But now there's been a backlash from women who insist that there's nothing wrong with not wanting to have sex - and that it's possible to enjoy a perfectly happy relationship without it.

但是現(xiàn)在女人們似乎在強(qiáng)烈反對(duì)這一觀點(diǎn)，她們堅(jiān)稱不想有性行為并沒有錯(cuò)--而在無性的情況下，也可以享受和伴侶完美的關(guān)系。

The debate was ignited on Mumsnet after one poster revealed how she disagrees with the assumption that everyone wants sex, and she was by no means the only one.

這場(chǎng)爭(zhēng)論始于Mumsnet（英國(guó)育兒交流社區(qū)）上一篇帖子，一名女子在發(fā)文表示，她不同意“所有人都想要有性生活”這一假設(shè)，并表示她絕不是唯一這么想的人。
