do you think that a gf-bf relationship can work without sex at all?

Question

i don't really know, can you tell me anything about this..

Answer 1

Yes, and amazingly, so can many marriages. Sex isn't the only reason to be in a relationship.

Answer 2

That is not a bf/gf situation. That is just friendship. While the friendship can be intense, it cannot substitute for the intimacy generated by having sex. You can love another like a brother or sister. Be devoted in an extreme. There is a different level of love though. Even most people who are in sexually intimate relationships do not strive for it or achieve it, however that is a dysfunction rather than a reason not to try.

You can create a household between a man and a woman without sex if there is an outlet. Some swingers couples rarely have sex with each other. Instead they have sex with other people. For most people that wouldn't work but for a few it works out well. The massive frustration and tension from abstaining from sex as an adult would be harmfull to the relationship. Plain and simple if your not getting it people tend to be grumpy. When it's there and in your face, that is torture.

In the case of a physical handicap. That's a tough one. If one partner is no longer capable of sexual relations that does not negate the love. Allowing sex with other people may well destroy intimacy and the relationship. It can be massively destructive to the ego of the disabled and serve as a constant reminder of thier loss. So alternative sexual release with other people is often not an option in a situation like that. It boils down to love then. If the love enough to give up sex for the rest of that partners life? Not an enviable posisition. A choice I wish no one had to make.

If you are old enough to have sex and there are no moral compunctions about it. Having sex is essential to a good relationship. Doesn't necessarily have to be with each other. It does have to happen though. If sex will eventually be an option it is also a workable situation. Such as reserving sex for after marriage. Rather frustrating I suspect. Never tried it myself LOL. Not even the least bit tempted to think about it. I'm grumpy enough already :) However there is a rainbow at the end of all that suffering and I suspect it makes life livable. If you are not of age, then saving yourself is a good thing for a woman. For a man it really isn't.

In short I'd advise buillding sex into any kind of alternate arangement you are considering. Remember friendships can be intense and a household can be built on friendship that is not bf/gf. If it makes it harder for either of you to get a date so be it. There will always be people that you can both have sexual flings with to satisfy that aspect. Eventually you'll part ways. The friendship does not have to end even if when you eventually wind up with a different household situation and lovers may even be brought into the household.

I think I covered every aspect of this question. Hopefully with avice that helps.

Answer 3

If both parties are ok with that it can work. There are couples who don't have sex, so it can work. But if one of them is yearning for sex, the relationship won't last forever without sex I guess.

Answer 4

Sex is a natural biological urge and a force which draws the opposite sexes closer. The answer is 'NO'.

Answer 5

sure - if you both communicate, understand and agree in advance that NO SEX is part of the basis of the relationship AND neither one changes their mind later.

Answer 6

if there is love but after 6mos or 1 year marriage should be considered to avoid horrible frustration..

Answer 7

totally, sometimes they are the best relationships

Answer 8

definitely.
