Re: What counts as a 'real' relationship?

(Anonymous) 2013-07-22 12:24 am (UTC)(link)
Repeat after me: SEX DOES NOT EQUAL LOVE.

I'm not asexual myself, but I see this message all the damn time, and it's starting to annoy me. (Like in films or books, the love interests will have sex once, and then "We're in love! Let's get married!" In real life, this is generally a bad idea.)

Love - caring unconditionally for the other person, and receiving that care in return - is what characterises a genuine relationship.

Sex is just something fun to do with the other person, but it is not a requirement. Because plenty of other people have sex, without it being a real relationship (one-night-stands, friends-with-benefits, prostitution, and a very dark example, rape is technically "sex", but love has nothing to do with it.)

Please don't be sad, OP. You can find a "real" relationship without sex.
