Anyone okay with being in a sexless marriage / relationship?

Bless your heart

Why? I don’t need to be blessed by you or anyone. I’m fine with this. It’s everyone else who might have a problem with it.

I don’t have a relationship due to feeling like I would bring someone down with me bc of sz. I don’t like going out to eat for example and that would not be fair to someone else. I can’t be a normal person and do normal things, I personally think that would be unfair to someone else. Sex included some days I can on meds and some days I can’t.

ā€œbless your heartā€ is a very patronizing thing to say to anyone. I know because I’ve used it only ever in a patronizing way.

Saying that doesn’t do anything for me. I’m not religious, so I’m not endeared to the lacking sentiment.

It did come across - like bad. Maybe not your intention. Like something to be sorry for.

I don’t want a sex drive myself, I just have posed the question I don’t want to hurt my partner. I don’t feel sorry that I don’t care about sex.

I have always had a high libido. Still no sex would not be a dealbreaker. Love is what matters. Affection can be shown in so many ways: a shared laugh, a hug, a sweet word, cooking the dinner I love, listening to me carefully, whatever. If my partner wouldnt want sex, i’d wish for us to talk about it. And no way I’d leave or want a sex worker. It is not that important.

And the other way round: i have high fear around sex and conservative values. I have told my current…whatever he is…we have been chatting romantically for ages, but he lives abroad, so we haven’t met yet. I said I might not wish to have sex before marriage, and I wouldnt know what I’m capable of, even if I like it. His response: ā€œi will live, there is more to life than sex.ā€

None of us can know how your specific partner feels. Nor do you if you don’t ask. But there are many of us who like sex, but know that love is what really matters. Don’t be afraid. A careful talk can clear the sky, I think.

I can either take or leave the sex. My current romantic interest does excite me though. I’m just happy with having a companion in life.

I’m ok with no sex but I’m not ok with no cuddles from hubby. The sex isn’t important to me but I help him by having it with him. For me it’s not something satisfying. I’ve never climaxed in sex so I don’t get anything from it. I get a LOT from physical affection though, like hugs and cuddles. I can’t live without that.

I can live without sex and masturbation.
I never think about sex.

My x and I went four months without sex.
We were pretty perfect as a family and partners and he may be my closest but we were not that sexually compatible.
He once said my vagina is too big and wet for him.
I forgave him for saying that.

My current boyfriend says my vagina is perfect.
We are really compatible sexually and we have sex once or twice a week but we only see each other weekends.

I was in a way happiest I’ve ever been with my x and it was perfect home and family and I wasn’t bothered going without sex.
I left him to become vegan and activist.

I was molested by my father and started having sex at age 13 with boys.
At 14 I had sex with a 38 year old when I was drunk.
I e been raped more times than I can remember and most sex I e had had been horrible.

I did not enjoy sex most of the time.it was awful and hurt and felt bad but thankfully I enjoy it now.

I’ve enjoyed it most with father of my son , with x and with current boyfriend I think.

My boyfriend masturbates weekdays when we are apart.
He seems to be a very sexual person.

If I nolonger wanted sex he could masturbate or we could just be friends.

I don’t want drama and jealousy.

I believe in free love and that you can have a open relationship.

You could have a wife and adore her but not be that sexually compatible with her and then have a girlfriend you are compatible with.

If you have that type of relationship you should all agree and give consent and you should be careful of diseases and be faithful in your arrangement so you don’t cause drama or diseases.

I had a boyfriend who wanted to be a swinger.
Into bad stuff.
I did not want to be a swinger.
He kept pushing me.
We never met another couple.
It was not a good relationship.
He got me to put naked video clip on swinger site though.darn hey.
He didn’t adore or love me or respect me or value me.

I don’t want to be a swinger.

I only want sex with my boyfriend.

Honestly I still love my x in sa as his girl in a way but that’s beyond and more than sex.

If you decide to never have sex again then maybe you should talk about it.

I could go either way. Sex isn’t necessary to me or my partner. It’s nice when it happens but we often go several months without it. Mostly because my partner and I are both on meds that reduce libido. It works out for both of us.

That said we do spend a good chunk of time cuddled up together watching tv or YouTube. Lots of hugs too.

Basically never. So I guess this needs to be addressed.

That can happen in heterosexual relationships too where one wants to dominate the other.

Look at some religion where the women has to obey her husband.

I don’t want to be dominated by anyone.

I told my boyfriend I want us to be equal and not ā€œones the boss the other obeysā€.

I can live without the sex if that’s how things work out. I would prefer to have a good friend for a lifetime rather than a one night stand.
