Well, I was the first to dare to peek at this thread and wasn't going to respond but what the hay.

Yes, I do think you might meet someone be it male or female to share a place with you for companion purposes without sex. There are lots of people, I'm sure, out there that would like the same thing as you. There are some people that have slight autism and would be a good companion for you.

What you need to do is write a list of what you want in a live-in friendship and see if there is a asexual forum and see what happens.

But what I'm trying to say is I have something to offer someone in a romantic relationship.
If there is no sex, and no marriage what are you offering other than friendship?

But you've been saying that you don't want to be in a relationship. Are we going around in circles with this?

Oh, wait. I don't get it...you want a romantic relationship without the sex. Do you want to kiss and cuddle that person or no?

Some people have sex on the first date, but a lot of people don't. And very few people are thinking about marriage on the first date. So I don't understand why this matters so much in the beginning phases of a relationship.

Thanks for the welcome!

Yes, in the two or three weeks I've been hanging out on this side, I've already had to tilt my head a few times, scratch and look around for hidden cameras. LOL!

That's a good point. Hey OP, are you talking about a long-term, committed relationship with no sex and no marriage, or are you just talking about a long-term friendship where both parties are free to see other people?

I could definitely do the latter. There's no way I'd do the former. I'm celibate, but heck if I plan on dying celibate.

Okay, so you want a romantic relationship but you don't want to have sex?

Do you not want any sexual relations at all, no kissing, petting, oral? Are you just wanting to avoid penetration?

Perhaps you can't see yourself having sex because you haven't found someone worthy of having sex with? When you have an emotional bond with someone sex is very natural but if you've never experienced being intimately close with someone I can see how maybe you couldn't imagine having sex with a person.

I guess I don't understand how you could have a romatic relationship without at least some of those things.

Would you be interested in kissing/heavy petting?


If you don't mind me asking, why are you celibate?

True, but then relationships move onto something serious and sex is involved. Most if not all people realize that relationship will evolve into something more serious or not. For those that want something serious, they will dump you to find someone that they can be serious with.

I'm not quite sure WHY you don't get the evolution of relationships at your age.

It probably doesn't. But in time the people involved will either want to move things forward or break up. Are you suggesting that you want a series of short, sexless relationships followed by angry breakups?
