That's what it was like with my girlfriend and I for the first 6 years. If I could last for that long without having sex, a lifetime is a very achievable goal to reach for me!
I'll admit my mind was in the gutter when I first dated her but she had a high amount of respect and dignity to inform me that strongly bonded relationships are established from intimacy; that genitals aren't required to make a relationship work. I still highly respect her to this day for putting me in my place like that, for I fear that my relationship with her would have came out much differently if she gave in to my temptation of sexual desires and rushed this too quickly. I do agree that intimacy and passion are necessary for a relationship to thrive; having sex only makes it deeper in intimacy but isn't a requirement by any means. There are people out there who can't stand sex in the slightest and that's ok if they don't want it. What really matters here is that the couple want to be together and can build an unbreakable connection through quality time, intimacy, cooperation and empathy! That's what's important here.
In short words, I could definitely have a relationship without sex!
Thank you, this was really reassuring
Happy I can help! I know you mentioned before that your previous traumatic experience makes it difficult for you to engage in sex. Were you hoping to find someone to be in a relationship with that doesn't want sex but still wants to be intimate with you? :)
I was hoping to find out that was at least a possibility. Ideally I'd like to become comfortable with sex, but if that never happens I don't want to force myself to have sex just to be in a relationship
bottom line ill start by sayin im not into monagomy but if i were if most bisexual or straight men who're sexually attracted to women if they're honest in a sexual relationship no matter the type sex is a big deal for men matter of fact men go into the interaction leadin up to the relationship wantin sex it's women who wanna relationship when they're romantically interested in a man
As long as he's waiting for marriage then that would be the more ideal. It wouldn't be any of that before marriage anyway.
Sure. I can get sex elsewhere so that’s not a big issue to me
So it would have to be an open relationship then? Not a monogamous one?
Correct. I make sure everyone knows the score well ahead of time. :/ it’s my preference.
Fair enough

What's Your Opinion? Sign Up Now!Thats all i want for at least the first 6 months
That's understandable. What about long-term? If you knew there would never be sex in that relationship?
Nah, i want kids and sex when married
Fair enough
I have been in sexless relationships unfortunately, they of course didn't start that way but they ended that way. It's about as interesting as a pet rock. This is going to be a hard hell no for me!
friends, sure since thats all that that actually is.
You kiss and cuddle your friends?
no. without sex its only a friendship though.
Being man I can't live without having sex.
Sexual contact is an important part of intimacy to me. So myself and the hypothetical person would not be compatible.
I give her 2 years to be ready.
Tbh cuddles and other wholesome displays of affection are SO MUCH better than sex.
No I would not stay in that relationship. I would not be satisfied I would be very frustrated and I would be very likely to go have sex with somebody else and cheat on them. It wouldn't be fair to her the person I was cheating with her on or to myself
Yes. I would, I prefer kissing anyways
Not have sex until marriage: No problem.
Not have sex at all: No. I am not asexual. And it wouldn't be fair if I am with my partner and still fantasize about other girls.
