Given only these two choices, would you rather go the rest of your life without sex or without romantic love?

[jerdanro]

Honestly this is an impossible choice. I don't think I'd be happy without both.

[Lady_Ann]

Without Sex! I have a vibrator for the rest as long as he ain't having sex either. If that ain't possible then I choose nothing. I stay by myself

[IronLady6354]

I think that's a false choice. Romantic love and sex go together. If you have romantic love for someone you'll want to have sex with them.

[PrudentGuy]

TBH, I don't full understand "romantic love". Is it about flowers? Or candlelight dinners? Or hold hands while walking on the beach full of onlookers? Or secretly fuck in the cinema while the movie is playing?

Really?

But I enjoy companionship. Appears similar. Good friends sitting around a ten course table eating and drinking and talking vanities; run wild and playing ball in the beach; hike in the mountains; go for a swim;

Aren't those fun? (Apart from killing each other in online video games of course)

So what's left?

Yes, sex. Hence I choose sex. I can forsake the first "romantic stuffs" I wrote because they can be substituted by the platonic "companionship" stuffs.

[jerdanro]

There is a difference between romantic love and platonic love.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Romantic love, because Ifi rather real love that endures

[jerdanro]

So you'd take sex over a romantic partner?

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

I wouldn't take sex over a partner, no... But it's the "romantic' word throwing me off... If say intimate romance sounds like flowers and date nights, etc... But real intimate love don't need all that past the time you spend together. I mean flowers and dates are nice, little romantic gestures are nice, but I'm more about the other things the conversations the getting each other through the ups and downs, the skates laughter, and then yes the physical aspect of sharing love (sex)

[jerdanro]

I see. I understand. I meant romantic as opposed to platonic. I agree. The fireworks subside and are replaced with a deeper, lasting love if both people work at it. I also believe in a good relationship, you can rekindle the fire.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Exactly!!👍👍

@brainsbeforebeauty Since I turned 50 in December I have started to doubt that I will ever find that. I've started over so many times in relationships, even my career and I always thought there would be more time. Then I woke up one morning and I was 50. I suddenly felt like time had caught up with me. I'm not depressed, but somewhar resigned.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

I feel you! And I'll be 49 soon, so 50 lurking right around the corner 😱😱

[jerdanro]

Where did the time go? :)

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

I'm so old I forgot 🤣

[jerdanro]

Lol. At least you still look good.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Thanks 🙂

[PaynefulPleasures]

Well I'm doing good so far since my husband passed away in 2018 I've been going without either of them & I'm surviving, but who's to say what the future holds, I really don't care just my opinion ✌️

[Elliegirl]

I’d rather go without sex than without love. Love is better than sex.

[Jesus_is_the_guey]

Hands down without sex, there is nothing in this world that can compete with real love matter of fact most people these days will never encounter it due to our throw away culture and break down of morals and human decency

[bullforcucks]

I can skip romantic love

[AwesomeMe_]

Without romantic love. Can't care about love at this point.

[Anonymous]

No more sex. Love can be so much better

[Anonymous]

Go the rest of my life without romantic love.
I'm not sure what romantic love is anymore and I'm unsure if I need it.
So at the time being, I would rather have some good sex - at least I know what that is.
