There are no girls on the internet.

EDIT: Uhhh.... Yeah, approved.
 
Yeah, I would, and have, though my last "relationship" was a few years ago.

Sure, I think about sex, but I don't really want it in a relationship until its serious.



Yeah, I'm a guy...









Also, I'm with sulk. :naughty:
 
For me, relationships are about telling you how pretty you are and masturbating furiously.

It's not by choice, though, I swear.
 
It's plausible to go through a relationship without sex, but it would make life much more livable for most couples fs.

It's dumb to base an entire couple relationship around sex alone, however, most men are simplistic in nature when it comes to love life. By contrast, many women want the whole emotional, "Romeo & Juliet" thing. You know, fancy dinners, gifts, appreciation, suaveness etc. <(*cough*worship...*cough*)

Then again, many women just want security. If a man can give can provide this, it doesn't matter how often he asks for sex, cuz the woman will be so damn cozy and appreciated, she'll happily oblige every night.

Personally, if I had a mate that asked me to marry her, and for some medical reason she could neverhave sex again, and I really loved her (for her personality, humor, sensibility, same interests as me, etc.) it wouldn't bother me.

If she was perfectly healthy though, then no.
 
Yes?
Unless you mean for the rest of your life then maybe
 
It's human nature to procreate. For the love of god, that's why we are born...to screw! So, I don't imagine anybody would be happy without sex, unless they have no genitals or have never had sex before.
 
I'd have to take it on a subjective, case-by-case basis. But as a general rule, sex-free relationships are bullshit and I don't take part in them.
 
I've seen some weird growths in relationships that have tried to bypass the "no sex" thing.

Like having nothing but anal intercourse, because for some reason that doesn't count...? I've met at least a few people who have sworn themselves as virgins but then take it up the ass on a regular basis.

Point is: Get properly laid before shit starts gettin' freaky.

My boyfriend and I have been recently going out, and we've talked about having children. I'm not too keen on having them because of what I've seen from other children these days, but my boyfriend doesn't care either way. We're in this relationship because of my great love for him and his feelings for me, and if he does or does not want to do....that, that's fine by me.

The exact opposite of this. As humans, we can question things the way animals cannot.

What Stern said about sex-free relationships being equivalent to the relationship between siblings is completely off. If she's your soulmate, you can connect at an intellectual level that makes other things like sharing the same sense of humour/having sex relatively insignificant.
 
But if anything, having such a powerful emotional and intellectual connection with something is an even greater reason to have sex, is it not?

soulmate? lol ..come on that's nonsense, it's just quasi spiritual mumbo jumbo meant to sell getting cards and put misplaced loyalty in certain religious principles "I have a soul, surely in this world of 6 billion there's a soul made just for me" even if it were true the chances of meeting your "true" soulmate is astronomically low


if there is no sexual attraction, if there is no physical contact ever you might as well hang with your sister or friend because it's basically the same relationship. being in love with someone = sexual love ..all else is sibling/parent/pet love and not the same as sexual love
 
A relationship with absolutely no sex? Isn't that called marriage.

Thats my joke for the day (I promise).
 
Stern, never hang out with your parents pets or siblings around me. Srsly.

Wow. Way to jump to the wrong conclusion. I am not religious in the least. But I believe that certain personalities do click in way that is close to being a perfect match. You may have many soulmates spread out around the world. You just have to find one and stick with them.

But don't let me rain happiness on your parade of disillusionment and cynicism. :rolleyes:
 
kids have big disposable incomes with nothing to spend on except toys and candy ..I simply provided them with a service that was like toys and candy in one ...I also sell drugs to help you ween you off the drugs ..and also drugs to ween you off of the drug weening drug
 
I give away all my money. The people I give it to no doubt spend it on drugs.

Even w/o sex your relationship with your wife would be different from that with your sister. Either that, or your family situation is...icky.

Anyway, I'm not an authority on the subject and I have to study now so kthxbai.

you miss the point ..if I had feelings of attraction for a person and I fall in love with that person it's fundamentally different than my love for my hypothetical sister BECAUSE my attraction to that person is sexual desire whereas the love for my sister is the love of a brother for a sister = no sexual desire
 
Sex isn't the only thing to go into a relationship for. I find it much more enjoyable to just hold my girlfriend in my arms and stare into her eyes. Tell her how much I love her and know that sex isn't something we need to do.
 
Sex is an important thing in a relationship. If you think otherwise, ugh....
 
