Question

Pinay_ako · Accepted Answer

If sex is the only reason why you’re in a relationship, I suggest to break it off. You can get sex from someone else with no strings attached. I will stay in a relationship because I want to be with the person. Not because of the benefits I can get from him. As long as the respect, love and commitment is there, I can assure him I’ll be with him till the end.

Tell jokes, smile, hug me, hold my hand, tell me I’m beautiful, buy me flowers, give me rides to the garden, shop for groceries with me for birthday parties, laugh when I do something funny.

I'd say the kids, or possibly money if the kids are already out of school. Like my biggest concern now isn't getting laid, though the sex is great, rather it's ensuring my little ones are comfortable. It would have to be really extreme for divorce to come up.

Raising kids is insanely easier with two parents compared to friends and girlfriends I've had who were raising them on their own.

Why isn't there sex? Mdical problems make it impossible? She has no libido? Thinks sex is disgusting?

MrOracle · Answer

Waiting a certain amount of time in a new relationship before having sex is reasonable and sensible, and obviously if there is a health/medical issue that prevents you from having sex for a while, that's also reasonable. But aside from those exceptions, if you aren't having sex together, there are big problems in the relationship, and most people aren't going to stay in such a relationship for long.

Some people like to use shaming language or say "you are just in it for the sex", but if someone just wants sex, they don't need to pretend to be in a relationship, and few do. Certainly, someone who is doing everything else you would expect them to do in a relationship isn't just in it for the sex.

To the vast majority of adults, though, sex is an important, vital, and expected part of a romantic relationship, and if one partner arbitrarily cuts that off, it's going to be a big problem, even if it takes a while to boil over. Lack of sex is the second most common cause of divorce, for example.

So here's the thing to me: sex is great and all but I can do without for a long time with no struggle. That said, if there never was and never will be? That wouldn't work.

Its not just about sex. Its about feeling desired and attractive. There are probaly more emotional needs involved than physical.

So in a nutshell, short-term for me there is no need to worry or compensate. Long-term it is a dealbreaker.

I had an ex when i was a virgin. Together for like four months. Looking back, now that im having sex, im guessing he was probably fucking someone else lmao. He had female friends (close ones). I was naive. Its good though, it didn't become extremely serious, not in love.

But at the time, we made out a lot and i still made him cum from jerking him off and he fingered me eventually. We watched movies, went on dates, talked. Not much. Comparing it to my last relationship, its not half of it. But i had sex with that ex (virgin phase) months after we broke up and it wasn't bad but wasn't good either. Guess we weren’t compatible sexually anyway.

I've the experience to answer this. Building emotional attraction, through bantering.. remembering its not so much ehat you say he, wordless rambling (guilty 🖐 ) but how it makes you feel, so try to evoke emotion

you can still do something like a massage (obviously the less dangerous ones),

and ask them to do fun activites outdoors with you to help keep the mind off.. try new stuff tigetehr

EricSummer · Answer

She can remind me that it is important to raise our children together. In addition she can threaten to interfere with my job and no longer stay at home when the children are ill for example, even though she never worked more than a 40% schedule with great flexibility.

This combined strategy worked for about 4 years.

It was good to be with our kids until the youngest was 13, but when my ex wife then also cheated it was time to end the marriage.

Bikotan · Answer

I’m in a relationship without sex and we are happy finding intimacy in other ways. We cuddle and touch but nothing sexual. They have a great sense of dark humor and our needs our met.

Minahh · Answer

Lmao as if sex would ever be the reason for me staying in the relationship 😂 the only thing worth staying in a relationship is if he is a kind person and with that other amazing qualities go hand in hand you know you either are a good person or you're not. Literally that simple. Although there are many snakes who will try to convince you they're the best thing that ever happened to you.

Treat me like a special person.
Not be upset when I masturbate and let me sit on her belly and cum on her nipples. This is my true story , she wanted nothing to do with sex. But she did know that I wanted orgasms.

Emin olun, geçici zevklerden daha değerli duygular bırakabilecek şeyler var. Ama onu kendin bulmalısın.

Literally nothing. Sex is the difference between being in a relationship and being roommates. There’s no intimacy like sex.

diana_james · Answer

Emotional connectedness is often stronger than physical. Don't get me wrong, physical is important but getting it on between brains is stronger than getting it on with the bodies.
