how do you make your relationship work without sex?

Question

i am sixtheen and my guy is eighteen.

Answer 1

if u love eachother no one should ask 4 smthg u dont like
and sex is not love

Answer 2

I had dated my man for 3years before sex came into the picture and it worked fine. What u need to do is make sure u are friends... very important. As friends u always have things to talk abt things to do... yeah now and then u cuddle but dont push things faster than ur partner can handle it will only make them think u want them for nothing but sex. Besides there's fun in waiting u know. Give a taste but not all.. a glimpse and then pull bak like that it gives the relationship a kind of flavour so when sex comes in u know u have sth other than just sex and if ur partner falls really ill for a while and cant do sex ur relationship will still be healthy. Go out, hang out alone or with friends now and then, go to club pump and grind against each other as much as u want, get home cuddle together and talk till u both drift off. Generally do what u'll do with ur friends but u know with more gentility, affection, love and excitement. I hope this helps. Good luck

Answer 3

I think when u r in a long term relationship sex is a lot bigger a thing than just going out n getting it on with some girl u just meet on a night out. When ur really into some1 sex is a lot better and much more important, so although I think sex is a big part of a relationship it's definately good to have a non sexual relationship for a while at first.
If the non-sex goes on too long though people(especially the bloke) might start thinking about going elsewhere to satisfy needs.

Answer 4

I think a relationship can work for a certain amount of time without sex but eventually I think your instincts will drive you mad! It all depends on if you are not having sex as a choice - ie no sex before marraige - in this case atleast you know that you will eventually enjoy a great sex life- making up for lost time! lol! until you get wed enjoy getting to know one another - if there is another reason ie - medical - there are so many other ways to pleassure each other - there are fantastic toys on the market - as a woman i wouldnt care how it was happening as long as it was! If it is just personal choice then you have to be sure it is both of your choices and that you arent just going along with it to keep your partner happy - Sex is a great expression of love and feelings - so no matter how you pleassure one and other my advise would be to do it lots! x

Answer 5

Unfortunately relationships hardly ever work without having that basic need full-filled one way or the other, masturbation is something you could share together even if he is the only one doing you can still make it fun for him and be there for him one way or the other.

Sex is also necessary for bonding, a man would never feel close to you if you deny him that, if you are physically unable to have sex then you will just have to make the best out of it.

My suggestion is get over your fear of sex or work around your handicap if any, a relationship without sex is doomed to fail 90% of the time.

Answer 6

What a good and interesting question! Well, sex is certainly not the be-all and end-all of any relationship - far from it, in fact! It really is a very minor component in the anatomy of a relationship, and is certainly not what a relationship is all about.

Kiss, cuddle, caress, hold hands, be together - all these things in my view are far more important - and certainly longer-lasting - than the sex act itself. I can live without it,and in fact have done so for many years.

Sex in my view is vastly over-rated: if sex, and only sex, is the object of a relationship it is a wasted and futile exercise.

Answer 7

well 1st of all conrats on taking the right direction in life!

onto the nitty gritty:
he both have to agree with it.
you both have to CONTROL yourselves lol
so kissing and making out should be done with care because emotions flow and it gets hot fast.

essentially, this is what real relationships are about - a man and a woman finding out whether or not they can live together as a couple forever without major major problems.

making relationships work without sex only works if there is a strong agreement between the two.

Answer 8

Relationships are made up of respect, companionship, conversation, play, help and assistance, sharing, etc. Sex is only one part. So, if sex isn't on the menu, you need to fill the void its absence leaves by boosting one or more of the others. Otherwise, he/she will feel that void that much more acutely and won't be satisfied with the relationship. Basically, if something is missing from what he/she wants in a relationship, you need to try to make up for that in other ways - and accept it if your partner still can't handle it. Sometimes, that's just the way life is.

Good luck!

Answer 9

Sex is a natural product of love.
A relationship without sex is what is more commonly known as a friendship.
If you love someone, however hard you resist you will end up having sex with them. Anything else would be pointless and unhealthy self denial.
Regardless of how society tries to shame everyone about it, don't forget sex is the BEST thing - if it wasn't then the species would die out!

Answer 10

There is much you can do without involving sex, or at least without copulation. Get to know one another. Enjoy shared interests, talk, just spend time with each other. As committed christians, my wife and I do not believe in sex before marriage, so for the whole of our courtship/engagement we did not indulge. We still built a relationship with each other, and have been married for nearly 36 years. Hope this helps.

Answer 11

This depends on the reason for not having sex. I f both people are healthy and of age of consent, plus have no severe psychological problems that require abstinence, then it would be very difficult to remain intimate as a couple. You really need to add some details if you want a good answer.
