I'm not banging any of my friends, male or female. Does that count?

Even very young people! I've met some who think sex is an unworthy chore where their performance (or lack thereof) is judged, they have to fake, waxing is an annoying prerequisite etc.

No. There is something very powerful called spiritual love. It can include sex but doesn't have to. To help you picture this think about all the lovers in real life and fiction that were unable to sexually consummate their love. You can't deny they were/are still lovers.

You lost me at "burden of having to put out sexually"....

There are many seniors who live "Asexual", not by choice, but age takes it's toll, both physically and mentally.

Companionship is their spiritual love.
