Hey guys, I was watching Montel and they were talking about Asexual people/couples. Couples who don't have sex.... ever. Would love to hear what u think.

Research like this is definitely worth my hard earned money! Kudos to the researchers. I once also read that older men or women who have sex with younger partners also contributes to a youthful feeling.
I am pretty sure the asexuals may want to change their minds now, unless of course they prefer to be grumpy and looking like 60 when they are actually 40. I am yet to see a research that says being asexual is good for you...I guess maybe cuz it isnt. Its the dumbest practice ever.

I recently in the last few years ended up in something like this, but it wasn't a chosen thing...more of a decline or breakdown in the relationship. Although I have my own personal issues as far as sex is concerned (check out my other questions), I found once negative things started to happen within the relationship, I kind of found myself falling out of "love" and more into "like", and then was simply turned off by the notion of sex with someone who could say and do such terrible things to me. Even sex for the sake of sex wasn't going to happen...being that I'd rather have sex with a stranger...at least there would be no issues here since you don't even know the person....but after awhile, it just ends up becoming a platonic thing...more like friends that you don't expect what you'd expect from a lover. In the end, there's really no going back after a certain point, and you can fool yourself all you want that you're still in a relationship....but in the end, something is missing! I've heard of the Internet relationships that exist only on line, which I guess is fine, if that's what you're looking for, but it leaves too much room for pretending and not enough room for intimacy! Just my experience...hope this is enlightening. D

There are many couples, straight and gay, that do not have sex. Sex is a minor part of a relationship. It's an expression of ones love. For some they don't want or need that. The bond of a relationship is made from love not sex. So not having sex doesn't make the relationship any less strong. It's a personal preference, that's all.

That is soooo NOT me.I've got to get my groove on!There are many aspects of a relationship that does not involve sex.And those things are cool and necessary for the relationship to be complete and wholesome.But sex is a major part of my life.One that I can not possibly concieve abrogating.Those who do,more power to them if it makes them happy.Even if my sexual organs were to be tragically lost in an accident,I would have to still see my partner go to the moon in sexual bliss.After all,sex for me is not just about MY satisfaction...
Hugs!

in case you question me, the respond is not any..cuz sexual intimacy is an extremely organic human desire and that i do no longer think of maximum persons can shop their love relationships devoid of intercourse. yet, that's reported that as quickly as we become older, sexchronic has a tendency to be decrease, so i think of there will be some opportunities which you have that style of dating with somebody on the age of over 40 or so. good success!^^

It's often called a Platonic relationship as well.
If it works for them, sure why not, but it would not be something that I'd want or encourage.
The need to reproduce is one of the strongest needs in all species and at times can override the need to eat or drink i.e. some species will ignore eating in their drive to reproduce. Voluntary denial of this need is not necessary or even a good idea. On the other hand, if both people do not feel the need at all there is nothing that says they need to have sex.

It's quite possible to have a relationship without having sex, as long as both parties agree to this type of relationship from day one.
No sex doesn't mean no intimacy.

Well actually, you can.. you have a mate who loves you, treats you well, you have a great time together, and love to be around that person.. They bring a smile to your body every time you see them.. That is true love, and you can live without sex. and like the other person said, most marriages are like that these days..

Sex is great; but it isn't everything. A relationship without sex is totally possible and could be healthy if both partners are still getting what they want.
