Could you cope with love, but no sex with your SO?

Of course I could and would... Just thinking about when it would happens makes it all the sweeter And if there would a reason that it could never happen it would be tough but if the love was strong enough then yes I still would stay

That would certainly depend on the relationship. If you have been together for years and years and are soulmates and both parties communicate, then YES ABSOLUTELY! However, for me, at my age and single status....HECK NO!! In my opinion there are ALWAYS sexually fulfilling alternatives.

Could you cope with love, but no sex with your SO? My late wife was a cancer patient, and during the last two years of her life, she was not capable of having sex. Yet, I continued to love her. Real love gives a person the ability to cope.

Yes I would for sickness or things that are out of our control but not sure about anything else. I would have to really think about it.

Real love gives a person the ability to cope. (((Dodo))) And yes, it might be hard sometimes, but OP didn�t say that there can be no kiss or embrace - and that would be enough for me. However even if that wouldn�t be possible I would definitelly stay with the loved one. Besides, I would be incapable of being with anybody else anyway when my heart is somewhere else. So answer is simple: yes.

So answer is simple: yes. So true Desire for sex is mostly just that...physical desire and attraction... Love ought not to be equated with lust.

I've hardly had any intimacy with a man. Please don't take that away from me. I'm so sick of fantasizing. So no!!!

As a person who suffers from what at times can be an extremely painful disorder, I have had to say no at times to someone I was in a relationship with. This is not always met with love and/or understanding. For myself, yes, I could and would. Still looking for someone who feels the same, and won't pout, persist, or have a temper fit if it's too painful for me.

Definitely, if he truly had integrity and true love for me! The true bonds need not be physical! Physical is great but it's the deeper bonds I would be concerned with!
