Would you date an asexual?

The bisexual thread is rather boring since most people don't care. But what about someone who isn't interested in sex at all? I've met more and more people (mostly girls) who have little or no interest in having sex with anyone of any gender. It seems to blur the lines between friendship and a relationship. Of course you can still have a romantic relationship without having sex but how much of that romantic desire is part of sexual desire? Isn't a desire to kiss someone still sexual? Sexuality is just a desire to be physically close to someone that includes a level of intimacy (sexual arousal) that goes beyond family or just friends. But if you don't have any desires for that level of intimacy (regardless of whether it includes orifice penetration or not). Can you have romantic desires? Or do you only enjoy the attention on a different level? How much can you take away from a relationship before it's the same as a close friendship?

I'd actually understand if they didn't want to have sex right of the bat or still a couple of years after; but comes a point where anyone would ask themselves if the person just doesn't like them back or something. I think intimacy is important in a relationship. For me that's basically cuddles and kisses here and there, but even I would want to have sex down the line. So would I date a asexual? Probably, but I'd still try to have some sort physical contact. Now, as for what separates a friendship from a relationship... I have no idea. You just know I guess...

No sex would be a deal breaker for me, and likely most others too. It'd be like having a best friend that wont let you have a sexual relationship with anybody. Best friends sure, but a relationship is a whole other ball game. No pun intended.

I wouldn't know. Being intimate let's me know I was being desired and loved. I would probably give it a try, but it would torture me mentally down the line, so there would most likely be an impending break-up. I wouldn't be against it, but I would really have to be secure with myself and dedicated to the other person.

Lol @loli-chan I agree with you, ironically. I would still have to have a lot of attention. ^^

@loli-chan just how demanding can you get? :D She's just asking you to have blue balls 24/7. It ain't that much, now is it?

Hmm that is a difficult question. Well It'd depend honestly. Like how much I cared for her and if she didn't like any physical intimacy. For instance I doubt it'd last long if I could even cuddle and kiss my girlfriend. Sex isn't on my mind 24/7 so I doubt it'd affect me that much if it was taken off the options list.
