Basically, would you be willing to date someone who fundamentally was not into sex? I would, as I find the purely romantic emotional aspect of a relationship more intoxicating, and the sexual aspect unnessesary for a relationship on my end. How about you? |

I'm already completely aromatic so honestly, i just don't really have an interest in sex or romance its just not my thing personally. |

I already am. Sex is just so overrated to me at this point bro. Tbh. There's always a somebody for somebody if sex is that important to you though. |

If I were in a relationship, it would have to be an Asexual one, because I'm not easily aroused "sexually speaking" ... I'm more-so attracted to women in a less-sexual way. It's hard to explain other than just saying it's Asexual. I would be more interested in the relationship just for the companionship/partnership, and the help we could give each other financially. |

Nah, not for me. I like sex too much for that to work. |

Why would you get in a relationship with someone you don't want to penetrate? |

That's the relationship that I currently want, and I think I'll even be fine if the relationship stays asexual until my death. But seems that it's difficult to find a romantic relationship without sex. |

RightWing said: can you not just get a friend as your roommate? what is the difference? There's difference. A friend or a roommate is different from girlfriend/boyfriend. You may imagine it as girlfriend/boyfriend, but without sex. e.g. You may not say "you're the most important person in my life" to your friend, but you may say it to your important one in asexual relationship (it's not a really good example, as I have never experienced a really, really good friendship...) |

Due to my horny nature at first i'd be like "aww goddammit" but in the end i'd most likely be fine with a relantionship like that, as long as i still received hugs and lap pillows at least |

Fucking and making love feel different though. maybe in your case there was anticipation of sex that you wouldn't have in an asexual relationship. Not at all. There was only regret and self loathing that I wasn't strong enough to remain chaste until marriage. The fact that I still go on about it shows how much it damaged me. My first ever grievance with the opposite sex was losing my virginity to my first love. In hindsight it was actually a great way to lose it compared to how a lot of other people lost theirs. The issue is that she was well aware that I wanted to save my virginity but she still seduced me anyway. I was protesting all the way to the point where she straddled me. God forgives but I don't forgive myself. The therapy is helping with that. |

That would be a blessing for me as I myself find sex disgusting, and can't imagine ever having a relationship that would require it. |

I wouldn't really know without having tried it out to see if it works, but my intuition says it's possible. I mean, I'm not gonna pretend like I have no needs but it's not the end of the world I suppose. I've dated someone with barely any physical intimacy, but that was due to the brevity and my social unintelligence rather than anyone being asexual. Also would no-sex include things like relieving your partner with your hand—which is technically not intercourse? I've heard some asexual people who're in a relationship with a sexual partner do that, if they find sex particiularly icky. |

If I loved her yes but I wouldn't be happy about that lack of interest. Though I guess that also depends how far are we talking here in defining sex. Is there no interest in physical intimacy at all beyond hugs and maybe kisses? |

Probably yeah, since I don't really value sex much in a relationship, I'll let her decide whatever she wants:) |

Well, I'm already in a healthy relationship, so no. But this thread did make me read up on asexuality in Wikiepdia, and it seems the subject is quite lacking. There's barely any research done on the biology of it. It seems to me there's a huge psychological influence to it. Like perhaps past trauma, bad experience with sex, and/or perhaps other mental health issues at work here that lowers the libido (depression and anxiety is known to lower libidos, for example). And like, would asexuals avoid physical intimacy alltogether, or just sex? And if it's only sex, and not physical intimacy, then what is causing the distinction? Is it biological? Psychological? |
May 13, 2021 10:44 PM

Yes, yes, yes. After the roller coaster these past few months were regarding my sex life, I'm quite over being intimate with people lmaoooo. |

i've been in one, was fine depends on whom i'm with i can be quite sexual with people who respond well to that but i don't need it |
May 13, 2021 10:50 PM
#33
Yeah, I think I could do that. Lack of sex isn't a lack of intimacy, just intercourse itself isn't done. There are many cases as to how people weren't able to perform intercourse but were still intimate (due to ie injury, age, neurodegenerative disease like alzheimer's, muscular disorder like MS, low libido, too much preparation for busy people, trauma, etc.) so it's not like it's unheard of/tied to only sexual identity. I remember this question about half a year back, and the majority would've said no. Seems the answers are flipped this time. |

Then what's the point of the relationship? JFL at the guys here who okay with that. "Asexual gf" means she isn't attracted to you , but will keep you around cause you're useful while she gets dicked down by some other guy |

A successful asexual relationship would be both parties being okay with a sexless relationship, and no one cheating on anyone. |

I've never had any interest in sex (which is probably definitely why I detest fanservice, refuse to watch hentai and usually rate ecchi anime really low) so that wouldn't be a problem for me whatsoever Granted I've never had much interest in romance either (although I do at least understand the appeal), but I would still personally prefer a romantic relationship over a sexual one |

I sometimes get horny I guess. But I also find a similar, sometimes more, sometimes less, amount of pleasure when imagining myself having some kind of psychological bonding than just pure sex. Would be nice if I can do/have both though but I don't mind if I didn't have sex with my partner (as I got quite decent amount of peculiar kinks that the significant other might find it disagreeable). Beating my meat has always been an alternative option if I ever get horny, lol |

Yep, why not. Psychological bonding for me is far more important than sex. |

Wejami said: Reread my critique of what you said, cause that's not even what I said.If you can't tell platonic friendships and romantic relationships apart that isn't on me. So, let me rephrase this: There's a clear difference between the emotional (non sexual) aspect of a romantic relationship and the emotional aspect of a friendship? Agree? Yes? Okay we can move on from that. Wejami said: The base of romance is attraction. And not all attraction is sexual or explicitly so. Wejami said: Attraction is what sets that love apart from other loves. Then comes companionship, shared lives or whatever. No interest in sex with someone means no attraction. Generally speaking no attraction? Or maybe just no sexual attraction? I mean, just because I'm romantically and emotionally into someone else doesn't necessitate the sexual component of that relationship. |
