If you had to chose one, would you rather only be able to have no strings attached sex or a sexless relationship?

Question

NathanDavis · Accepted Answer

both suck... but just to play along with the rules

I would go with the asexual relationship

I already know that all of the other great things in a relationship can actually be fulfilling for me, but the whole thing of sex without feelings, that, so far... has not been of my interest before...

both options would end up bothering me eventually, but at least I know that one would also give me many positive things that I would want

while the other would just be urges and not much more than that, lol

Interesting question. I'll go with the sexless relationship because there are other ways to show intimacy. I can always masturbate.

Aerissa_Jade · Answer

Sex is a requirement for me, so that really only leaves that option.

God_of_Thunder · Answer

If those were my choices, then I'd rather remain single, and just use my hand.

I know, you said if I "had" to choose, but honestly, that's not a choice. Neither option is fulfilling, so I couldn't, and wouldn't, be able choose between them.

I don't enjoy meaningless sex, because I see sex as a form of expressing my feelings for my partner. Without feelings, it's just empty, and unsatisfying. Likewise, not being able to express my feelings for my partner through intimacy would be frustrating.

Without intimacy, it's not a relationship; it's just friendship, and that's not nearly as special, or as satisfying, as a relationship.

I would love a relationship at this moment in time, if I could find the right woman. But if sex wasn’t included, so be it. There are other forms of intimacy, other than sexual.

MCheetah · Answer

I would rather have a sexless relationship because sex is overrated and cheap, but genuine love and affection is priceless.

Of course, I have the best of both worlds; no relationship and no sex! I know you're all jealous!

StrongMale · Answer

Interesting question. I can honestly say, without a doubt, there’s no way I could be in a relationship without sex  by choice . So, if I were given only these two options, I would definitely choose sex without a relationship. But if I were in love with a woman and had been with her many years, and had a sexual, loving relationship with her, and for some reason she became unable to have sex anymore, I would, of course, stay the course and be faithful to her. I am not a monster!

7Phoenix7 · Answer

I'm not choosing either one... nope... Both options are unacceptable lol...

Subaru... while I love relationships I need a lot of sex so I have to answer "A"

Apple1996 · Answer

No strings attached cuz I'd be able to still get pregnant and have babies. Completely sexless I wouldn't be able to have any babies 😥

Berethor · Answer

I might need more info on the no strings attached sex, what it would include, and would it be friends with benefits of just a one night stand? friends with benefits beat a sexless relationship hands down. Choosing between "only" sex and pointless "relationship", I'm a man; I can't help it trope.

Sign me up for a BOOM BOOB BUDDY rather than having a NO BOOM BOOM RELATIONSHIP.

SnowedIn · Answer

Of those two choices, the relationship with no sex. It's huge. It's important. It's necessary. But it's also a part of the relationship. Take it away and the relationship still works. (I don't want the no sex part of life, but, well for the sake of the question.)

EmbraceThePain · Answer

When you say "sexless" what is included in that? Just PIV?

ShadezMcgee · Answer

No strings attached. I want intimacy with a consistent partner/SO. That's part of being in a relationship. If you are in a sexless relationship, there are more than likely bigger issues at hand within the relationship itself.

Why settle to be in a miserable and sexless relationship when you can have a consistent friends with benefits?

Summeroflove · Answer

A relationship with no sex. I would say. I would be willing to hold off until marriage. It’s not as important to me as it is to some. Until after that point.

Do I struggle with lust sometimes? Absolutely. But I have to repent

slatyb · Answer

I would rather have her.

Finchie40 · Answer

No strings attached sex , being on a sexless marriage is a nightmare

Chazmatazz269 · Answer

I guess it depends on how you define “no strings attached”. If i see the same prostitute repeatedly, are there “strings”? Is my affinity for her quality and quantity of service a string? Is the financial agreement a string?
If yes, then i’ll take abstinence, thanks very much. I’m not going to put up with someone’s sh*t without the benefits, and sex isn’t important enough to me to keep having lousy sex with various people who don’t care about my needs or desires. I’m pretty sure both are glaring signs of mental illness.

Sixgunsound · Answer

I’m not really into the meaningless hook up culture. I understand the stereotype is that pretty much all men will bang anything with a pulse as long as it stands still long enough, but as for myself I disagree. And there seems to be some disagreement with the other man responding as well. GAG: shattering stereotypes one question at a time!

mobiusforniner · Answer

Sex no strings. Did the relationship with no sex thing more than once. The latter invests your heart and hurts a whole helluva lot more when it ends.

AviatorTom · Answer

That would depend on where a person is in their life. A young single guy would probably opt for the sex while a slightly older guy would go for the relationship.

At my age, the relationship is more important.

If you had to chose one, would you rather only be able to have no strings attached sex or a sexless relationship?
