How would humans reproduce if they don't have sex? It is in our nature and this intimacy is a very important aspect of a romantic relationship because you connect on another level. You do not have this kind of connection with your family and friends and that is what makes a romantic relationship so much more special.
I'm 67, my wife is 6 months younger and there IS true love between us. (it was there after about a month of knowing each other quite well) Yes, I still like to grab her. I hope this (nearly answers your question.
As humans, we fully expect romantic love to be a part of the equation - to be swept off our feet - both guys and girls want this. If we get less, we can exist without it, but we will always long it.
When it comes to true love you haft to have mental plus physical attraction, you can't have one with out the other. Normally it's the physical attraction that gets you their, while it's the mental attraction that keeps you their.
Reality Check: Partners who are in catastrophic accidents that are not attractive still manage to love, even to the dying day, their partners and maintain absolute fealty.
They didn't start out that way. When hey were dating or prior to the accident, there was physical attraction. That's a ridiculous example. Try to think of something better
Yes I do believe it is possible. I don't believe true love can be changed by something as superficial as looks; if it can, i'd question whether it was true love.
No. True, healthy and lasting love has many components, sex is one of them. What you depict is not "love". Thought it may appear to be.

Is it possible to love someone without having a physical relationship? Sure it is. Do I want to live like that? No. I really don't know if I could romantically LOVE a man the way I'm supposed to, if I didn't find him sexy as fuck.
True love surpasses physical attraction. If you consider physical attraction as love, then its just plain infatuation. Whereas true love is illogical, unreasonable and unconditional.
So is he a BF or a friend who's a boy, or is he just a guy that's never going to get laid and hasn't figured it out yet? I'm not trying to be mean, just to understand whether he feels the same way and what that means for your relationship.

I think i could not love someone without physical attraction. If it would happened it would not last long.

Great point.
khaysundei is stitches
Without the physical attraction it's called a friendship. You can truly and deeply love your friends. But it's not true love
Reality Check: Partners who are in catastrophic accidents that are not attractive still manage to love, even to the dying day, their partners and maintain absolute fealty.
so true love has lust in it?
Why do you think Aphrodite has so much sex?

Love for your spouse/partner maybe not but for a child or relative yes.
You mean like love between family members or platonic friends? Sure.
So you don't think its possible to love someone without finding them attractive?
Well, do you love your mom/dad/sibling (s)/platonic friends? I suppose you do. And do you feel physically attracted to them? I suppose you don't.
Amirite?
I think family love is a different kind of love in my opinion, its more like loyalty & caring than anything else but you do have a point.
Exactly. And that difference mainly revolves around the lack of physical attraction.
I think any relationship without sexual intention or desire is just a friendship.
True
i don't find my BF attractive at all... and we never got laid so far. But still i love him to bits

I love my dog.. And as for if im attracted to him, thats can obviously be talked about later but i dont think so as for your question ;;)
I find personality tells you how attractive a person is
Well, yes it can. I tend to think it is less likely, however.
omg i dont understand that they are hurting themselves
They seem happy so I guess its not our place to judge.
no i am not judging them at all i just dont understand how things work. Do they have an open relationship? where they can see others?
nope.
No.
Humans merely rationalize that they "love" a person.
That is the nature of love. At some point you realize the fun part doesn't last forever. Some guys get married. Others turn serial monogamist.
