Sexual Relationships 
Sexual Health Let's say your partner is completely loyal, treats you wonderfully, is fully romantic except when it comes to sex. You even have permission to find sex anywhere else you want it, just not with your partner. Could you do it?
Inspired by a series of messages I just had in DM.
Could you have a loving relationship with a good person that included everything except sex?

I agree.
Yes but it wouldn’t be a romantic relationship
though I would be willing to wait till marriage if they wanted to
Even if she was bratty
And didn't even masturbate
I would still love her
*lip bite*
I have done this. I was in a relationship with somebody that wanted to wait until marriage This lasted 4 years. I am not sure that I would do it again
Yeah, but I am going to fuck someone else to get me sexual needs. Just speaking the truth. Like it or not.
That totally would be an option on the table
Sure!
yes. that is called a friendship
Iunno, I dont kiss and cuddle with my friends
I kiss and cuddle my friends and brothers, nothing sexual obvs
I have cuddled with my brothers but I dont kiss them. Besides if I'm in a dating/non sexual relationship with a person it wouldn't be a family member kind of kiss they'd be getting from me anyway
if there isn't sex it isn't a partner, just a friend.
This is almost exactly how my current relationship is, except she does indulge me with sex when she's able. My drive just happens to be a lot more than what she can take.
At my age companionship is the most important thing.
If sex was the only way to show love I see problems. Good news! There're other ways to show love and affection so I won't seek sex anywhere else. There's always masturbation and people still break up even if the sex is good🙂
I would love to. I would want to. But I don't think I would be able to.
See, I think sex is a natural part of love in a romantic relationship. It would be missing so much if there was never any sex. That would just be sad.
Also, my body was biologically designed to have sex. So even if I were to hypothetically philosophically persuade myself to give up sex and be asexual,... I still wouldn't be asexual. Because that is what I am, and what I was created to be. I am a sexual person. That is just how it is. I can't change that.
So, as much as I respect and admire people who are asexual, I want to be with a woman who likes sex and wants to have sex.
But obviously I am okay with abstaining from sex until marriage. I am perfectly okay with that. I don't mind waiting. Patience is a virtue anyway.
If both people are physically able, there's not really any excuses to not try
I don't know if I'd call that a loving relationship. Sounds more like a friendship.
Its basically all parts of a relationship except sex
Yeah, it wouldn't be a boyfriend/girlfriend relationship. To me that's a girlfriend's number one responsibility.
That sounds like a best friend and not a partner, probably how married couples are in their 70s too. But that wouldn’t work for me in the beginning
I already have friends, I don't need a friend that is a cock tease.
like a LDR?
Any kind. LDR or even same city.
there is absolutely no way I could. daddy needs the V on a regular basis. 😋
No, I think that would be too strange. Sex is a good , healthy part of it. I would want him to be open to it
But if he insists i might. Still prefer not to though
Definitely fair. In my case, I just have a lot of different anxieties which prevent me from feeling comfortable with certain aspects of sex. I can do most things to other girls, np. I usually am fine with my breasts being touched, but im not ok with anything below the belt or penetration of any kind happening to me which pretty much eliminated anything but hand jobs for guys. I still want relationships though and me being poly allows my partner to go find sex. I dont want to be this way, but unfortunately I am.
Oh. Is it because of trauma maybe?
A good majority of it, yeah. The rest is just good old fashioned self hate of how I look.
Aw. Sorry to hear that 🙁
Well I think sex is an important part of a relationship though it's not the most important thing. Sex elsewhere would not be an option.
