Love without sex
My girlfriend says she loves me but won’t have sex with me. I really want to sleep with her and I don’t want to leave her. What should I do?
What do you want?
Your question seems a little backwards to me. Your girlfriend has made her feelings and her decision clear: she loves you but will not have sex with you. The question is: Are you okay with staying in a sexless relationship?
People create all manner of relationships and partnerships depending on their needs. If you ask around you will find some married couples who have not had sex for years. They may still love each other but they are focused on other things such as raising a family and they find that sex is not a priority. Other unions are based purely on sex and close examination might reveal very little affection but a lot of lust.
What are her reasons?
A clear and blanket ‘no’ to sex is usually fuelled by fear or religious fervour. So which is it with your girlfriend? Is she a devout Christian, Muslim or Hindu who is waiting for marriage to express herself sexually? Is she afraid of the consequences of sex, such as pregnancy or infections?
Perhaps she is focused on school or building a career and she is clear that a child, or a too serious relationship would derail all that?
Talk to each other
Until you and your girlfriend speak candidly about these issues, you will not know why she came to the decision not to have sex with you. You will also not know how long she intends to live this way. Does she want you to wait for marriage? Is she okay with you having sex with other people until she is ready? Also, what is sex to her? Can you have oral sex and masturbate together while you wait until she is ready? Once you have this information, you can determine if this is the type of relationship you want or if you want to find another person whose values are more in tune with your own.

I don’t see that as a problem
I don’t see that as a problem; my guy n i is passing through the same thing ,we both agree not to have sex till we got marriage and we are happy for each other for the past two years…remember sex is not a payment of love/marriage.
Hi Evelyn,
Hi Evelyn,
that’s great to hear, so happy for you!
But then, remember that both you and your partner agreed on this- the person who is asking the questions seems to want sex, while his partner doesn’t. That is bound to get difficult…

Oh no, Ivy dear, so sorry to
Oh no, Ivy dear, so sorry to hear that! That is the worst thing a woman can hear, isn’t it?
Have you talked to your husband? What happened?
You need to take some time to figure out what you want and need to happen now. And then talk to your husband. Do you think you can trust him again? And if so, what do you need him to do in order for you to trust him again? What does he need from you? Why did he cheat? Did he cheat more often? Lots of talking and honesty will be necessary now- it will be a difficult time for you. All the best.

my husbannd doent satisfy me
my husbannd doent satisfy me he lasts 5min in bed an I dnt get satisfied is he weak o wat really dnt knw worried
Hi Ayanda,
Hi Ayanda,
have you showed and told him what you need? Have you told him where your clitoris is and what to do with it? Only if he knows what to do can he satisfy you. And you are the one who will need to tell him. He has a penis, not a clitoris. I’m sure he had to show you what he wants and needs in bed.
You guys need to start communicating. If he doesn’t know there is something wrong, he won’t be able to change anything. So talk (nicely!) and show him what you need! I suggest lots of foreplay with attention to the clitoris, oral sex for you and preferably an orgasm during foreplay already.
Absolutely,love is not all
Absolutely,love is not all about sex.for the Bible says “SEX” is meant only for married couples, that is sex before marriage is a (SIN)………..

Hi Snipper,
Hi Snipper,
we totally agree with you. Communication is the key to everything in a relationship, especially sexual matters.
Normally when a girl says
Normally when a girl says they love you,they actually mean it. If she is religious then respect that as that means sinning to her. If she’s not religious, then ask her I suggest you find out from her. And that doesn’t mean you hit the nail on the head. Women like it when it’s an adventure not a sudden discovery.
Hi Sam,
Hi Sam,
You are right, relationships should be about communication, being honest with each other and respecting each others choices.

am afraid to have sex with my guy though i love him, he has given me a year and am not comfortable with that
Hi Farsha,
Hi Farsha,
first of all, if you aren’t comfortable, don’t do it. Secondly though, why are you afraid and uncomfortable? Share your fears and concerns with your partner. Talk about it. Try to find a solution together.

Distance relationships can be
Distance relationships can be hard. When a partner moves to another place for an extended period of time it can put a lot of stress on the relationship. One person is off doing new experiences and the other is at home missing the person having to figured out life without the other.
Both are going out and doing their own actives, hanging out with other people and it can make finding the time to talk hard. Many people get jealous because they do not always know what the other person is doing or seeing while they are apart.
If your partner isn’t calling you it can be for a variety of reasons. He could be busy, trying to explore his new area, he is becoming less interested or maybe even met someone else. The only way you can know is through communication. Communication is important in any relationship but especially in a distance relationship. You need to share your different lives with each other through words because you cannot experience it together.
My suggestion would be next time you do here from him, calmly explain your feelings. Tell him how much you care and miss him and that you are concerned for the future. Let him also share what he likes and does not like about the distance. This will help you understand this next stage of the relationship.
If he is unable to let you know what is going on, or refuses to answer you then you might want to reconsider the relationship. You are a strong and independent woman and deserve to be with someone who will respect and listen to you. If this behavior is continuous without explanation, it is unacceptable.
Hope this helps. Otherwise check out some relationship tips:

In our 3 yrs. of long
In our 3 yrs. of long distance relationship. By the time that we had meet. We decided that we should never have sex. Why? We do support sex b4 marriage. I am afraid that ir we had sex already then we broke up, I would become a losser. Plus he never want to have sex with me to , because he was afraid also that he may ruined my future. He respect my belief and we both have ambitions to fullfilled. We preserve our sex till we meet again after we shared our vows. And now we are half a decade but still love each other. #sexless relationship is also good.

Hi Mungai, people are in
Hi Mungai, people are in relationships for different reasons. If you are only interested in sex you need to consider ending that relationship to be with someone with similar interests to yours. If not you need to be patient and wait until your partner is ready.
