Do romantic relationships need to be sexual in order to be successful?
I'm ace with a low libido and constantly see people saying that if there isn't sex than its not a good relationship. opinions??? I don't really expect anyone to reply but I was curious to see what other peeps thought (づ ̄ ³ ̄)づ
Nope, but it's harder to find someone who will be with you till the end without sexual intercourse involved. I'm asexual and I haven't been in a relationship since I can't fulfill my partner's desires, especially if he's into that stuff. reply
If you look a bit into different sexualities, you might find people who have started to differentiate between romantic and erotic love. For many people, the two appear together, but you can love a person romantically and still not feel the need to have sex.

Trust me, no a relationship doesn’t need to involve sex to be a good relationship. I’ve been in a great nine year relationship that’s been completely platonic.

No and yes.
It depends on you and your partner, on what you both comfortable with in your relationship. For me and my partner, sex is important in our relationship, dont get me wrong, it is good before, but sex is like extra cream and cherry on top of our relationship.
But thats us, you both do what you guys feel the most comfortable with. reply
no. if your partner needs sex but you don’t want to then it’s probably not a relationship that’s going to work. but no, you do not need sex to have a healthy and happy relationship. 1 reply
