Can a marriage survive without sex.

July 22 2018

Can marriage survive without sex? Posted:Jul 22, 2018 1:26 pm Last Updated:Jul 22, 2018 1:37 pm 0 Views I’m probably one of the millions who are in a great relationship and long time marriage (mine 30yrs) but with a bed only used for sleeping! Yes she is my soul mate. Yes we have been to hell and back and supported each other all the way. And I’ve always believed that a marriage only survives if the bed is also alive! We’ve certainly had a great early sex life. But she admits she has no sex drive anymore and is comfortable in our relationship because of the loyalty and love that I do show. But as I get older the physical side needs attention. How many of us are on here just looking for physical satisfaction seriously. And on a site that people attracts people looking for something more edgy. I am an alpha male. I like to take control. I’ve never been a sub or slave. But the thought of having a lady taking control and making the decisions without emotional connection is starting to appeal to me. Is this the result of having a relationship full of emotional love but not Physical? All I know is I love sex. I worship the female body. I honestly love nothing better than pleasuring a woman if it’s returned or not. Believe me my left hand is my best friend LOL.

    Relationships can of course... .if you are both happy.Obviously you are happy but not content. You may be able to have it all but you need to have the talk. One ot the most important and difficult talks of your life. Goodluck. There is a lot at stake, especially if you dont have the chat.

    There's a huge difference between surviving and thriving.

    And here’s why Can they survive? Yes Will they survive? Too many other relationship variables involved to answer that Should they survive?.... that’s just not for anyone outside that relationship to determine. Perhaps your years of behaviour with her just don’t sexually inspire her towards you.... it can be a ‘trained’ response. But here’s what we know. Clearly you have personal needs you wish to have met, and that has no doubt delivered you to this site to seek them out. So perhaps you’ve decided on your course of action Anything beyond that is assumption on my part. But asking we forum strangers to give weight to a decision in the future if marriage just doesn’t sit well with me - Posted from rhpmobile

    What your needs are and theirs, open communication and honesty works best. It also depends if the partner cares as well. If one loses their sex drive is it expected the partner to deal with it? I've experienced being the partner and told to deal with it.

    Follow the rules. If the rules don't work for you don't break them, change them (together). Would she like to watch? 😉 - Posted from rhpmobile

    I went without sex for around 3-years at the end of my relationship (long end), and when I finally separated told myself that if the sex stops, then there is no sexual / emotional feeling and don't make the same mistake twice. However, everyone is different.

    You say the loyalty you show her.. how is being on here trying to hook up behind her back being loyal?

    Seem to pose a big challenge in relationships. I guess its not just the physical act of sex that is missed, its the touching, the wanting, immersing yourself in each other. I'm sure I would miss that if it wasn't in my relationship. I guess everyone has their ways of dealing with it. Some will live with it , others will seek change.

    You’re wife doesn’t know you on here potentially to physically cheat on her I’m not going to judge, you have your reasons for being here I work part time in a Escort agency as a phone hostess and I’d say 80 percent of our clients are physically cheating on their primary relationship for a variety of reasons. I’m no longer shocked and I’ve learnt to with hold my judgement, not that my opinion should matter But I know this. Relationships can survive without sex. There’s no need to go into the ins and outs as to why your wife no longer has a sex drive but going by your age, if she is similar age then maybe menopause is the cause, however irrelevant What I know is a marriage/relationship will not survive deceit on any level, no matter how you frame it I believe you love her but I question whether you respect her, if you are on here without her knowledge or consent I hear the ticking of a time bomb and you have much to lose If you think you will get away with infidelity long term, you won’t If you love and respect her then talk to her and if you are here with her knowledge then I wish you all the best and stand by my original answer Yes relationships can survive without sex but not when one partner is not being honest,especially with themselves

    Sex can start wars and end wars. It is the expression of wanting and desire. Very powerful emotion and act. Without it can make some go mad, even affect a relationship. It could prob survive, but it can be like a candle. Soon the wick and wax will run out. Like any relationship, with fuel and spark missing or without, light of life becomes dull.

    Big question and the answer is yes. Due to a medical issue ( prostate cancer and hormone treatment) I have no sexual function at all and have have therefore been celibate for just over two years. Still quite happily married, in fact in some ways our relationship is stronger. Can I survive without sex? That is an even bigger question that is causing me some anguish.Ps My wife knows about me being on this site.PPs I feel some what a fraud still being here now that I'm largely a eunuch

    Without a shadow of a doubt a marriage can survive without sex. There's many ways to be intimate and express love for each other. It depends on the 2 parties involved in the marriage as to whether it would work though. No 2 marriages are the same and no 2 spouses apportion importance of sex etc in the same way. - Posted from rhpmobile

    Admittedly we, as a queer female partnership have gone months without full on sexual intimacy, yet we are still and always have been completely smitten and in love as we were in our horny bunny beginnings! We find joy and intimacy in many other ways... But, lately we have reignited our physical aspect and have fun sharing it with others sometimes and discovering new adventures! Everyone is different and have all kinds of dynamics. Pro tip: communication. - Posted from rhpmobile

    Pretty much what everybody else here has said, but can I also add that you rock the butler look. Can I also add that you had such a well-written post, then tacked LOL on the end. Like watching a Shakespeare tragedy where one of the cast farts right at the end.
