can a relationship survive without sex?

[geek4life]

My girl friend is very religious. So do you think a relationship can survive without sex?

Edit: I should rewrite my question to: do you think sex is the #1 ingredient in a good relationship?

She obviously can.

The question is can you?

99.9999999999999999999999999 of the time, relationship is all about sex.. so NO.

 

[Drizzy]

yes it can to a level... then you have to decide if you're going to move forward - she probably wont have sex until marriage. If you are good with that then SURE it can work. If not, you might wanna leave instead of trying to force the situation.

if it is a platonic relationship... well, if shes not looking for sex in a relationship [for right now at least], and you are, you can figure this out

I think that number is just a bit off.

Don't worry about sex. If the relationship is good, sex won't change things much -- except you'll be getting less sleep.

i think you need to ask the married people here, they would know the answer.

Even 2 birds makes a very sqeaky noise in the morning, proof that it's a natural thing as much as eating, drinking and sleeping.
most divorce if not all is a result of sexual dissatisfaction. no sex, no love, anymore question?

umm actually it will change a lot of things. whether it's good, bad, average or absent it always has bearing on the relationship.

let me ask the OP, if i'm not imposing, how old are you?

there is the #1 reason why female and male need each other, but hell that is a personal matter so I wont say more.asdf.

yes a relationship can survive without sex but under certain circumstances. for example if shes a virgin and is waiting till marriage etc.

Wow dont listen to this guy. He hasnt done ANY research into the subject or he wouldnt have stated this. Finances are the leading cause of divorce and there are a lot of reasons for divorce before sexual dissatisfaction. I would bet it is on the lower end of the scale.

And then when the moment of triumph comes it is plagued by thoughts of nervousness and inexperience

I'm only guessing because I've never had sex, but the first time is ALWAYS going to be "plagued by thoughts of nervousness and inexperience." Why not share that with somebody who has promised to stay with you until death? If your relationship can't stand a bit of awkward sex in the beginning, then what are you doing in it?

BTW geek4life, I honestly think you should do your girlfriend a favor and break up with her. If you disagree on religion, it will be an issue for the rest of your lives.
