Could you date a person with a low sex drive?

Question

I couldn't lol

It certainly wouldn't be ideal, no.

I have a high sex drive, but obviously everyone is different, so I wouldn't naturally expect her to be ready every time I am.

I would hope that we'd still have sex at least semi-regularly, as no sex at all would be a big problem. Not just because of physical desire, but I view sex as an expression of affection, and not having that level of intimacy would be disheartening.

She would have to be understanding if I masturbate when she's not in the mood, too. I wouldn't pester her, but I'd still need some solo time, in place of her.

Not for very long. I divorced in my mid-thirties and started dating again. Most women were ready after the third date -- I never had to ask. If a woman wasn't showing interest after several weeks I would be wondering.

I could but it's not my favorite arrangement. I've been in that kind of relationship and it's difficult when you don't connect on that level.

I've been on the other end of that dynamic also, and that is tough as I felt like I might be letting my partner down. Best to find someone that matches your drive.

Depends on what else they bring to the table. Sex isn’t the most important thing to me but I would expect my partner to compromise and at least make those few sex encounters very special to make up for the lack of it

I can date an asexual woman as long as she put out, otherwise an sexless relationship is fairly pointless, dating asexual man is harder, as men expected to be active.

Of course. I could also date someone who don't want sex. Because sex don't make love.

Noooooooooooooo

Hardworkingguy · Answer

I really don't think so because when you go out with someone they're trying to get to know her or him in every aspect including intimacy

MaSult · Answer

Sounds selfish but I couldn't. I often need sex and still masturbate often, sex is important to me 😅

Anonymous · Answer

Yes since I would go down on her and raised it to big

Yes, sex is not important to me. I am contented with a good conversation, holding hands, hugs, someone who makes me laugh, etc. I can always masturbate 🙂
