Let's speak hypothetically, if you were in a relationship or marriage, incredibly close or otherwise.. Could you live without sex? If by someway your partner didn't desire it or lived with a condition which meant intercourse was sparse or almost never?

I know people say it gets incredibly difficult when marriage arises, anyway but just a general question. We'd all say yes to standing by our loved ones no matter what but when it comes down to things, it must be very difficult living without that level of affection, intimacy and a huge dent on self esteem and confidence in yourself must be pretty overwhelming....

Just curious

in a relationship with no sex? what positives does that even leave?

Funnily enough its the same thing im asking myself...sure kissing and cuddling is all good but as far as im concerned for the majority of men, they would need full sexual intercourse...

My personal opinion is that if your with someone either married of living together and your not having sex etc then whats the point??...better off being friends as you can still love each other without and physical part of it if you ask me personally.

Ok but what if the relationship is great as it is....you honestly think that a relationship without sex is going to make it any better??...unless your in an open relationship ie both of you are having sex outside the relationship but thats another can of worms there.

I wasn't saying that I've lost my mind, I was talking about the fact that I'm still not fully over the last girl so I do not attempt to make opportunities and do not chase ones that do open up.

It is a STUPID frame of mind to be in, and has never happened to me before with respect to a girl.

I'm nowhere near over my ex but there's no point being depressed and horny.

There's loads!

But only if you're the woman.

No, whats the point? Relationship is about having great sex first, everything else comes second

Just curious

the fact you called it intercourse suggests you're not getting any...or you're never had any

I'd have to get some sort of arrangement that I can do the dirty with some random every other weekend.

I'd like to say I could just be like ok lets not shag but we're human and we like to stick it in things really.

This is why some of us have tried to clarify what he means. Sex is more than just intercourse - does he specifically mean intercourse, or all sexual activity?

Hell no.

So some of you would actually cheat on your partner even if they had a medical condition which denied them sexual intercourse?

How you can say you love them is beyond me.

My sentiments exactly my relationship is more than just sex, she is my soul mate

I think this thread is quite sad

Yes, there is far more to relationships then just sex.

I said this and was shot down over it

Sad that so many people's relationships are built around sex, while it's important in a relationship, I think there is far more to a relationship.

If you're with as tank put it, your soul mate, and something prevented her from having sexy time with you, would you go looking elsewhere or leave her?

I would stay with her, be 100% faithful in everyway to her.

If you love them, you do whatever you can do make it easier for them.

Actually quite like Gordy's attitude. Don't really understand the hate towards it

Because he comes across like he uses woman and then throws them away