Daaamn straight. And in response to earlier posts: ladies, ladies. There is enough of me to go around.

(I'm not fat.)

I can't and have never been able to agree with this strange distinction people sometimes make between intellectual and sexual love. If you truly love someone, they say, surely the sex is insignifigant. Now, it's not that I mean to diminish the power of loving relationships that involve no intercourse - very old couples, or those where for whatever reason 'normal' sex isn't possible. But I dispute the contention that sex is in some way an 'inferior' or 'merely physical' dimension to a sense of love which is 'bigger'.

To me, this smacks of two things. One is religion, spirituality, whatever.Privileging of the 'spiritual' above the real. Well, there isn't anything 'outside' reality, there's nothing 'higher' than the physical - or, to be more accurate, and more radical, there is nothing lower than the conscious. There is no physical/spiritual divide. We experience the 'physical' world through those exact things that we might also claim as 'spiritual' - our conciousness, our culture, our language, and its meanings. The second thing is the semi-retarded preachmaking of internet wise men who have been so often and so ridiculously heard to protest that sex is worthless. Remember Poseyjmac? "Sex is just mutual masturbation!" And another on the ZM forums: "I can't see what's so great about sex tbh. Just in and out." The immediate and snappy answer is either to suggest that these people have never had sex themselves (inevitably true) or to quip that if that is all they do, they can't be very good lovers.

But behind this basic wit are more profound truths. First: maybe they're missing the point. Maybe sex is about more than that. Or second, maybe they're still missing the point: maybe sex doesn't need to be about more than that. There's nothing wrong, low or base about physical gratification, even if that were all that sex was - and sometimes, maybe for some people, it is. And that's no problem.

I've made no real conclusion here and I guess that's because while I'd dearly love to try and untangle the way we think about sex (in a very real way, the way we think about the act IS the act itself) - there are so many seemingly contradictory cultural illusions about it. But I think the project would take longer than...my penis.
 
Yeah, if we both loved each other it shouldn't matter. Anyways, you can do other sexual things that are not actual sexual intercourse.

you obviously haven't experienced the kind od sex i'm talking about.

sex can be boring, but if you have someone who can make your deepest fantasies come true, we are talking about a different level of sex. i'm talking of the kind of sex you just let go and don't have to worry if you're complying to some "unwritten" rules.

when having sex you can see if the partner is really thinking of you or dreaming something/someone else. all of your problems and secrets, normally emerge at the act of sex, if you're really intimate with your partner, not just some kind of one night stand, where you can't really do shit.

You know, I have to wonder how old jverne is. My bet is that he's still a bit young to be acting like there's no such thing as love.

Listen, by the time you get to be my age (57), you learn a thing or two about what love really is.
Love is when she turns 13 and you still want to rape her just as much as when you first kidnapped her.
Love is when you see the first pubic hairs growing in and you aren't completely disgusted.
Love is when it actually hurts a bit when you realize she would hate if you if not for Stockholm syndrome.





Sighhhh.

haha. actually i'm 22 , and was in a intimate relationship 4 years (she is 19), with a girl that we are still best friend, since we really understand each other. and it wasn't just a standard relationship (at least based on the ones i know). we pretty much saw each other every day for 3 years. the first year twice per day. the last year (4th) we lived in the same apartment by ourselves. we basically knew each other in every detail.
sex the first 2 years was awesome...two or three times a day, every day. the last year was getting slow, but it got more kinky and weird. i don't want to go into detail, but let me say this...anal was just the very tip of the iceberg. :)
and i have a feeling we still left out alot of stuff.


anyway what i think about love. there are two kinds of love...one kind of love is that blind love where you just go insane for each other, setting aside most problems. that kind of love ends with most people after 6 months to 1 year. then starts a period where you really care for the partner but it is not the main topic of attention. it's now when habits start to kick in. at this time your partner is more of a tool to help you go trough life, but it's not the sole reason for living anymore.
there are more variables, but this is the main sketch.

the second kind of love (which isn't really love) is nothing more than a group of emotions and feelings like security, trust, friendship and physical contact.

it's really hard to explain because i didn't figured out all the parts and i have to write in English. but you get the picture. i'll try to patch the holes as i go.
 
Definitely no here, sex is just faaaaaaaaaaaaaar too good with my gf. Way too relaxing to give up. And hey, I can talk to her about the things you mentioned aswell, so it's a win-win situation there :D
