When someone looks for excuses to not have sex (headaches, stress, too tired, etc.), it may be a burden to that person.

There's nothing wrong with being asexual. We need more of them in this world.

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 .
