So, the thing is, I’m asexual. Which means that I don’t have sexual attraction. And for me, means that I probably won’t have sex a lot. Also, if I do, I won’t feel anything about it. Just neutrality.
For other people that aren’t asexual, some of them want relationships but not sex due to past trauma and things like that.
From what I’ve heard, having sex is like “the thing” in a relationship. Like people have been broken up with because they didn’t “satisfy” their partner enough, so on, and so forth.
So… how important is it to you in your relationship? Would you Would you date/have a relationship with someone who isn’t interested in sex and/or doesn’t like it? Why or why not?

I would just because I have a low libido. I feel like that’s the only way it’ll work.
No. Because I like sex. For me, sex is both physical joy and a way to connect emotionally with my partner.
I’d stay married if my wife couldn’t or didn’t want to have sex, but it wouid be hard. And no, I wouldn’tve dated her if she was disinterested in sex.
Maybe. Butt! I’m poly and Will have sex with other partners.
No, I like and enjoy sex and for me it’s an important part of the relationship.
I have in the past and I wouldn’t do it again.
I wouldn’t because I need sex to be a part of the relationship. I don’t know how a sexual person could be compatible with an asexual person in an exclusive relationship.
There is someone out there that you are compatible with. It would not be an individual like me.
I straddle the line of asexual in the way that I could never have sex with another person again and I wouldn’t feel like I’m missing anything. Sex isn’t a high priority to me, the person is my top priority. If we worked well together, sex or no sex wouldn’t be a dealbreaker
