Can a relationship between an asexual person and someone who isn't work?

[Anonymous]

I'm dating a woman who's asexual and doesn't enjoy sex all that much, yet at the same time, I still love her.

Of course it can work because there is much more to a relationship that just fornication.

Copulating takes less than one single percent of an adult's awake time yet people seem to think that this 1% is the predominant factor in a relationship. Well, it is not.

You can still hold hands, you can still kiss or cuddle and that is just as important than the fornication. Furthermore, when a couple can grow without the problems that sex brings along, such as cheating, both physically and emotionally, then the relationship can be just as deep as when sex ruins everything because of the stress and pressure involved.

This is probably TMI, but sometimes she does get revealing when we're in private, and she'll let me masturbate while looking at her.

It can and will work for some couples. There is far more to life than just bumping uglies.

I have always wondered this. I can't help with the answer beyond saying... it'll work as long as you are content.

If it's going to be a problem, it would be a problem for the sexual person in accommodating the asexual person. If you're all good, I think the asexual thing isn't an issue beyond that.

Again, I am not confident in this answer. That's essentially just a best guess. I'm interested to see the replies to this one too.

Yeah, we do have sex every now and then because she knows I like it, which is content enough for me.

[SteveSmith1985]

That's cool. If you're content, and she doesn't mind having sex sometimes I don't see why it wouldn't be fine. (I don't even really know how asexuality works tbh)

Not likely unless she's willing to give but not receive. Even then not likely

Very difficult. But if you love her, at least you won’t cheat on her.

I couldn’t do it , well I guess some marriages are sexless anyways , so welcome to old people marriage man.
