A few have said......sex.
Can a relationship survive without or very little of it, whatever the case and reasons might be if it's not the be all and end all of a relationship?
Thoughts please? |

Of course it can. Different people have different needs. Why would you think otherwise?
If you are asking about a specific relationship involving specific people, then it depends on them. As you must surely know. |

A partnership is about many things, but if there's no passion or intimacy then you're really just ending up as friends 
That's what happened in my marriage.
We're now separated, but happier now there's no "elephant" in the room.  |

I'm asking for myself, not others. But wanted others opinions. |

"I dont think anyone can answer that truthfully until they have been in that situation.
Sex isn't just about sex. Its the intimacy too x "
This  for sure |

It would depend if both parties have similar libidos and how important sex is to both of them... some relationships head that way after a while for various reasons. If both parties are happy who is to judge? |

Depends on communication, I guess. My ex and I had sex irregularly due to my travelling for meetings. I spent too much time in Europe. He ended up fucking people behind my back as he couldn't cope with it.
I'd give up sex if it meant my current partner stayed with me. |

"Of course it can. Many marriages are sexless.
From the beginning?"
Many 'marriages' can survive being sexless but I think another way of looking at it is can the relationship between the two people survive without sex if one of them isn't being fulfilled.

I have a male friend who I know would like to be more but I also know that he has some issues in the bedroom. He's a lovely guy and is good at other stuff but I am reluctant to get involved when I know that we'll be starting with problems to face.
Right now he is simply a very dear friend, I don't want to get more entangled emotionally and end up with this becoming a major issue. I've been there before and it just caused heartache all round.
Yes couples can face it and deal with it and become stronger. But they need to be strong to start with and I don't think I have it in me to be that strong after being burnt by this issue before. Shallow? Perhaps. But honest. |

it can exist but relationship just means two or more people interacting ,a loving fulfilled relationship should include sex as well as communication and cuddles and something in common  |

I'm sure it can (and does for many people) but you'd both need to be 100% happy with the arrangement. You'd both need to be on the same page with it. If one side wasn't totally satisfied with the arrangement then it could cause issues down the line. |

I think some people need sex , some people don't. Whether or not in a relationship.
If u need sex in a sexless relationship, and don't get it from somewhere else , with or without permission, then I don't think that relationship would last . |

I like to think I'm not that shallow that it's the be all and end all but I also couldn't be in a real relationship with out it. If I ever do get into a relationship again I'd hope she felt the same |

"Due the wife's health problems we haven't had sex in over a year & a half, we are still fairly close despite the lack of it."
I think there is a big difference between your partner not being able to have sex and not wanting to. The first isn't a rejection, the second is |

Not suggesting everyone changes their name, but keeping things fresh and interesting is a good help |
