Do you really have to have sex in a relationship?

[MrOracle]

If you want a relationship with a guy, then, yes.

The vast, vast majority of men have NO interest in a romantic relationship that is sexless. That's like a house without a roof, or a restaurant that doesn't serve food - there's simply no point.

Sex is far from the ONLY thing important about a relationship, but it's one of the things that, for the vast majority of men, is a "must have."

[Plitty-Tank]

Sex in a relationship is not needed.

[MissKittyz]

In my relationships, yes. If we aren't having sex at all, at this point it is better to just stay friends. Sex is more than just pleasure. It makes you feel wanted, sex, atrractive, etc. If your partner never wants sex with you, you'd feel like something is wrong with you.

[AustinMan]

Sex is the engine that drives intimate relationships. It's vital, esp early.

[cheapshotbob]

no but some people have urges that can't contol , myself i will be 50 in a few years sp sex is not required or needed , i just like talking or going out for coffee, im not crazy or anything if it is offered i will oblige the lady, but sex is not what i look for any more. but most women laugh the notion of a guy not wanting sex. well its been 28 years for me and will be 29 years this November

[TheCunningLinguist]

No. If it is to be part of the relationship, both should be willing and desirous of it. Once you have been in a relationship or enough relationships, you realize it's not the highest priority that many portray.

[R4vedave]

You don't HAVE to, but most people have sexual urges and desires which, if left unfulfilled, can lead to resentment and frustration, which can in turn hurt the relationship.

[TheIdiotManiac]

If sex just isn't your thing, you may just want to look up "asexual" and see if you fall into that category. Got a friend who is asexual and she's been in a relationship with a great guy for 2 years now and he seems to be accepting of the fact she doesn't want sex because the idea of it just disgusts her. Can't force what doesn't feel right to you :)

[SimonF0reman]

sex isn't everything but it does play it's part... maybe you just don't feel it right now... but there are several other things that build a great relationship like communication and the ability to share your ideas interests and dreams

[cicchis0]

You don't have to, but it is an intimate bonding experience that normally strengthens a relationship.

[koolkal]

No you don't, but depending on the guy that can be an issue. Especially if you make it with him, he may expect to go further.

Talk it over with him to make sure you're both on the same page concerning sex.

[slatyb]

Isn't that the point of a relationship? Otherwise you have a friendship.

[gagsucs]

sure, but why would u even want a relationship with someone if u dont wanna have sex with him?
jus get a male friend... same thing

[Jean-Marie_Céline]

God, no.
I hate sex, I only do it to please that pervert that's my fiancée.

[Dchrls78104]

Sex isn't the most important aspect of a marriage, but it's not fair to condemn someone to a sexless marriage.

[chriscdi]

you dont have too but a lot of people require sex to want to be in the relationship

[Shamalien]

no you don't, there is more to it than sex, people rush into sex so fast they don't get to experience that though.

[clampfan101]

No. Some people can’t even have sex, but anyone can have love.

[CT_CD]

I think sex is the main reason people get into relationships.

[Nachowedgie]

Well what's the point in being in one otherwise, a relationship without sex is just best friends

[Kru2020]

You're pretty much just friends if there is no physical aspect of the relationship.

[andreasderjuengere]

Yes.
If not: I could keep a dog.

[Twalli]

I would like it. We won't get married beforehand

[one1wild00]

for me, that is a definite YES.

[Lily-bardot]

A relationship without sex is called a friendship

[mikesafa]

yes other vise why I bother with it

[Anonymous]

No but it’s usually expected

[Anonymous]

It deepens the bond, that’s all.

[OfDeath]

It's not really a relationship otherwise

[32DD_yeye]

Uh usually yes

[COMMODOREII]

I do yes.

[B2281]

When dating no.

[Turk288]

Duuhh

[Billneidrich77]

No you don't
