Is it possible for a couple to love each other if you remove sex from their life?

Sex is never a prerequisite for true love. Sex is only one infinitesimal part of an entire package.

Do you think that those couples that have been together for their entire lifetime remained together because of sex? Of course not. An 80 year old senior does not think of sex when he looks into the eyes of his companion of a lifetime. They are beyond such trivialities. Their bond is made of other things than just sex.

Sex is actually THE only part of love that destroys it. Without sex, there would be much less cheating and lies among couples. Sex is is performed less than one single percent of an adult's awake time yet for many, this is the most important factor in a relation. And then people wonder why there are so many relations that fail...

[Soulmate124]

So true. Exact same feeling. I gues it's more of a ego issue that we should have sex if not either one of us is not attracted to the other

[mstbooblover]

Let's keep in mind that sex is a sheer normal natural phenomenon between people loving each other. Sex without love is possible of course, but true love without sex? Maybe for a very few, but ok, still not impossible. Now, let me stress the point that I do not agree with you stating sex to be the only part of love that destroys it. That statement does not stroke with reality, sex still possibly being sometimes a symptom of something going ape between the involved people ;0)

Yes, of course. Love and sex are not the same thing. They're often mutually exclusive.

[Soulmate124]

But i have seen girls who have left the guy as sex life wasn't good

[Opinion Owner]

You asked if it was possible, not if the relationship would last. Get to the root cause of why sex stopped and try to resolve the problem. Work towards reintroducing sex to the relationship. The sooner, the better. The longer this goes on, the harder it will be to overcome. If it's related to physical injury or erectile dysfunction, seek medical opinion. Viagra is over the counter now!

[Soulmate124]

But won't you find your husband less attractive if he has to take viagra to have sex

[Opinion Owner]

No. Who cares how the erection got there as long as it's there? If anything, I'd feel like you weren't attracted to me anymore. Many anxiety/depression medications can lower your sex drive and cause impotence. But the benefits outweigh the drawbacks. Before trying Viagra or Cialis, ask about potential counter indications with other medications.

Is it possible to fall out of love if misunderstanding was the reason for separation

[Opinion Owner]

It's possible to fall out of love for no reason at all.

[Soulmate124]

I am not able to. Even though the person inflicted lot of pain. At this point I remember only her affection

[Opinion Owner]

Getting over someone takes time, it won't happen over night. Keep busy to distract your mind.

[mstbooblover]

It is not impossible, and sure depends for some part on the age of the couple you mean, but I've known such a middle aged couple, who never had had sex together, and still they loved each other very much. They had a lot of other activities together, such as playing music and traveling abroad. Now, this is not a rule, and if one of the partners doesn't want sex at all, sure the other one will look elsewhere, or best case scenario, masturbate a lot, the latter being excellent for the health by the way ;0)

[Soulmate124]

Yes masturbation Is ok. Imagine enjoying companionship is mos beautiful thing right

[mstbooblover]

No doubt real companionship as a form of love is precious, but still for many couples not enough. Sex is also a way to express oneself and remains important for a long time. Years passing by, sex will maybe not be very important anymore. Having been maried for 38 years till the death of my wife, and although we had good sex during most of those years, what has binded us was indeed that which cannot be described. It's something past companionship, and when my wife died, it felt and still feels as amputation, a nearly physical pain.

[ChrisMaster69]

Yes because there is not a huge number of over 50’s getting divorced.

it would be like get to 60 and divorce.

there would be no married couples at 70.

those who save themselves for marriage would never marry.

where a partner is disabled etc and unable to have sex, then they would all be single.

[Soulmate124]

I am speaking about younger people when sex drive is high

[ChrisMaster69]

Oh the white Font size 2, missed that bit

[FunkyMonkee]

Yeah! I did it for at least 5 years until she started cheating on me.

[jahaims]

If they are those asexual sure

[CuriousMufuxka]

Well after a certain point it's removed anyway.

[888theGreat]

sure

[Zygum]

No love without sex

[Tim-S]

My wife ended up with Vaginitis 12 years ago. We have not had sex since. We still are best friends and love each other very much. Trust me, being a male with a high testosterone level, this is not easy... but doable.

[Soulmate124]

But u did it. I guess it's easier for men to do that. As we do not take it on our ego

[fireforeffect]

yes.

[Anonymous]

I've already asked this question before on this site and every woman answered unanimously. No! You remove sex and it's over.

[Soulmate124]

Isn't it sad but. Where did true love go

[Anonymous]

I’ve been there. You don’t want that. Sex is important to me because it’s on a personal level. And if she sucks, or isn’t willing to put out (which hurts), I wouldn’t be able to do it.

[Soulmate124]

What if she has a medical issue which is preventing arousal

[Anonymous]

Yeah…

[Soulmate124]

So if you can't have sex u will still be in love with him?

[Opinion Owner]

Yeah i will

[Soulmate124]

But won't u get attracted to other men sexually if u aren't getting sex here

[Opinion Owner]

My Sex drive is not very high

[Soulmate124]

That's good to know
