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.
I believe that a "spiritual love" is what evolves from a good friendship...and although more meaningful for some...sex is really no different than a walk on the beach, or a picnic in the park, or hiking...whatever...it's just another physical activity that we humans sometimes do.....the word "lovers" denotes sexually active to me....though I won't deny that one can "love" a friend without it
I have mixed feelings about sex. In some ways if you don't have much of a sex drive -- good riddance. Sexuality can be a dictator and just think about all the trouble and very poor decisions people make just to be satisfied in the short term. Then, they get tired of the sex with a particular person and the game starts all over again.
A loving, spiritual connection with a person is eventually what is truly important. I'm not saying that the 20 somethings reading this should stop having sex -- far from it. At some point though you'll need to move beyond it -- eventually you aren't the energetic good looking person you once were and then what do you do?
From what I understand, the difference between an asexual relationship and a friendship is that an asexual relationship involves emotional love that friendships don't have, and an asexual relationship can involve holding hands, kissing, cuddling, and planning a life together which friendships don't have. I never understood why people don't see the difference between asexual relationships and friendships . I'm not asexual and I can still understand the difference .
