Can happy relationships last without sex?

You got many more answers than mine. They, essentially (if there was one that I missed, I'm sorry) all agreed with me, saying things like: no, that's retarded, grow some balls, sounds boring, find someone like you, etc. The consensus is that a sexually normal female (or male) will not have a fulfilling relationship with you, given your current feelings.

Now, you're right, I'm the one who's been pissed off at you repeatedly "asking". You have had pretty much unanimous agreement that the answer is at least somewhere between "not really" and "fuck you for thinking about doing that to someone". So stop pretending that you're JUST asking a question, and that nobody understands. Everybody understands, nobody is giving the incorrect answer that you are looking for.

 

You're using words like "everybody" and "nobody" when I've only been having this particular discussion with you. The answer is not unanimous as it also ranges from "with the right combination of toys, oral, and fingering" to "maybe with a strap on," as well as the users who know someone who could be or are in a relationship like that. So yeah, you missed a few.

 

Still smells like desperation, and fact/logic bending.

I, myself, went from thinking "maybe", to thinking "hell no", upon experiencing your attitude and total lack of understanding of WHY there would be a problem.

So yeah, maybe with enough dildos or whatever, you could get someone off. It still will not be a sexually healthy, or otherwise healthy, relationship, unless that person has the same type of feelings that you do.

I know if you respond to this it will be more shit about how it's all just me that has this opinion, and how I don't understand you or your subtleties or ability to feel passion, and how you're JUST asking a question, and JUST want an answer.... I give up, you're a sorry fucker, and while I might play logical football about important things, you're not an important thing. So go on, come back and tell yourself that I just didn't understand, or answer, your question. But I did: I explained the fallacy of the foundations of your question.

 

While i disagree with you, i respect your point of view, even if you made the topic about me. Thank you for giving up on me.

As for everyone else who has commented thus far, thank you. The fact that there is a variety is enough for me to believe it to be possible, if still somewhat unlikely.

 

Hi all ! I'm new here ! I live near Spokane , Washington . My wife of 40 yrs. just decided to quit putting out about 3 or 4 yrs. ago ? So I moved to a bedroom at the other end of the house . While I try to figure out what the Hell I'm Freakin' gonna do ? With My Life at 59 ?

But sometimes when I'm with my Friends & it gets late ? She says ! " If yur not home in an hour I'm gonna throw all yur Shit out in the Front Yard " ?
And Then I say Damn ! Another Yard Sale ? WTF. ? ;~). Arny

 

And High ? I probably should have made that my own post ! Instead of tagging on to Just_a_woman's Post ? Sorry , Just !

 

My parents are in their early sixties, I don't think they have had sex for years. They are the happiest loving couple I have ever seen :

you're very welcome Arny. Btw Mum and dad do a lot of lovely things together, they walk a lot, talk a lot and do a LOT of kissing

 

Need sex or FOAD

 

what is FOAD????

 

Fuck off and die =p

 

sorry I still don't get it?

 

Hmm.
Telling any would be sexual partners that I need sex in a relationship so go away if you not going to satisfy.

 

that won't last long. some people are in relationships for more than just sex. For some its not even a part of the equation, yet they are still very happy people. My cousin has never had sex and she is happily married 12 years. Of course I should mention she has spina bifida.

 

why are you in the minority faelixx

 

Faelixx you are not alone. As much as it pains a lot of people to admit it, there are many people out there for whom sex is not an important part of their life.

 

"Can happy relationships last without sex?"

Your implicit assumption is that one has sexual desires and the other does not. How in the heck can a relationship be happy if two people are not on the same page?

From someone who has been fighting a "sexless" marriage and is hopefully winning for both partners, I ask you to please be forthright and honest with potential partners before they go all in for you. Be as brutally honest with potential partners as you are with yourself, and the sooner, the better. You and any partner you couple up with deserves open honesty with hopefully, no filtering, from your thoughts/feeling to your communications with a potential partner.

You and your partner deserve honesty!

 

just trial and error, with no regret.
