn’t, you either need to fight for this relationship or think again about the viability of this union.
