[Quackthulu]

Yeah, I enjoy having friends in my life.

[WowwGirl]

Same

[lizzygreene]

no ooo

[mrfoox]

I assume an romantic relationship
And I think it will depend on both people and their sex drives. Personally I have basically none, so I would probably be okay without sex. To me sex isn't high on the list of what I'd like to do with an partner. My partner would ideally be my best friend and we'd get along great without sex involved.
So yes I can be happy in a relationship without sex, though I want both of us to be on the same page, just because I'd be fine without, doesn't mean they would be, comprise is important

[Apple1996]

I definitely couldn't be in a romantic relationship without having sex. That is how I feel loved and desired by my partner. People who are saying yes probably can receive love in different ways so it doesn't affect them as badly compared to the others that need it to feel loved.

[IronLady6354]

Not in a romantic relationship. Regular sex is a very important part in a romantic relationship. There might be dry spurts here and there, but you work through them. It's important to work to make sure you and your partner are having regular sex.

I think regular sex is especially important for men. Don't get me wrong, I do have a sex drive. However, it's not as high as my fiance's. I don't have sex with him every time he wants However, I have noticed that when I am willing to give me fiance a bit more sex than I like and am also willing to put a strong effort into our sex life he is much happier in the relationship and much more willing to work harder and compromise more in other areas that are very important to me. I'm sure that not all men are this way, but I think quite a lot of them are.

[wingattebaby16]

nope...

unless I was married a long time, he lost the ability to have sex, but we would still have him providing me relief... there is more than just penetration sex... oral, fingering, etc...

Right now, a guy that can't have sex with me is a closed door.

[jshm2]

Depends on the relationship.
With my sisters, of course ; I'm not an Alabama Murican, after all.

But with a girlfriend... if I wanted a girl, to cook, clean, and dress pretty for me, but no sex. Then a maid would do a better job, and cost less.

[Nmalinova]

Of course!! A relationship is about love... love IS NOT sex!! Speaking about the evolution etc etc etc sex used to be very painful for us ladies and not pleasant at all only a couple hundreds of years ago (in many places even nowadays)! To me it is a very separate thing! A romantic relationship can easily thrive without sex! I believe after a while, people just try to 'keep it alive' with sex, which doesn't fix the problem in the long run! in my opinion

[Avicenna]

Abolutely not. That is at most a friendship, not a partnership.

[WowwGirl]

Agreee

[dantheman1118]

It would definitely have to be a open relationship. I feel you can give someone all you can which could be everything you got... Excluding anything sexual. You have to find a way to release and doing by yourself every single time would get old. As long as it was discussed prior I feel having a separate sexual partner would be the answer. You would have one for everything that evolves emothing and love. The second one would simply be a place to park your beef bus.

[Avery_palka]

Yh, of course sex is not everything, love respect, care etc is what makes a relationship better, someone would be in a relationship with you and all he needs from you is sex because he takes you as a sc object nothing else when you meet up you o ly know it's time for sex no cuddling getting to know each other#sexcanwaitawhile🤭😹💃

[Bluemax]

Certainly not.

Arguably, sex is the defining act between friendship and a romantic relationship. I have lots of sexless relationships. I call them friends.

[Kaneki05]

Yes of course. I was taught as child by a game called Silent Hill 2 that sex should never take away from loving someone. So if i love that person it don't matter at all if they won't cause at the end of the day i love them and will be happy.

[Tunasub]

(un) happy... lol kidding.

Relationships aren't and shouldn't be based on sex... there are other ways to show love and affection for one another.

[Can-I-Get-A-DoOver]

No. But there are many ways to sex someone up besides PIV sex. I wouldn’t start a new relationship without sex, but I certainly wouldn’t leave a loving long-term relationship because of no PIV sex.

[Belgie]

No. I have friends and family. In a relationship, I want more than I can get from friends and family. If I'm not getting it, then it's not a relationship. It's a friendship.

[ettubrutus]

As long as both parties know that there will not be sex, I think it's possible. If nothing is said about it, it will probably lead to conflict eventually.

[BeenThereLovedIt]

I'm overall happy in my marriage, although it's sexless.

I go elsewhere for sex.

So yes, you can be happy in a relationship without sex, but if you are asking if you can be happy without sex, then that's a big NOPE.

[modelUN242]

Yes you can, people who wait until marriage report better sex and less rate of divorce. Plus, older couples in their 70s, 80s are like best friends for life at that point, really nice to see.

[minothekid]

Of course. If the relationship involves eating a lot of food, playing sports together, and playing video games andddd late night calls. I’m all up for it. Sex is the least of worries 😭

[WhereAmI]

I imagine of a lot of elderly couples do so yeah anything is possible.

[WhereAmI]

At my age prolly not.

[Via_8662]

As long as you and your significant other are both on the same page about it, otherwise it could be an issue. I personally could not.

[TJFreshman22]

Yes, but at that point it would just be a friendship. For a relationship to be considered one I would say physical intimacy is a must.

[MrOracle]

Nope. And I know myself well enough that I wouldn't even bother to try. There's just no point - we'd be fundamentally incompatible.

[LemiaOfTheCodes]

Sex doesn't always make someone happy. You could have sex every night but feel the loss of connection.

