Could you live without intercourse?

been over nearly three years for me and the Mrs due to my medical problem., sex for us isn't important, we have each other and the kids, we rarely argue and everything is great.

At times it can be depressing when you read / hear about / see people with nympho partners that are getting it 20+ times a week but I suppose there's more to a relationship (certainly where marriage is concerned) than sex.

But then again, you don't want to end up with a sore knob, do you?

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 :)

No, because if you have no intercourse then there is no whole and healthy relationship. It's 99% the reason why men or women commit adultery. If you don't get it at home, you will eventually go look for it elsewhere. Fact.

No not a fact but an opinion ;).

Definitely not a fact.

Some people just love their partner so much that will go without "it".

Some of the replies here probably explain the rise in divorces in the UK if everything in a relationship is about intercourse.

Lust rather than love.

It may be an opinion but after working on two factories with multi-thousand workers and seeing affairs constantly, I would say it was fact.
Of course, no sex at home doesn't always mean affair but it does play a massive role in a lot of cases.
 
I'm not really too fussed. Me and the missus go through stages where we are the proverbial bunnies for a week or two but then nothing for ages. I'm nit massively fussed to be honest. Been there, done it all and it's damn fun but don't rate the strength of my relationship on sexy times.

However if I was told 'you can't have it' it would probably become an issue like a big button saying 'do not touch' then you just have too :D the fact that it's there and we can any time leaves me not really bothered if we do if that makes sense.

Really happy with our sex life and rate it on quality not quantity :p

Because you can judge the entire world on two factories. :o

I disagree, MORE likely to wander maybe, but it depends entirely on how you ultimately feel about the person you are with.

I find it hard to believe there are couples out there who have no sex and both are happy about it.
Does such a couple exist?
(not taking into account illness and old age etc).

I suspect they do. Some peoples relationships are far deeper and complex than simply relying on sex as the glue.

Intimacy and intercourse are two very different things, and a relationship can happily survive without one, but not the other and I'm sure you know which.
