If the people you speak of have gone through all the tests and therapy and nothing can be found that is wrong then I would have to agree however I think too many people claim that is just how they are without investigating the posibilities that it can be cured because they are affraid.

Rick, If you can find someone who has a similar lack of interest in sexx, then I don't see why a relationship couldn't work. Now, the challenge is finding someone with no sex drive. Good luck!

I agree with this. Sexuality is so uniquely individual, and ever-changing throughout our lives.

I think a lot more couples lead sexless lives than they're willing to admit. And many of them are happy with that. Physical intimacy comes in many forms....it's not exclusive to intercourse. Kissing, holding hands, hugging, snuggling, back rubs, foot rubs, etc., are all wonderful ways to physically connect with each other. And, even more important, is emotional intimacy....that unique connection between two people in love who "get' each other and cherish each other.

Genital-to-genital contact is only a small part of romantic intimacy. If couples decide to forgo that, it doesn't at all mean they are not romantic and intimate with one another. And orgasms can be self-induced, and are as easily enjoyed alone as in tandem.

I wish I had no sex drive because I'm on the opposite side, I'm afraid I'm going to destroy my relationship by asking for it.

Well, much as you don't want to hear it, almost all relationships have a physical component to them. If you don't want sex, have you thought about an exciting career in the Catholic Church? There's a serious shortage of priests, you know.

True. I can relate. I don't think sex is important considering a majority of people like the FWB thing and I do not.

Physical isn't intercourse though. And I do not see why anybody would join the Catholic church. Organized religion is so overrated.
