reason being the fact that she's had a horrible experience and she just doesnt want to be touched in that manner

Answer 1

This truly depends on the individual. A man can be in a relationship with a woman with restrictions on physical contact. Now, if we are talking a long term relationship, which in my mind means marriage, sex is the height of all intimacy. She can talk to him about your experience but eventually the woman will need to seek some therapy, because that man will by nature long for that intimacy elsewhere.

Answer 2

i agree with Lunatic.i consider that she needs a friend more than anything else at this point.i think it all is a question of trust and a most-needed time of healing and being able to get over whatever negative experience she may have had in the past...
on the other hand,i disagree with Helly;true,most men are after sexual intimacy and satisfaction,but,as with everything,there are exceptions.i would rather u not base urself entirely on a general impression which could aver to be false in one most unqiue case...
personally,i would stick to her,because "a friend in need is a friend indeed",and that is really what she needs;she needs someone to understand her right now,and accept her simply for who she is and the way she is.i have no problem with only kissing and hugging;personally,i consider that to be a good start for someone in her position,given the experience she may have gone through.what's most important to me would be understanding her and being there for her when she needs me;that alone is intimacy enough already!

Answer 3

That would be tough. I mean its always good to wait until your married before having intimate relations but to know that you would never ever get any that would be hard. That's a very important part of a long term relationship. So I guess that means no I don't think I could be with someone like that.

Answer 4

Yes. That relationship is called a long-term friendship.

Intimacy can be achieved on many levels through conversation and verbal expression of feelings, but there is a limit as to how deep that intimacy can go if there is no physical part of the relationship.

Answer 5

To be honest she should probably see a psychiatrist to get things straightened out before she seeks a relationship. Most relationships won't last without intimacy. Not saying it can't happen but its not likely. I think most guys (in my girl opinion) wouldn't want a woman with issues like that. They couldn't handle it. She should get counseling then think about the relationship. She should feel good about herself and not have to worry about her relationship.

Answer 6

Sorry. We are all driven by sex. Men and woman. We are born (in our genetics) to want to procreate. Kissing and holding hands in the long rung would never work. I have enough semen in one load to get every woman in the US pregnant. Sorry, but the truth. 300,000,000 sperm average. We are driven by sex. That is the way of the world.

Answer 7

I would be fine with that for a long time. At some point, however, if the lady isn't comfortable with me enough to do that, I would be very hurt.

Sex after marriage could be the answer to that.

Answer 8

No...while I would feel bad for her, the fact is she needs to talk to someone to get her issues resolved, instead of them lruining her life.

Kissing and hugging is not intimate, and would in fact lead to a severe case of 'blue balls', making the whole 'no intamcy' thing worse.

Answer 9

I'd say she is way overdue for a shrink. Men can get that kind of attention from a puppy. Sorry dear. We aren't that stupid.

Answer 10

I'm a woman and can answer this one as if I'm a man cause i know the honest answer is no. They'll say yes, but men are ruled by there di*ks and if they don't get the relief they need eventually they will look elsewhere.
