A sexless marriage, to me, is a passionless marriage, which should be the cornerstone to every marriage.
You cannot defeat a primordial instinct to mate with the opposite gender (or same gender, if thats how you roll), and if a married couple isn't having sex with each other, it's likely one or both of them is having sex with someone else.
I would rather die than live an otherwise normal, healthy life without sex.

Sounds like a knee-jerk reaction.
Maybe you need to read through the thread to see what it's about. It's not about a lack of passion. It's about incapacitation and a lack of ability. It's not about "isn't." It's about "can't."

I saw the thread starter, as I commented earlier. My comment was in response to how the conversation has evolved. sheeesh...
Now, I am thinking this. Say if a woman or a man got some disease which prevent them from having sexual intercourse with their spouses. Is it a reason enough to abandon the spouse due to lack of sex
Your thoughts please
example: chemotherapy / testicular cancer / breast cancer / etc.
I'd like to think I wouldn't. My husband would not leave me no matter how bad he wanted to. That is why I'd leave him if I got a disease like that.
If I had a hypothetical spouse and she became unable to be intimate due to medical reasons...then I would continue to observe my wedding vows, and stay with her, for better or worse, to have and to hold, till death do us part, etc. I would most definitely *not* leave or abandon her, just because of that. IMO, the only things that can ever potentially justify divorcing a spouse are adultery or abuse...and even then, in those cases, I would still try to do absolutely everything I could that was humanly possible, to save the marriage...
I agree with this. I think more married couples than not would also agree with this. You are either in a committed relationship or you are not and it is that simple. Seriously, if your sexual priority is number one, you will face a lot of hurdles along the way and I probably would avoid having children for sure! The only disease I would have an issue with is STDs acquired after the ceremony and it wouldn't be the disease that would be the problem.
The aunt and her husband should have, if they did not, go into counseling since her reason for not wanting sex could probably have been worked through. I guess though, we just don't know what goes on behind closed doors so it makes it a tough call when we are talking about someone else.

True love and compassion for the person you're with should and can override the ever so tiring biological (or "primordial") instinct excuse that sooooooooooooooooo many men use ad nauseum. Every time I read posts from some of the men on this site, I thank my LUCKY STARS that I have the man that I have!! I feel so sorry for all of the single women out there who have to deal with men like this in their lives. I can see and understand why some women hop the fence. The dating pool of decent, mature men who have a moral compass and stellar character traits is probably drying up by the day.

I almost said this same thing.
sex is the result of loving someone not the other way around. so that being said i could be in a sexless marriage.

A "primordial instinct" could be just about anything of human nature that is considered normal, since the beginning a mankind, as we know it. Human instincts aren't necessarily something inherently biological, but possibly cultural. There was nothing wrong with my verbiage, thanks.
Having sex is one of those things, and if you're in a sexless relationship (which it appears you probably are), then that is usually an indicator that something may not be right in the relationship.
No. Cannot have a sex less marriage. Unless she doesn't know I go have sex with another woman. I know some people can go out without sex for months or year, but I am not one of those person. I have female friends who complete her husband can go on months without sex. As a man, I can never do it.
