Could you have a meaningful relationship without sex?

[72-Jay]

You know, there's groups and websites for that. Have you tried google?

There is an asexual forum that I'd joined because I found it quite interesting and I *somewhat* fit in there. Used to check-in there on a semi-regular basis, but... they did a "upgrade" (and we know the word 'upgrade' really means downgrade when talking websites ) after that the site was so bad I gave up on it.

---------
Even if such a person existed & I happened across them, it still wouldn't do anything for being unloveable/unfriendable. LOL

Yeah, upgrades are rarely what they claim. I'm sure you're perfectly fine! Underestimating yourself is as lethal as overestimation, tho, try not to shoot yourself in the foot before you get to where you're going. And if you'd like a few decent asexual hangouts, do feel free to drop me a line. Beating the info from Google is much simpler when you already know the addresses.

That pic reminded me of Roseanne Barr and Edie Mcclurg being obsessed with playing bingo in an episode of Roseanne.

My wife lost her sex drive due to the hue amounts of chemo she received. I was only 40 when it happened. But the weird thing is, we discussed the loss of libido in each of us years earlier and agreed then that if it happened, the other could get sex somewhere else if they wanted. I was totally expecting it to be me, not her. Anyway, it was her. We tried it a few times but it was too painful for her as the cancer spread to her pelvis, and she just had no desire at all. But because of her terminal diagnosis she was terrified of leaving me and the kids and wanted me to find someone. I knew at that point that another woman was out of the question for me as she was really irreplaceable, so I turned to guys. I had a few random hook ups on line while she cruised Craigslist, but we had no luck. Then I met this great guy on another site. We hooked up and really liked him. A month or so later my wife wanted to meet him. We all met and she approved of him, so he and I started the friends with benefits thing, but I'm an emotional guy and I fell in love, and so did he. And after a bit of reassurance, so was she. She preferred me being in a relationship than just random anonymous hookups.

Anyway, he fit right in with my family (also because he doesn't have one), and everything is alright. He adores her, she adores him, my kids include him in everything we do, and my extended family is scratching their heads going WTF is going on in that marriage? But we love keeping them guessing. My wife has the benefit of two husbands and I get all the sex I want plus a vacation home on the weekends. The joke is that they have joint custody of me . So, to make a longer story longer, yes it is possible.

I've proven to myself plenty of times that the unfriendable thing is true
I know of a couple other asexual sites, but never bothered to join them. (also found a meetup group - that I did join, but their meetings are never at a day/time that works for me. So never gone to any & doubt I ever will now.)
I'm not 100% ace anyway..somewhere in that gray area inbetween..
