Have you ever fallen in love without needing to have sex with your partner?

Yes, love is more than sex, WAY MORE. You ever hear that saying, "Love at first sight"?  Well, it really does happen that way sometimes.  :)\n\nAlso, I fell in love with my children before they were even born, and when my eyes first fell upon them, I felt such love so deep and pure that it brought me to tears.

Yes dear that is why I ask the ? I did. I was married but not in love but I was in like (she is pretty, nice and rich) and horny and wanted a women around so I married.. Then I fell in LOVE with a women that was a kinda  friend of ours..She not a close friend but a regular friend...... This is now going on still..I got a divorce cause I am in LOVE and want that.. not just a friend to have sex with ..but a women to cherish and adore and can't wait to be with...but she even though I feel she likes me holds me off from talking to her... so I'm extremely frustrated and lonely!!!!

Sex is not a hobby.What ever happened to being in love before you have sex.Sex is suppose to be beautiful between two people.I don't want to seem rude but cant you just stay with one partner.??

Are you serious? Sex is just a physical act. Love is the feeling you have for your significant lover. When you are in love, sex becomes the expression of that love. If you are not in love, it's just an empty physical act.\n\n To Blue Blooded: why can't you love someone without having sex? Please explain.

yes!! I use my imagination. That's what keeps a relationship together sometimes. Well mine atleast. I don't think about him when we are doing it.

I use to.... I never thought that I would fall in love with anyone.  I really wasn't interested in having a long term relationship.  Then one day it just happened, I becames great friends with a man that I thought was a total dork at first.  One day our frienship blossomed into much more.  It will happen when you least expect it, so my advise is to just have fun and don't go looking for love.  It will find you  :)

love is the mos important and beautiful feeling and sex is just a outcome, So without love, sex is nothing

i think it might be very rare to actually fall in love at first sight but it can happen. now, if you see someone and all you think about is "wow, they must be great in bed" that would definitly be lust. but if you feel like you really want to get to know them then yes, i would say it was love. only because that has happened to me. when i first saw my boyfriend (we both met at church) i totally knew that i cared for him. but caring is not the same as love. but it did turn into that. so it is a long process, sure there was attraction but also a deep mutal respect and care for that person as well. sorry if this is confusing but love is sometimes a confusing thing.

I'm not sure but I personally would not have sex with someone I didn't love. I know others don't have a problem but for me love is having someone you can't imagine yourself without. Someone you want to grow old with and have babies with and be with in sickness and health , rich or poor. Sex is important but not important enough for me to just do it with anyone. EW!

That question kinda has a tricky answer. We develope relationships all the time that don't involve sex. People love their parents, I know I love my friends. However, in a relationship it's more complicated than that. \n\nIn order to oblidge natural urges my first inclination is to say yes, in that one isn't really complete in a romantic relationship until sex. There are several biochemical and social reasons for this. It's hard to feel romantic love for someone without feeling that you know them completely. If two people are avoiding sex with one another they are not opening up to each other and cannot "know" their partner's, in that sence. As far as natural hormones are concerned, the bonding chemical of the brian called oxytocin is signifigantly more present in males at the time of orgasim. Women's levels of oxytocin are naturaly much higher than males, on a day-to-day basis. They feel bonded with people much more easily than men. With this in mind one could argue that a woman might be able to love without sex much more easily than a man.\n\nHowever, in a time when "no sex until marrage" was very prevelant people still fell in love. I think that we as a race and as a culture are always looking for ultimate companionship in another person. We will always find that special bond no matter what aspects of it you add or remove, including sex.

one not involving sexual relations

yes I do....and to the person that said its lust, I have you know that my man and I have been together for 3 months now, plus we knew each other as friends and we have not had sex.  We are waiting until we both feel the time is right.  You know if its true love, when both of you finish each others sentences, you can carry on a conversation about anything, you wake up and you immediately think of that person, or you can be sitting at your desk and think of that person, then the phone rings and its them.....that's when you know you are in love.

It sounds stupid, and everyone says it, but you JUST KNOW.  I kept asking people and they could never describe or categorize it and, when I fell in love the first time, I just knew.  I don't know how I knew, but I did.  I felt an overwhelming sense of love for my boyfriend and I kept weeping at dinner (which was unfortunate, because we were at a really nice restaurant--pretty disastrous).  ; )  I was totally consumed with love, I couldn't think of anything else and I was so happy.  I felt like I was going to burst, literally, with love.  So, I finally told him about 30 minutes later--in a silly place-in his car, in the garage.  Not really romantic, but I couldn't wait any longer.  I told him that'd I'd fallen in love with him.  : )

My boyfriend and i have gone more than a week without sex and we have tight scehuales as well but we usually talk on the phone maybe you could do that on your breaks but if you too really wanted to have sex then you would find the time say in the morning but when you go a while without it its absolutley amazing when you have it well atleast in my opinion

it depends on if there is more to the relationship that sexual activity. if the couple is interested in each others thoughts and likes their personality and cares for them then sure it could lead to a commited relationship. but if sexual activity is all the relationship is about then i would have to say no. you cant truely care for someone if the only thing you know about them is how good they kiss.
