Can a couple be happy without a sex life? My best female friend has met a guy who is just great. Good looking, articulate, nice, friendly, responsible, successful career and full of life and health. The trouble is while he is very romantic he has basically no sex drive. He just is not interested and tells my friend that he never was. He has tried counseling, drugs and hypnosis, none of it has worked. He just is not interested in either women or men in a sexual way.
Does he ever have a chance at love if he is not interested in the sexual side of a relationship? Is the relationship with my female friend doomed?
marriage without sex is "life partner" not "lover"
if she can't handle it, it is doomed, if it REALLY doesn't bother her, then go for it..
i say she needs to whip out a vibrator in front of him and go to town, maybe it will flip his switch
Blah blah blah.
Sex and love go hand in hand. If this guy isn't wanting to burn up the sheets in the early phases of the relationship, what does she think is going to happen five-ten-twenty years down the road? My wife and I have been married 18 years and I still want to nail her every opportunity I get.
Sounds like he may be asexual, which is not a choice. So, it could pose a problem.
There are a lot of people like him. They don't have the desire for sex, so they don't miss it and they're not unhappy without it. They still have the same emotional needs as most people.

If he is just damaged, then there may be hope for him. Is she willing to work with it - that's the question.
That's true. We once knew a couple like that. I would have sworn the guy was gay, while the wife was practically a raving nympho, peppering her conversation with sexual references. Last time I heard, they're still married 20 years later, but evidently there's an understanding--one where she can sleep around while he just kind of hangs out at home.

I don't know about her, but I wouldn't and couldn't. Some women can handle it, but to me it's a mystery how. To me love and sex go hand in hand. If I was her, I would RUN.

Hi JBMallory,
Just like breast feeding doesn't push out the cuddle hormones? If she wants sex, then she is in for a long miserable life. Just sent her to the sexless marriage threads. He will not change. He should find a woman who is in to not doing it.
