can a relationship work without sex?

[Dasein]

Thanks Fras I didn't read her old posts.

Jen...you seem like you want to break up with him and explore life without him in it. It is perfectly fine at your age to do this. You probably are just delaying because you may feel guilty about it. Just do it like pulling off a band aid..quickly. Nothing will stop your boyfriend from being hurt. However you may end protracting this situation longer than it should be.

I don't understand. What is this stuff he needs to do that he is not doing even though he is having sex?

[jen913]

ok, so my past posts have also been a lil crazy. not everyone's lives are perfect. and to answer a few questions:

-no i dont 'put' myself in these situations. i don't know anyone who would want to do that.
-i did break up with him about 3 months ago, but he came back to me.
-cheating would make me feel terrible
-he knows of some guys hitting on me, but not all cuz i dont always say something cuz he would most likely start a fight

...i dont know why i even started writing here.

Do not get offended by people's responses. I think in the very least you should consider everything that has been said a little more. If you do not want to breakup at least take a break from each other. Time away can help you realize how much you mean to each other. If you are not willing to, try establishing better communication between you guys. Communication is key in any relationship, sex or not.

I don't know, but from what you posted, it sounds like you two are having a lot of conflicts. Maybe break up temporarily? See what happens and go from there?

interesting threads

It sounds like he lacks general interest in sex, skill, and an interest in YOUR pleasure. I can't see why you would accept this. Be glad you aren't married - you can easily fix this problem.

Look, some people are OK with a sexless relationship and some people aren't. If they are, and you're not, then I'd say you're not compatible as a couple. Either he can work to rectify this and meet your needs in the bedroom, or you can work to end the relationship and find someone who will double click your mouse.

Hey

I'm actually in exactly the same position, but I'm the bf and shes the gf. We've been together 6 years but for the last 3 years we've had the same 'sex' problem. I got slated on this forum about it, but I'm now at the point of having to throw away 6 years of greatness over an issue we've talked about over and over, but she just doesnt seem bothered to change. Its hard to swallow but just seems that you and I are with partners that dont share the same importance on sex. Its not a sex-maniac thing, some people need affection more than others and it seems like you and I need more than our partners do.

I hope it works out for you.
