Well, romantic relationships don't exist for the purpose of having sexual intercourse. There is a lot more to it than that. Sex is just a small, small part of it. If you're in a relationship only for sex, you'll grow bored very, very quickly and move on to someone else.

If you took the effort and spent the time and money to get into a romantic relationship knowing your only real goal is sex, you are a serious dumbass. You can get sex easily from many women.

If the only point of a romantic relationship was sex, we wouldn't have romantic relationships. Only whores.



I feel like this question essentially is going to boil down to

"How far have you gotten in a romantic relationship."

If you get far enough, I don't think anybody would say no to having a romantic relationship without sex.

Given the choice, I'd take keeping the relationship over having sex again any day of the week.

I'd say there are A LOT of men like that. 

I personally don't really see much of a benefit a girlfriend has over a friend, aside from sex. I only hope that sometime in the future before I die, sex devalues won't automatically create a boyfriend/girlfriend bond between the partners.

Do you have a girlfriend? 

When I was younger, I'll admit that the "goal" always seemed like sex, but as I got older I realized there is a lot of comfort, love, happiness you share with each other outside of just the enjoyment of sex. The emotions you share between each other when even just cuddling with no intentions of sex are really wonderful.

Obviously no lol

I know that stuff seems wonderful to some, but seems boring and a waste of time to me. I tend to enjoy spending my free time alone. Other people's tastes aren't really compatible with my own. I usually talk to people a bit rarely when I feel the need to have some casual social engagement. I usually go out of my way to avoid people in my house because people always seem to force some sort of conversation when you're near them. It just feels awkward, especially when you try to back out of it without seeming rude. And it feels even more awkward when there's just a silence and you're right next to each other. What can I say? I'm not a people person.

It could just be because of the crowd I've been around that gave me a bad impression of people in general.

So then explain what a romantic relationship is about if sex is just small small part of it?



Yes, cause sex is a nice benefit to a relationship, however I know many people who, from age and/or surgery are no long physically able to have sex, that still value and cherish their romantic relationships.

When you look at it, sex is a part of many people's relationships, but it is certainly not all.

Look at ski racing champion Jill Kinmont. She was a US national level skier and Olympic hopeful who became a quadriplegic from a near fatal accident. She had never had sex in her life before she was paralyzed, but went on to have two major romantic relationships (and probably would have one, if he hadn't died.) She had limited control over even moving her arms and hands, but still chose to be in a relationship.

Here marriage lasted 36 years until her death early in 2012.



 

Really not sure I see any point of Consol over PC's since Kinect, Wii and other alternative ways to play have been abandoned.

Is that a serious question? What percentage of time for a couple married 25 years do you think is spent having sex?
