After some thought, I was wondering if any of the asexuals out there have chosen a relationship to fulfill the need to be with someone, without the burden of having to put out sexually. Is it generally an opposite sex partnership or could it also be same sex?
Oh, never thought of it. It would be interesting to see if that worked..but I am confused if both individuals were asexual then there wouldn't be a burden to put out because they both lack interest in sex right? Would the relationship be like a platonic long term relationship?
I have been in an asexual relationship with a very beautiful woman. She was an Angel, and I loved her, and she was hot, but I was not sexually into her...it was like I was her brother. I even bought her big fake breasts to make her into my little blonde barbie doll but it did not help. She was not American, was quiet, and for me i need to be very attracted to someone on a biological level and intellectual level to want to have sex with them for more than a few times.
I felt bad because in a year we had sex like four times only when I was drunk. She was pretty, loyal, and sweet.
Another time I dated a professional tennis player who had a pretty face but had a very masculine body...I just could not bring myself to have sex with her...and she was very horny and sexual...we broke up over this.
You can have an "asexual" relationship with someone of the opposite sex or same sex -- and its not terribly uncommon actually. As long as both parties are comfortable with the situation then why not?
I assume you mean an intense emotional connection(that goes beyond a mere friendship) with someone you live with and share your life minus the sex part. This happens to many relationships that start out sexual I think as well.

Asexuals can be drawn to one gender or the other, or both, it just depends on the person.
Pardon my ignorance on this subject, but if you're looking for a close relationship without any sexual or romantic component, isn't that basically just a friendship?
That was what I was trying to differentiate between, a friendship and a relationship. It seems that sex is a part of the relationship classification, but then again there is also the saying "friends with benefits". A friendship is a relationship, too? There is asexual, and there is aromantic. Perhaps some asexuals are romantic and still look for a partner? I am tying to see the differences between other asexuals and myself. Do they fall in love because I have no idea what that entails.
