Is it possible to have a relationship without having sex?

Answer 1

Yes. Think of those people who get married and then one day one of them has an accident and they can't have sex anymore. They are still the person you love and married. You don't leave them.

Same thing holds true for everyone else as well. You can definately love someone and not have sex with them.

Answer 2

I think it is absolutely possible if both people are willing.

I admit that sexual parts of a relationship are eventually needed, but when you're talking about loving someone, you don't need sex to love. You can show your love through sex when it comes that time, which is what sex should be all about. But, people who act like they have to have sex if they have a relationship are full of it . . I mean maybe for them that's how it works but it is very much possible for two people to respect each other and have an awesome relationship without having sex.

I think sex can actually cause more problems if two people haven't gotten deep enough into their emotional relationship because then if one person wants it and the other doesn't there comes all these questions about who really "loves" who . . and it really shouldn't depend on sex. I guess the ultimate decision is what kind of relationship the relationship really is: a real emotional one or one that isn't as serious and more physical. I'm assuming you mean a real emotional "I care about this person" kind, so that's what I think. Sex should never be used in favor or against a real relationship unless for some reason there are compatibility issues which could hurt a relationship when it's at that level.

Answer 3

sure there are people out there that prefer not to have sex...I love my husband so much that If anything ever happened that he could not perform I would still have the same feeling for him. don't get me wrong I love sex with him but there is more there then just sex. there is a connection there emotionally. He is my best friend and confidant, we have a bond that no one can break. you only find that once in a life time.

Answer 4

Sex in a LOIVING relationship may or may not happen. Relationships aren't just about sex they're about mutual trust and understanding. If you have those two things first love may develop than you may/might CHOOSE to have sex. Don't build relationships upon sex alone there's much more to enjoy!

Answer 5

Of course.

Some married couples who have a great relationship choose not to have sex. Other married couples cannot have sex for physical reasons.

Not only that, I have a very important relationship with my son. It is a father-son relationship and has nothing to do with sex but much to do with intimacy.

Answer 6

Of course, there are many other things besides sex. I had a 2 year relationship and we didn't have sex and we never felt like needing it.

Answer 7

In other words, can we just be friends? Yes, you can have friends. We all can. You'll have to look for the people who take you as you are and not for how they can use you. To many young males see sex as the primary goal in being friendly with a female. Part of this is a "jock" syndrome and part of it is the from the movies and television. "Real life" though is different and immature people don't make the adjustment to "real life." You need to find mature friends and stay away from those people who are too immature for your tastes and goals, as well as needs.

Answer 8

Yes. A relationship should not be based on sex.

Answer 9

Relationship is a very broad word to use.
A friendship is a relationship.
Mother/father-daughter/son.
Co-Workers.
Teacher/student.
Etc, etc, etc...
NO SEX THERE! (Hopefully!)
As for romantic, it isn't right to be with someone for ten years without sex...in the beginning, sure it's fine. But if it's love the natural step is sex.

Answer 10

yes cause sex is something that happens once a relationship is established and both agree that is time
