Is it possible to have a romantic relationship and never have sex?

[Anonymous]

I’m into men, but I know I can’t sleep with one because of my spiritual restrictions.

[Alli112]

Welcome to the idea of asexuality lol. (actually, plenty of asexual people do have sex, but whatever, you get the point.) Basically, it's possible, but you need a partner who either want sort is comfortable with the same.

That said, if you're not ace, a fully not physical romantic relationship might be difficult for both you and your partner. I hope you find a path that brings you peace.

Thank you

I think God will be able to tell that you want to sleep with him by watching you be all touchy feely with the guy, and will punish you anyway. So you might as well sleep with him.

Does your religion allow romantic relationships with the same sex, as long as they aren't sexual? Is that typical with Abrahamic faiths?

My opinion is "no." At least in the long run. The relationship will feel empty the longer it goes on. And almost always fail. Just like the sexless marriages I see tons of men and women complaining about.

[meepmeeperton]

In your case I'd say it's possible.

With a straight couple sex is a way to connect on a deeper level and eventually produce children.

With gays it's generally just another way to get your rocks off. Gay men often don't restrict themselves to one sexual partner, even in a "relationship."

Oh, the heart wants what the heart wants, doesn't it? Love and romance can absolutely bloom in the most ethereal way, even without the physical intimacy of sex. Picture this: connections built on deep conversations, shared experiences, and emotional intimacy. These can form the most unbreakable bonds. Remember, in every relationship, communication is key. Make sure to express your needs and boundaries clearly, and look for someone who respects and cherishes them as much as you do. Love, after all, is about understanding and appreciating each other fully, beyond just the physical. 😉 Keep your heart open, and you'll find someone who's on the same page. Love finds a way!

Thanks a lot 😊.

yes. also depends on the couple/people in the relationship if they are okay with it or don't like to do it that much anyways.

now your question about being into men but not being able to sleep with one because of, i'm assuming religion, that's a whole other subject.

[paledreams]

Sure yet everyone's welcomed to their own coping mechanisms - i for one love good daydreams and good 😊 humble times of doing my own things, dishes, errands, paying taxes or daydreaming or the television or Google

[kwsmith2]

It's certainly possible to have a drama-ship with someone under those circumstances, but the whole thing is going to be dominated by pinning and frustration rather than intimacy and romance.

Sure. Asexual people exist and certainly are able to have fulfilling relationships. It might be a little more difficult to find another man who wants that sort of asexual connection, but they for sure exist.

[bobby_bush_eater]

It's certainly possible, can't say I relate to that feeling but it's definitely possible.

Asexual people exist, I've never had a conversation about it with them but they survive naturally...

So you're going to let some stories written by desert tribals prevent you from enjoying your life? Sucks to be you!

[Unit1]

Imagine being the one writing those and having billions of lives abide to whatever you write (plus minus) well over 2000 years later.
One would think in the era of smartphones and aerial drones and anime AI girlfriends our civilization would have so many better things to do but no.

[Juxtapose]

@Unit1 people deserve it if they are stupid enough to fall for it quite frankly.

[Juxtapose]

@Unit1 Muhammad would probably be both enthralled and also disgusted. He would probably want to genocide the modern earth.

[Unit1]

I find it hard to say this and not give any signs of hating religion at the same time. There is probably no nicer way to put it.
"Religion isn't for me" isn't telling enough.

[Juxtapose]

@Unit1 just straight up say the religion is a genocidal, rapist, pedophile cult and their warlord leader was a child rapist piece of shit who would torture people for fun.

[Juxtapose]

If they're going to say you deserve to burn and be tortured yourself then why hold back?

Sex has nothing to do with romance.

"Is it possible to have a romantic relationship and never have sex?"

It's possible to have the relationship, but it will never be a good one.

[Anonymous]

i wouldn't want a romantic relationship like that

[standardguy]

For a time it's possible to let sex away. But after one year or so you will have to separate or marry and have sex.

[serious_miss419]

As I say,
You can be intimate with someone and not even touch them.

[In_Trance]

Wouldn't those same spiritual restrictions prevent you from being with another man?

[Anonymous]

Having a romantic relationship with a man is also sinful.

[Anonymous]

I mean if you follow abrahamic religions its sinful regardless

[Nifrayu]

Of course it's possible.

[imfreeze95]

It’s quite possible I’m Asexual

[Karina_65]

For me not sex it is also important

[RyanK9b]

That's sounds like hetero cope. You sound not gay

[dustybiker2]

That is friendship.

[Awantika03]

Possible

[jahaims]

Moron

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

[Twalli]