[coolaboola]

In an ideal world yes and maybe i later life it naturally goes that way... but generally speaking no. I ADORE sex and it shows no signs if abaiting lol

[reptocarl2]

In the right one yes. Better get in the right relationship because sex won’t last when you get older and when it’s gone then what will you do if that’s all you and your other have

[modeve]

No, it will be a barren and tension laden relation.

[Jjpayne]

It's possible but children and intimacy would be concerns for me

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

Yes, I think so.. After all, Sex is not there is about a loving long-term relationship

[thekissesofthesun]

No. We can get along fine and have the best connection which will fuel my sexual desires for him and if I won't get the sex I'll be frustrated. So, NO!

[TonyMetal___86]

Well sex is a part of marital life but if one day they grow old and sex ends than for sure the couple will be happy without sex, their presence with each other will be enough 😊

[jkm1864]

No it won't the men are always frustrated.

[TonyMetal___86]

@jkm1864 not all, well at leadt not me...

[TonyMetal___86]

*least

[Gwenhwyfar]

I would really miss it

[WowwGirl]

I thought probably not no

[worldscolide]

No.. Im sorry if i cannot have sex with the person im with. thats a need that i cannot and will not do without.

[hana12]

i can i am not assexual but sex isn't important to me is just a need and nothing else being close with person i love and being healthy is all matters to me.

[Ripper_E]

Me? Probably not
but I don't think it's an essential part of a relationship.

[bannacookies]

Yes. Even in a romantic relationship.
Those that say they can't have no self control.

[Gwenhwyfar]

Forever?

[bannacookies]

@Gwenhwyfar Forever.

[TiaraGlitzNeon]

I highly disagree.

[bannacookies]

@TiaraGlitzNeon That's because of the no self control factor.

[TiaraGlitzNeon]

No, more like humans are biologically programmed to want to have sex, and a relationship without sex is basically just a platonic relationship, or a friendship.

[Bluemax]

@TiaraGlitzNeon
Precisely! Half a billion years has instilled a drive for sex in all of us.

@bannacookies
If it's between two consenting adults who both want to enjoy each other's bodies, why exactly should they exert some "self control" as you call it? Why exactly should they deny themselves the joy and bonding that sex gives/

[bannacookies]

@Bluemax I think it's more hyped up than it should be. People can be happy without sex, and should't feel such a dire need for it. Once it's started its like a drug. They want it more and more, which isn't healthy.

[TiaraGlitzNeon]

Yes, but never getting it at ALL with your own partner / significant other is just kinda depressing and unnatural

[Bluemax]

@TiaraGlitzNeon
It's not kinda depressing. It's depressing. I've known such relationships. They suck.

@bannacookies
Are you aware that primates and cetaceans that don't mate live shorter lives? The same is true for humans. It's not a drug and it's not overhyped. It's 500 million years of evolution (yes, sex is about that old).

I get that YOU might not feel that way, but don't expect the rest of humanity... or mammals for that matter, to feel the same.

[Kaneki05]

I agree with cookies. Love is worth more than just sex. So i can be happy without it.

[SuccessfulHornDog]

I don't know exactly what you mean by "withoit sex" but but if its anything close to "without sex" then I would say probably not

[DiegoO]

Not me. I felt like the future pope in the only romantic relationship I ever had. And I only was hoping to have sexcam, not actual sex.

[AmeerX]

I can be happy.
And those who say they can't should remember you are bound to get old what will you guys do then?

[vlx-na]

Hardly. It's possible, if we agree that I can have sex on the side, but it is not relationships at all at that point.
Just friendship.

[Wise4myage]

No, I don't see the point of being in a relationship if sex wasn't involved.

[Liam_Hayden]

Easily. All of my longest and best relationships - my friendships - are completely without sex.

[Iron_Man]

Yes I can especially if it’s potential marriage On the horizon

[LEADFOOTboi]

Q - Q well, maybe... sounds like... being a side piece

[DrippingHoney]

I don't think so

[WowwGirl]

Friendship silly

[DrippingHoney]

I thought you meant romantic relationship 😂

[SuicidalGuy1]

No, I believe we need it at least once a month or two, humans need affection

[Sniper22287]

No , sex is a major piece of the pie. A woman feels more loved when she's being boned with a stiffy

[TiaraGlitzNeon]

For me, that's an honest no.

[jkm1864]

Sex is the expression of love so no I couldn't.

[Hermes-Paris]

You've obviously never been married...

[DrMeow]

depends on situation.

[Anti-Matter]

Yes and I have been on multiple occasions.

[ChocoBrownieMonster]

Still going strong as a virgin so yes 😊

[Unit1]

I can. But it's called friendship then.

[WowwGirl]

Agree

[Jerre]

Absolutely NOT!

[WowwGirl]

Right

[EmmaMary]

No, absolutely not.

[WowwGirl]

Hi pretty mommie🙂

[EmmaMary]

Hi, hope all is well and you're taking care and staying safe.

[WowwGirl]

I am hope all is well there too

[EmmaMary]

All is very well thank you.

[WowwGirl]

Good hug baby for me

[Elliegirl]

Probably not.

[loveslongnails]

Um... yes, in another 30 years. LOL

[1828avaava1828]

That girl deleted our GSP comments lol

[AcidT0y]

For a while sure, but not indefinitely.

[jasco]

yea you maybe but your partner maybe not
