Since this topic Got posted twice. I would like to know would you ever consider being in a relationship without sexual linkages. A kind of relationship where love is beyond sex-It does not culminate into a carnal relationship? Have you ever wondered about it?

'It's just the freedom of not having sex on my mind when I am with a man. It's hard for others to understand how it weighs on my mind' Says a Cancer Survivor.This Cancer survivor left with body too damaged for sex launches dating site for people who want love without physical intimacy 2date4love.com only launched at the start of this month, but in the first three days alone, it received 2,000 visitors. Ms Brashier hopes the site will be a beacon of hope for what she calls 'a silent group', who may have suffered traumatic injuries, paralysis birth defects or extreme radiation like herself. 'Nobody talks about it,' she continued. 'I didn't want to be alone. This was the reason I went online. My reason is to help a lot of people like me if I can.'

This is a good thing. Especially for those who cannot physically engage in sexual relations any longer. This only means no sexual intimacy of course. Hugging, cuddling, holding hands, massage, kissing and caressing can still be a part of their expression of love to what ever degree they are comfortable with. Even babies need human touch or fail to thrive when deprived of it they can actually die from such touch deprivation.

I've thought about it, but I don't think I am currently developed enough to forge an intimate, romantic bond with someone without sexual contact. They would just feel like a friend. And I would probably get bored, and moody haha. Actually, the more I think of this, the more it horrifies me, to the point where I just feel it inherantly wrong, for me, of course. Nope, no way, couldn't or wouldn't do it.Putting my emotions aside and thinking logically though, if I could derive the same information, bond, and intimacy with a person without it, I would be capable of it, yes, but I don't see me ever wanting to. Sex is a beautiful thing, I see it as a celebration of the body, of unity, of giving, and a sharing of emotions that are rarely expressed in other ways. IP: Logged |

I love many people whom I'd never have sex with (and not just relatives ) and I've had sex with people I didn't love. It doesn't strike me as strange to differentiate between love and lust. They often mix, but not always. In the past I've lived with others in strictly platonic relationships that were otherwise very intimate. And I know life partners who live together without sex, too. The idea just isn't that strange to me. IP: Logged | |
