Do you stop loving someone?

Question

if he or she can't fulfill your sexual needs no matter how much you both try?
My friend did after being married for 20 years and now all he wants is sex.

Answer 1

Absolutely not. Unless of course the marriage was based on nothing more than sex. Love is a lot deeper than sex. You don't spend your life with somone because they are good in bed. You don't spend your life with somone because you can have multiple orgasms with him. The joy of sex doesn't go away after you have been married a long time, but if there is an issue of not being satisfied, you have to look at what it takes to satisfy someone. Find out what it is, and see if it works with you. Some people like to play games, some like a little fantasy, some like a little porn. These can be healthy as long as both people enjoy it, but don't let the fantasy get more real than reality.
But most important, find a reason to be together for a life time. You can always live without sex.

Answer 2

Loving someone is NOT about sex. There are a lot of factors that go into having and maintaining a relationship and SEX should NOT be at the top of that list. Sometimes,other things are the factor for the sexual drive to go away,tension is one,stress,a lot of things can cause it to go by the wayside. I would NOT end a relationship due to not being able to have sex. Also they might want to consult a Dr for these problems and not friends.

Answer 3

Loving someone and sexual fulfillment are two different things. I left my ex-fiancee because she couldn't fulfill my sexual needs. I just thought it was going to put too much strain on the relationship. That was my choice, and I'm glad I made that choice. Could I have still loved her? Yes, of course, but I didn't want to continue relationship that I knew would probably end badly unless I were to be more adaptable than I felt comfortable being.

Answer 4

Errrrrrr tough question.

He couldnt be fulfilled at all sexually? No matter what the girl did? Sounds as if something was going on there- WHY couldnt he be fulfilled... that is another question.

I think it depends on what the relationship was based on. Perhaps he never did LOVE this person it was just LUST- and lust does die over time.

Answer 5

1st off a relationship of loving someone has nothing to do with sexual experience. that comes or should come last in a relationship. its about if the person give you verbal, emotional support, if they are nice, generous, considerate, sex can always grow, without the others there is no such thing is as loving someone.

Answer 6

You can't. You'll always love them. Find a new love to help push the other love deep into a corner of your heart.

Answer 7

i'm not speaking in terms of sexual relationships, but, i stopped loving my father back in 1988. my mother was on her death bed when she told me incredible tales of the abuse she had to put up with over the years with my father. she wanted to die to get away from him. she had no fight left in her.
from the time of her death, until he died, he was mean, sarcastic, obnoxious, and downright uncivil to my wife, my son, and myself. i could tolerate his mistreatment of me, but not the other memebers of my family.
i admit, i didn't love my father after my mother's revelations. i didn't love him right up to the time he died. i didn't shed a tear when he passed away.
time has punished me with guilt. it's the penance i'll have to live with until my dying day, when i hope to be able to make amends with him.

Answer 8

Your question was confusing to me. I think if you really love someone, you can't just turn it off.

Answer 9

yes, because the two go hand in hand

Answer 10

never, i will always love you.
